Bear Grylls 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.

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!

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.

A spent Bic lighter does the same thing

Great price, perfect size for a firestarting kit..

Nice 2nd or 3rd fire starting option to have in your bag when in the outdoors or backcountry. Can be used to light a stove or a fire if needed. Easy to use, lightweight,

Out of all of my fire starters. This has been my all-time favorite fire starter! do yourself a favor and get it!
