Description of Wisemen Trading Survival Starter Ferrocerium

Length of the rod is: 6"(15.3cm). Diameter of the rod is approx 1/2"(12.7mm). The new U shaped Striker is great because it is the same size and snugly fits around the ferro rod making it compact, easy to carry and get in tight spaces, yet it is large so it allows you to have a nice grip when striking the rod even in cold weather or at weird angles. The striker also has a bottle opener. Extra large ferro rod throws a lot of sparks even wet and windy conditions. The striker has a scraper at the end of it that allows you to scrape tinder, or extra magnesium you have on hand. The striker is tube shaped so it fits around the ferrocerium rod. Place the striker horizontal to the ferro rod and slide down to strike.

Not Worth the Money

As a result of my tests, I determined that this survival starter is unreliable and difficult to ignite .While it may be lightweight and compact, its lack of consistency in producing sparks makes it unsuitable for emergency situations. For the price, there are much better options on the market..

Pros
  • Lightweight and compact
Cons
  • Unreliable and difficult to ignite

Throws sparks like crazy

Much better than I expected. It really does spark. The punch handle is a big bonus. It's big enough to really grab it and hit the bar. The striker is in the shape of a "U", it hits the beat and leaves no burrs. Slowly hit the bar down with the "U" and he'll shoot out a spark like crazy. To be honest I don't see any difference in this ferro rod compared to others other than a cheaper price, less than $9 for me and a better than average striker. Most don't have an included striker at all.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
