Micro Sparker Fire Starter 2 Pack - Easy to Use, One Handed, Ultralight, Rubber Grip, Compact

These are a bit bigger than the Spark Lite versions and have nice rubbery grips, hence much easier to use. These are still vastly smaller than just about any other fire maker, is a one-hand operation, frees other hand to cup or hold tender together. Cheap, tiny, convenient to use, and very effective; no wonder the military uses this style for their personal emergency kits.I switch to these when Spark Lite changed their sparking wheel to a more aggressive tooth, which made them toatally unuseable (they dug into the flint too much and jammed). Maybe Spark Lite changed manufacturers.

Very pleased can't wait to try it out

Smaller than my fingers. I tried to light a fire starter until my fingers were tired, nope. Maybe it would be useful for starting gas burners, not much else.

Small, compact, and lightweight—this fire starter has been a game-changer for me. I've started more fires with this than I ever have with my ferro rods! While I’m not a hardcore outdoorsman, I’m trying to get outside more, and let’s just say I may have gone overboard investing in ferro rods. But I digress.Having one of these in my pocket, along with some cotton balls coated in petroleum jelly, is a foolproof fire-starting combo. It’s incredibly easy to use, and I even tested it while wearing gloves. Although a bit more challenging, it still worked. The sparks are just the right temperature to ignite cotton balls. I also tried it with waxed jute twine—it works but takes a bit longer to catch.I’m not the biggest fan of Bear Grylls or the products under his brand, but I gave this one a shot and was genuinely impressed. Highly recommend it!

A spent Bic lighter does the same thing

They work as expected. I purchased these for a small survival kit build. I like the size and prefer these over ferro rods because of the one-handed operation. Plus they are cheaper than the Exotac ones, though not built as nice.

Okay. Spark is a bit weak. Bic lighter produces a better spark.

Quality and performance were great. Throws a good spark. Sleek appearance in a compact size that’s easy to store in a small kit. Great value for the price
