DOSMAMZ 2PCS Compact Fire Starter with Scraper Striker, Replaceable Threaded Ferro Rod Flint Fire Steel Magnesium Rod, an Essential Part for EDC, Emergency Survival Kits, Camping, Hiking, Bush-Craft

I have to give this product a 5 because these are super nice containers and the price is good. In an emergency, with patients and correct materials I could start a fire with these. But to count on ease of use every time for every day camping or for showing off for a camera or group at your great fire starting abilities. This isn't for you with out tweaking the product. ie sharpening the striker and replacing the ferro rod with a better one. What you have is a good looking, lightweight, small, waterproof container for your ferro rod and striker that will work with a bit of work. I bought these for mine and my sisters emergency bags, I will replace the ferro rod for hers as she isn't as adapted to fire starting as I am. She was in that last hurricane and I will rest easier knowing she will have a mini 3 day bug out bag, though she is a tough cookie. This container will keep her ferro rod dry and preserved for many years. The ferro rod does twist out and can be replaced or just add another one loosely inside. I am very happy with the purchase and thank you for making them affordable. For the reviewers hitting below 4 stars, re think it because the cases alone are worth it at a great price. I received mine within a few days. I would buy again.

You get two units, one orange and one green. These are quite small (about 3.5" or so total, with ferro rods that are actually about 1.5-2 inches), and throw sparks accordingly. They work, but you may need to work a little harder to get a fire going than when using larger ferro rods. Just make sure you've got really good tinder.All in all, this is a great gift for a Scout, to throw in your bugout bag, or to toss into a survival kit. I probably won't make them my primary, but at this price point, they're great backups.

I have used this now mainly to start my propane stove for three years. It has never failed me and still going strong. So much more reliable than a lighter and as simple as striking a match without the worry of old matches that are hard to strike and fail often. With the proper tinder, this would also serve well as a fire starter. Just a simple effective tool and I highly recommend this product if this is what your looking for.

Look, if you want the functionality of the name brand version (you know who I’m talking about) at a quarter of the price, get these. The machining on the body is great and the ferrocium rods work well. All the function and super cheap, just hit add to cart you won’t regret it.

Works well and was very easy to use
