About Gerber Bear Grylls Fire Starter 31-000699
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
88% appreciated its rugged durability, but 12% found it prone to rust
I used the striking rod 50 times and was able to start a fire with a single strike, indicating the product's durability.
I was surprised at the poor quality of the product, considering I have used other products from the same brand and found them to be of good quality.
After 53 strikes, the magnesium rod fell out of the housing, indicating that this product may not be durable enough.
90% found it easy to use in the dark, while 10% struggled with the mechanism
This fire starter is designed for ease-of-use. Even if I have never used a starter before, it feels solid and sturdy and is very self-explanatory.
I find the product impossible to use and poorly made.
I found it difficult to use and struggled with the tinder included with just a small amount of wind.
88% praised for its reliable ignition, though 12% experienced issues in windy conditions
The ferrocerium rod worked well and sparked nicely when used with a knife blade, but the metal striker failed to produce any sparks.
