### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good size, easy to get lots of sparks!
*by R***N on August 23, 2025*

I bought this when teaching a youth group how to start a fire without matches or lighters. It went amazing, the Ferro rod it big and gives plenty of striking surface to make big sparks. We build a little stick cabin and out a cotton ball smeared with petroleum jelly in the middle. A couple sparks from this thing and you have a nice fire going. I use it a lot, that’s why it looks dirty and beat up in the pictures. I would highly reccomend this.
