Greadio Emergency Survival Magnesium Fire Starter 6-in-1 Tool with 15000 Strikes for Camping, Hiking and Outdoors.

Worked great, just took it camping last weekend and was able to get a fire started pretty quick. Also great for opening my beers!

Works every time ! Great item. In case you didn’t know, you have to scrape past the “Coating”, before it starts to spark.

They're not kidding about the need to scrape off the black coating on the rod before use! Without doing that you get no spark whatsoever, and that process takes a few minutes. I ended up using sand paper to get the last of it off, and that final removal made a big difference. That said, while it sparks fairly nicely, I don't see it as producing what can be called a huge shower of sparks. It's worth noting that while the bits of magnesium you scrape off the rod to help start the fire are very small, those very small specks are all that's needed. It's still not magic, but that makes it all the more satisfying when you do get the fire going - without it being TOO difficult!

I had no problems using it to turn on two campfires in less than two minutes. Make sure you scrape enough shavings first before lighting spark

Just have for emergency purposes. I cant get the darn thing to work but I'm sure If I ever need it I'll figure it out.

Works great! Was easy to use, even for someone who never used one before, will definitely buy again

I received and tried to use several times with multiple people just in case of user error but could not get a spark. Its also heavy and rather large - I thought it would be half the size.

This rod and striker makes huge sparks. Make sure you scrape the black coating off first. The handle is a little cumbersome to do it shape and size, but not so bad that you can’t get a good grip.
