Tools and Hardware Reviews of Emergency Fire Starter

Customer Review: Decent fire starter
Summary: 3 Stars

Scraping the magnesium off is very tedious. My son and I scraped some onto some dry leaves for probably 10 minutes and only got a tiny, 2 second flame out of the magnesium because it doesn't seem to come off very well.

The chain holding the scraper is also too short. My son broke it after about 10 minutes. He put a longer chain on it (hey, THAT's where his ceiling fan chain went!!) and that was better because it allowed him to get a better stroke on the magnesium. He found that using cotton balls and the striker was a much more efficient means of starting a fire. He simply couldn't get one going with the little magnesium that he could get scraped off.

Customer Review: Different item recieved
Summary: 3 Stars

Not sure if it was a mistake or not, but I received a flint and steel without a magnesium bar.

I was told that I shouldn't give a one star review if I was sent the wrong product so I'm upping this to three stars.

Customer Review: Emergency Fire Starter
Summary: 4 Stars

This was ordered for my grandson, who is studying and into survival training(hence the book) and this fire starter. He does some camping. He has this in his emergency kit with 1st aid, etc. He and his Dad have tried this, and it was a little slow but they kept working on it. He is pleased to have it. It arrived in good condition and a little ahead of promised time. Barb
P.S. bought though Amazon,, like most of the things I get. They have not disappointed me yet.
