Features

  • All-in-one tool combines a durable stainless-steel ferrocerium rod, a built-in striker, and an extendable bellows
  • These tools equip you for both the spark and the airflow a fire needs
  • Simply scrape the rod to generate sparks, then extend the bellows and direct air at the base of your tinder or fuel to accelerate ignition of even damp or stubborn wood
  • Compact yet effective, this unit stows to just 5.9 in. (15.2 cm), yet extends to over 18 in. (46.4 cm) for safe, controlled operation
  • Whether you're building a campfire, a stove flame or an emergency fire in the backcountry, this tool gives you reliable performance and smart design
  • Rugged stainless-steel construction resists the rigors of outdoors use
  • Integrated ferrocerium rod is good for thousands of strikes; rod and attached striker spark up to ~5,000 °F (2,760 °C) to reliably ignite tinder
  • Extendable bellows safely channels oxygen to the base of the fire, avoiding face-in-smoke posture
  • Ultralightweight at only 1.8 oz. (53 g)
  • Convenient clip for attachment to gear, a pack or a belt
  • Ideal to booster airflow for wet or hard-to-ignite fuel
