I've had every other type of mechanical assist fire starter made, then I found Blastmatch. Small, compact, simple bulletproof construction for the price, and the incomparable "single hand" operation make it the one to have, no contest! Throw in a trioxane pellet and your fires seem to light themselves. Too easy!! Now I have a ton of these and I've given them to all my kids to replace the old 2 handed magnesium strip based units. And no, unfortunately, I received no free items nor was I financially compensated in any way for this review, they are just the best!

Very impressed with the unit generally. The Flint certainly burns longer and hotter than any other I have tried. I found that the Flint rod really needs to be pushed on a firm base. This allows the striker to perform to its full potential as a reasonable amount of force appears to be required to get a good ignition spark. My only concern is the Flint holder inside the handle is not really robust enough to handle a lot of vigorous strikes. Overall, certainly an effective easy to use unit.

This item is made of thin flimsy plastic. It broke the first time I used it trying it out on a paper plate in my kitchen and I had to glue the flint back in to the base. It's a great concept but so poorly made I don't expect it to last long. Cheap Chinese construction.

Not as easy to operate. Cleaned the rod with sandpaper.Still hard to get a good set of sparkes. Hard to hold down the tap holding the steel. Maybe with a lot more practice, but the 2 piece method works for me . Two hands is not that big of a deal.
