Flint and Steel Fire Starter Rod, Stainless Steel Striker, Camping, Hiking & Emergency Use
This flint and steel fire starter is a black metal rod with a stainless steel striker, sold as one piece. It works without electricity or batteries, so it suits camping, hiking, scout outings, emergency preparedness and patio BBQ lighting. It comes in four sizes, from 3.1 in to 5.9 in long.
The rod is made of metal and is paired with a stainless steel striker, so you can throw sparks onto dry tinder without fuel, a battery or a charging cable. It is a plain, mechanical tool with no moving parts to break. The supplier does not state a spark count or any waterproof rating.
To use it, hold the rod near a small pile of dry tinder and scrape the striker along it to throw sparks. Pick the size that fits your hand and your pack: 5.9 in, 5 in, 3.9 in or 3.1 in. This is not a lighter, and no lighter device is included.
Features
- Nothing to charge or refill: It needs no battery, fuel or power source, so it is ready whenever you reach for it.
- Four sizes to choose from: A longer rod gives you more to hold, and a shorter one is easier to tuck into a pocket or small kit.
- Simple metal build: A metal rod with a stainless steel striker is a straightforward design with little that can fail.
- One tool for several uses: The same rod works for the campsite, the trail, a scout pack, an emergency kit or the backyard BBQ.
