Micro SparkWheel Emergency Fire Starter

Spark wheel works as advertised, comes with spare flints. It ignites dry cotton balls and cotton balls soaked in candle wax easily. The spare flints are slightly smaller in diameter than Zippo flints and flints out of a bic lighter but all work fine. I think that it is a great addition to any camping/hiking bag.

Small, highly durable unit, body constructed from low corrosion brass, dependable time tested design.Very similar to what i used as a scout; not a fan of the tube (highly breakable) two problems: needs a shrink tubing sleeve to store the spare flints & a split ring to put it on a lanyard, or you'll lose it I keep one in each of my civil disaster kits & frequently one on my person; modified as above.

The product works as advertised but its size can cause some issue if wearing gloves or hands are slick. a safety pin or means to pin it to your gear would be a great addition but its still well worth the cost.
