Review: Difficult to use - The striker is not a good fit. They have sharp edges and are just way too small to be of any use. I have to wrap them in cloth to make them work a bit
Review: I wasn't going to do a review, but. - This was going to be a simple and short review. After seeing the number of reviews already done I would normally just skip it. How ever, there is so much mis-information, instructions and terminology I'm going to try. 1. The rods I received are not "magnesium" rods. They may have a little magnesium mixed in with the other minerals used in the Chinese factory which made them. The box indicates they were designed in the U.S. made in China. They seemed to have done a good job making mine. 2. My "Ferro" rods are what would fall into the "Hard" category as opposed to "Soft". Mine give off good sparks but not the longer burning sparks which result from a soft Ferro rod. This is because soft Ferro rods have more magnesium or other material which when scraped results in more material removed of longer burning material such as magnesium. The sparks given from rods I received are more akin to those of a steel chain dragged behind car. Lots of sparks which don't last long. Therefore, you can't scrape off any substantial material from the rods I received to use as an accelerant. I realize this is what instructions on the box and on desertcart tell to do. Perhaps the instructions were for other rods used in the past. I don't know. I do know you would have a real hard time scraping material off my two rods without generating a spark. If you did, I doubt there is enough constable materials to burn. This is one of the problems expressed by different reviews. 3. Many of the reviews were confusing to me. As you probably know there are products which a bar of solid magnesium sold with a Ferro rod. The rod is commonly attached to each other. The most common is a rectangular bar of magnesium with a small Ferro rod glued to the edge. The magnesium is sometimes in other shapes. If you have a soft Ferro rod or combination setup as above, the product instructions would work. 4. While the use of a Ferro cerium and striker may seem similar to "Flint &Steel", they are different. These are Ferro rods and not the tempered steel device used with a flint and steel set up. 5. The rods and striker I received worked fine for. I've tried them several times with different tinder. I would have preferred a soft composite but, as these are not my primary igniter I'm good with them. Nothing like a Bic. If they get wet, blow the water out. If it's really cold, keep them in a pocket against your body. You must practice in bad weather and situations to be competent with a Ferro rod. 6. I read questions about hanging these around your neck. Just remember that salty water such as perspiration will cause bare Ferro rods to rust. 7. I have some quesion about the 8 strand "Military Grade" lanyard but, not enough to cut it apart to see. 8. The little compass pointed North for me. As with most button compasses it has bubble. In this case a small one. Again, not my primary. 9. My whistles worked just fine. 10. Overall, I'm giving the muli+tool Ferro rods 4 stars and the instructions an F. Please excuse my mis-spelling.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: made in china?**
A: The back of the box says "Designed in the USA for Swiss Safe" and the bottom of the box says "Made in China".

**Q: Do the compasses actually work?**
A: I compared them to my Garmin watch and phone app and they seem to be somewhat accurate. I think they will get you in the general direction you will need to go. That being said, I bought them for the starter, which works great, not for the compass.

**Q: Is the compass accurate?**
A: Pretty accurate. You know, as accurate as a tiny compass can be. Compass and fire starter work as advertised. The flint and steel put off a real nice spark. I recommend this product.

**Q: Is it small enough to fit in a altoids can?**
A: No. It’s to large to fit in an Altoona can.  Good question thou.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems well made. Good value. Fire in 30 seconds when you get the hang of it.
*by W***S on 20 January 2020*

Works as expected. The compass is tiny, but OK for basic survival purposes. Same for the whistle, better than nothing and if you're lost in the woods this may help you get found again (carries further than a shout and saves your energy). The glow in the dark whistle and lanyard is a good idea if you drop it in the dark (but must be charged in the light so not much good if you've kept it in a dark place). I can see this as quite useful, your fire making tool is not something you want to lose. The main thing of course is the magnesium fire starter and sparking tool. Easy to use, just shave off a small pile of magnesium with the included saw blade over your tinder and strike some sparks until it ignites. Simple. You get two units which is a good value. UPDATE, got a chance to really try it out. Using regular cotton wool from an aspirin bottle as tinder, feathered it out and with 5 minutes of practice I could light the tinder with a few strokes. Did not really need a lot of magnesium scrapings, just enough to lightly coat the tinder with scrapings ( more needed if damp conditions). There is a sawblade edge and a burred edge on the scraper. The burred edge gave me the quickest lights.
