Do not rely solely on this product, because using it alone is quite difficult – the scraper and ferro rod are of average quality. However, as a magnesium block for shaving chips and as support for other fire starters, it works well, and the scraper and rod can be treated as a backup.
Magnesium flint for quickly starting a fire outdoors. Thanks to its compact dimensions, it fits easily in a pants or jacket pocket. With its help, you can light, for example, a gas stove, a camping stove, or a campfire, which is a source of heat and makes it possible to prepare a meal away from home.
The whole set consists of a magnesium block connected to a flint and a spark-striking plate. After scraping magnesium shavings from the block using the striker, the knife spine, or any other tool with a sharp edge, you then strike sparks onto the previously collected shavings until they ignite. One motion allows sparks with a temperature of 3000 deg C to be produced, which, when falling onto previously prepared tinder, will create a flame even during severe frost or heavy rain.
The flint is equipped with a ball chain that allows it to be attached to keys or a backpack.

Honestly, this fire starter is just so-so. I bought it out of curiosity, and after testing, I definitely stick with za-pas, which simply works almost every time. With this gadget, you can get something done, but you need lots of time and patience.
-
For me, the rod is too small, it sparks nicely, but it's not comfortable to use. The small size is a plus. As an emergency source to start a fire, it will do its job.

Sensational. Nicely made, sparks really well. A very good choice for emergencies. I put it in my EDC pouch and just carry it in my backpack. For this price, take it. Don't ask.
-
A good emergency fire source for outdoor trips. Efficiently lights a fire in emergency situations when other sources have run out. Very reasonable price to quality ratio.

A good basic firestarter. It does its job and lights a fire without any problems. A good option as an emergency source of fire on a trip. At this price, I recommend trying it out.
