SURVIVE Permanent Match Metal, 2 Pack, Reusable Survival Fire Starter Lighter, Emergency Waterproof Keychain Striker Stick Kit

I bought this to use one and give the other as a present. I really like the look of it and it feels very sturdy and reliable. I like that it is waterproof and can be used for camping, hunting, fishing and overall survival. I used to carry a lighter is my pack but after a while the spinning wheel would stop working and the lighter would be useless. I love how I can always count on this producing a large healthy flame when i need it.

Great idea for the future

I ordered this for my boyfriend since he’s a huge fan of novelty items and he loves it. It works well, usually takes a few strikes to get a flame going but it’s great quality. The lighter fluid needed for it is very inexpensive. It’s aesthetically pleasing and kinda fun to use to light candles and stuff even if it’s unnecessary. However, I will warn you the flame is very large for such a tiny match, so be careful using it in small spaces or close to your face!

The seller reached out after reading my review and sent a replacement match stick which seems to have a more evenly-seated wick. Haven't had a chance to take it camping yet, but it worked like a charm lighting a recent backyard bonfire. Thank you!Got a 2 pack so I could gift one to my husband. One turned out to be reliable, the other not so much. Unfortunately, I took the (unknowningly) reliable one on a group car campout, where there were lots of other people and options if it failed. It didn't! It worked well, so I happily gave the other one to my husband to take on a kayaking wilderness campout with my teenage daughter. Unfortunately, the second one was unreliable, and they had no other people or other options along the river. Since returns are all or nothing, I guess I am stuck with the unreliable one. Paid for two; wish I got two that worked. I will update feedback if the seller makes it right.

Bought as a gift for my uncle, thought he could use it for camping. He gave me the second one to have for myself. Brought it to work, showed one of my mangers. Manger proceeded to play with it. Spilt some of the fluid on his hand and crotch. Still lit the firestarter, proceeded to catch his hand on fire and his crotch all while I stand in a corner freaking out. He puts out the fire and was completely okay. Every coworker than teases me for setting my manager on fire.I now have a great story to tell to my future employers, and a Firestarter I have no use for. But hey it works and it's still great. Moral of the story, don't let your manager play with fire after they spill lighter fluid on themselves.

Doesn’t light at all. Tried both and both don’t light. Wouldn’t you give it any stars but can’t process my review without at least checking one. If they had a negative star, I would’ve chosen that.

It was just what we needed.

The trick to getting these to work best is to trim the wick right away. They come a little rough and frayed sometimes. You want the striker to stick out above the wick just a touch so the copper wires don't accidentally interfere with contact between the striker and the ferro rod (striker surface). If you use name brand ZIPPO lighter fluid you'll have great luck with ignition. It's more volatile than normal lighter fluid and does not smell as much. It's very nice in those regards. The only downside is that it can evaporate more quickly. But ZIPPO fluid is cheap. I recommend these permanent matches. They are WONDERFUL. Especially if you do those little things to optimize their functionality.
