{"product_id":"fire-piston","title":"Fire Piston Fire Starter Set of 2, Zinc Alloy Survival Tool for Camping, Hiking \u0026 Backpacking","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis fire piston set gives you two zinc alloy fire starters in one order. A fire piston lights tinder by compressing air with a quick push of the plunger, so it needs no electricity, no battery and no fuel. It works as a piston fire igniter for camping, hiking, backpacking and as an emergency fire starter kit for your pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach piston is made of zinc alloy and comes in black. The set does not include a magnesium rod or flint, because the mechanism does not rely on sparks. That makes it a straightforward survival tool and a hands-on way to show students how heat from compressed air can start a fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou provide the tinder and use the piston by hand, so there is nothing to charge or replace. The supplier does not state dimensions or weight, so check the size if pack space matters to you. With two pistons in the set, you can keep one in your pack and one in an emergency kit, or give one away as a gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"yhd-acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks without power\u003c\/strong\u003e: there is no battery to go flat and no fuel to run out, so it is ready when you need it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo pistons per set\u003c\/strong\u003e: you can split them between a backpack and a home or car kit, or share one with a friend.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable metal build\u003c\/strong\u003e: the zinc alloy body feels solid in the hand and suits rough outdoor use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGood for learning\u003c\/strong\u003e: it shows how compressing air makes heat, which suits science education and curious kids with an adult present.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAn easy gift\u003c\/strong\u003e: it suits campers, hikers and anyone who likes practical outdoor gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"yhd-acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yhd-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eOperation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlace a small piece of tinder in the tip of the plunger, insert it into the barrel and push down sharply.
