The compact sized is nice for carrying but difficult for me to use. Nice packaging and nice product. Don't be a fool, buy these tools.

My arm is hurting from trying to get it to light either way
Price
For me being prepared for anything and for the price you cant beat it
I feel like i got a good deal
Quite simply this ferrocerium fire starter does what its supposed to and you get two for the price of one
For the price i didnt have high expectations but i was pleasantly surprised
Shipping
Came right on time for our camping trip and used to teach my 4 year old how to start fire from scratch
Packaging/appearance
I packed this with waterproof matches and a tin full of mg shavings
I usually kept it in a ziploc bag to at least contain any spills but it really wasnt preferable
Competitiveness
Easy to ignite than other brands even brands that sell magnesium powderflakes solely
Ferro rod seem to be glued but unlike the other brands of the same layout it is solid
