10 PCS Fire Starter Rod Magnesium Rod - Ferrocerium Flint Premium Lighter 8x0.8cm - Glow in The Dark Survival Tool Kit for Outdoor Camping

I bought these to help teach our local youth group some fire starting skills. I had each boy tie a snake knot lanyard out of paracord and they hooked the metal scraper to the lanyard before tying an overhand knot. They worked really well. The boys were able to get their own fires started with some advice and guidance from the leaders. These are big compared to the dinky little one I had as a boy scout. They will last a long time and be good for many fires. This pack of 10 was cheap compared to an individual one with a lanyard and scraper. Easy to use and effective at starting fires!

I bought these to put together fire kits for a class I was teaching. They put out better sparks than I was expecting and would buy them again!

Worked well! I burned my house down with one of these! J/K. They work, a bit to small for my hands but in a pinch it's better than a wish. I used them as part of a fire starting kit I gave out as gifts. Of course I tested them before I gave them out as gifts. They worked however it took me several tries before getting ignition. I'm most familiar with magnesium starting rods (some will understand). If you have a good striker and some patience these will work in a pinch. If you're a serious fire bug "camper, hiker, etc." you'll probably be better off spending your money on a larger ferro rod. If you're going to buy these for a bugout bag that's fine. Keep a couple out to practice with so when (if) the time comes when you truly need to use it, you'll have the experience.

Works great it's exactly what I needed to refill my ferro rods They came with minor scratches and dings on them, but I assume that's because they weren't wrapped in some form of padding

Fire starting, quality

Foremost, these strike (scrape) well to throw sparks. Next, the size is very good for "EDC" of a reasonably sized (8cmx0.8cm, or about 3"x0.3") Ferrocerium rod with a lanyard hole for a split-ring or thin cord. Lastly, the value is very good, at about $1.50 each ($15/10pcs) at the turn of 2025. Share with your backpacking buddies.

It is a good product but it is smaller then I thought.

Works great and very affordable. Highly recommend.

Good spark for the value. Once you get the paint off it works very well. The Paint protects it so just give it a few strikes to clear it off. I have purchased 5 packages for some projects to sell, never failed to work. good product. if you are having trouble getting sparks try a different edge, some work better than others but the rods are good.

Exactly the size I was looking for. Purchased as backup for the white river ursus cub sheath and it fits like a glove. Throws good sparks. I added a paracord lanyard to secure it to the sheath, also makes a good handle to grab when in use.

Ils sont très gros et fonctionnel
