What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Good strike and decent striker. Works well in all weather and the pack will last you ages for lighting fires.
Cons
Poor quality. Ended up using hacksaw blade fragments to try and get sparks. They just don't function well, my guess is it has a very low cerium content.
Highlights

Price
Cost was very cheap but will do the job very well

Not what they’re supposed to be for but oh well lol and due to their short length they’re not the easiest thing to hold against the road

They do have a protective layer on the outside which hinders performance a bit the first few times but this quickly wears off
