## Description

desertcart.com : EXOTAC - polySTRIKER XL Ferrocerium Fire Starter with Snap-in Striker for Emergency Campfires and Hiking Survival Supplies (Black/Black) : Camping And Hiking Equipment : Sports & Outdoors

Review: A ++ Excellent design, compact, rugged, throws showers of sparks - Pros: I love this thing, great design, storing the striker in the handle was brilliant! This makes storing the XL a snap. Also the striker is in the shape of an "I" beam so you have multiple striking surfaces which is awesome! The handle on the XL is very comfortable to use and very rugged. The rod seems to be attached to the handle quite well, I haven't seen any movement at all (unlike cheaper rods). This thing throws showers of sparks, although it took me a few minutes to get the right angle. I think anyone could light a fire quite easily with this rod. All in all a very well designed, rugged and effective ferro rod. Cons: I could wish that the handle was a little shorter and the rod a little longer. Also the overall length of the XL is too long to fit in most sheath pouches. And because the rod is only 2 inches long it may not fit securely in kydex ferro rod holders. However, it fits great on my Spec-Ops basic modular sheath, I wove the rod into the molle webbing and it's secured in place.
Review: Great product - Out of the box the unit as a whole has a quality feel to it even the plastic handle looks and feels quality, you have to see it to understand. That said I have been practicing with it lots around the house and yard to see what lights best. Any true tinder (cotton ball, twine, alcohol wipes ect.) lights right away one or two strikes. More damp stuff takes more work and prep but its the same with a zippo. The lanyard could be longer but not a big deal still workable, rode is thick and strong and handles all the over pressure I give it. I've learned to not use as much pressure and it works the same. it's light and the handy orange color makes it easy to find if you drop it. Just practice with it and it should serve you well, I'm going to buy a few more for some other kits and they should last a very long time. I've used cheaper flints and you definitely can tell the difference in handling and confidence it gives you, not a last ditch I hope this works or it doesn't break feel.

*by R***R on March 16, 2015*

This Ferro rod is amazing! I did a lot of research before buying it and saw a few impressive videos on you-tube. The real test was when I took it to an REI Wilderness class this month. The instructors asked if anyone had a fire starter on them. I brought out mine and told him I wanted to try it out. By the end of the class everyone tried it, started a fire quickly, and wanted one. Once you take a few strikes and get some of the black coating off, the sparks fly. The experienced instructors said they had never seen a rod send sparks flying so far. We ended up giving the instructors ours and sending the link out to everyone. Couple this rod with some tender or cotton balls and Vaseline and you'll have a fire in mere strikes.
