Survival Fire Steel Premium Magnesium Ferrocium Rod Firesteel Includes Flint Striker Multi Tool & Chunky Wooden Handle for Grip Essential Fire Starter Camping Survival Kit

Really good fire starter. Bought as a gift for a fire enthusiast and they loved it. It works so well

I'm not a hardcore woodsman, but have wanted a half-decent fire steel for quite some time, and this one fits the bill nicely. I've mainly wanted it so that I can keep my skills up to scratch and to teach my daughter to use one too. The steel is a good size, and comes with a nice size striker that is big enough to be comfortable in the hand. It sparks easily, and the sparks themselves are clearly high temperature, unlike the ones you often get with a traditional flint and steel. The handle on the steel is a decent size, but is raw wood and in damp conditions over a long period might be susceptible to splitting, but I've not had it long enough to test this. A bit of wax, boiled linseed oil or varnish would sort that out easily enough, and allow you to personalise it a little anyway. The striker cord isn't too long or short either, so overall it's a good bit of kit at a very good price. I really can't fault it for the money, and if nothing else, it would make an excellent backup to a trusted favourite.

Great product very sturdy and secure, easy to use and very powerful

Sparks very well once the black coating is removed from the Ferro' rod and the edges of the striker. I have lit my alcohol stove with it and some cotton wool balls used for starting wood fires.

Nice and robust product The metal rod which produces the spark when stuck is painted black….this paint initially will prevent a spark so you need to keep striking it to remove the paint and then you’ll get a good useful spark. I haven’t created a fire with it yet so cannot comment further, it’s more an emergency item for when the looters steal all the matches!

This works well, easy to strike and creates a mass of sparks every time. The string is a little short but I reconfigured it and now it’s perfect. Taught my 7yr old daughter some bushcraft and she found using it a breeze as well and successfully started a fire. Good value for the price.

Actually to my surprise, this worked and I got flames at the first attempt. Very pleased.

I am a complete novice when it comes to building camp fires but this has made it so much easier, I won't go camping now without it, great piece of kit.

E' davvero incredibile la quantità di scintille che genera ! L'ho acquistato in abbinamento al mio coltello da sopravvivenza e devo dire che funziona egregiamente. Leggero e maneggievole. E' davvero facile accendere un fuoco, basta che sia approntato il materiale adatto, secco e finissimo per l'innesco e via ! Raccomandato.

Efficace, de qualité et pas cher

Werkt zeer goed. Al vele malen gebruikt tijdens onze kampeervakantie

Got this tool for my 9 year old son to use. He practices with it almost daily(supervised of course). It’s a nice quality, I know that it will last him for quite a while. The multi tool is an awesome addition as well.

Mit ein bisschen Übung bekommt man es super hin. Wir haben viel Spaß damit und schon einige Feuerchen gemacht.
