About Tactical Pack of Eight (8) 5/16" DIY Ferrocerium (Ferro) Rods Flint Fire Starter Magnesium Tool Kit
Overall Feedback:
93% positive
94% appreciated its rugged durability, but 6% found it prone to rust
I found it a bit tougher to use than a different brand I had bought, but I was still able to start a fire, which is what matters.
Once the black coating is removed, the rods work okay.
Forging with 4.4% magnesium content is dramatic but unproductive.
I cannot recommend the product as it is made of a much harder material than I was led to believe.
93% found it easy to use in the dark, while 7% struggled with the mechanism
It is easy to attach to a keychain by drilling a hole.
I highly recommend the firesteel.
Some people have trouble starting a fire with these.
92% praised for its reliable ignition, though 8% experienced issues in windy conditions
I noticed that the spark is huge and even burns after dropping it on the ground.
The sparks thrown by the fire starter are not the best.
93% praised for its water-resistant design, though 7% experienced issues in heavy rain
I was able to start a fire with the two rods I tested in a couple of minutes, although some people had difficulty starting a fire with these.
