I love this firestarter. It really does the job each and every time!
Pros
- Thick, easy to grab and use handles
- If you angle it right (takes a little practice) it will consistently throw a big shower of sparks
- Waterproof tinder storage for cotton balls
Cons
- Lanyard is too short to carry around your neck.
- It also takes a little practice to get it "just right" but it is well worth it!
Overall I think this is a great product and I am quite happy with my purchase!!
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $14.95

I tested it against two other striker type Strikers and then got rid of it.
Didn't bother taking it on even one camp trip.
