Review on XINISI Emergency Magnesium Weatherproof Flint Fire Starter: Waterproof Aluminum Alloy with Replaceable Magnesium Rod and Stainless Steel Fire Tube by Jim Booth

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly as advertised!

This device has many modifications, most of which are more expensive (sometimes two or three times more expensive). I took a risk and it was worth it! The item arrived exactly as described (including bellows, mini split key ring, two spare o-rings and a spare iron rod) and was very easy to use. There is a strong spark and instructions on how to sharpen the striker (which I liked). Judging by first impressions and first hits, it seems pretty solid. Ferrorods are threaded for assembly into the device as well as for the possibility of replacement. The bars themselves are a little smaller than I would like, but I knew I would buy them. This was intended to be a redundant item, not a replacement for my primary fire source. Definitely recommend this product to those in the market.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Minor repairability
