Firesteel ...on steroids!!!

[bert333]

Once upon a time I was quite content with my wee horn handled firesteel......until I discovered these...
wooohoooo Pyromaniac's dreams! incredible performance just does not do it justice!

Those magnesium globules fired up my birch bark in micro seconds in the pouring rain.
It's a big 'un!!

12.5cm long ( or 5"!) and 8mm( or half an inch!) diameter!! weighing in at 100 grams of sheer sparky power!

 

[bushwacker bob]

Half an inch is about 12mm.

 

[bert333]

I never use inches -
and have remeasured it for those in hampshire
so stand corrected at 125mm long and diameter of almost 12mm

Which model is yours? Did you get stung by HM Customs?

 

[malente]

"Stand back everyone, Dad's going to light the fire"... Whoomph!

Cheers,

I had just allocated £45 to buy a CD/DVD drive for my netbook, and now I find these... OK so I COULD buy the little one, but just knowing there is something called the Beast that is 12" and could create that much sparks I won't be able to sleep.
I mentioned it to 'er indoors and she reckons I would lose it in 6 months, but will still end up buying one anyway. She is probably right
