A very good firestarter that generates a lot of sparks and is durable. The only thing missing is a scraper in the set, so you have to use a knife. I recommend this product — you just need to know how to use it.
Durable and small ferrocerium flint with a long life span of several thousand uses. With the help of the flint you can light, for example, a gas stove, a tourist stove or a campfire, which is a source of heat and allows you to prepare a meal away from home. It will be perfect not only for camping, but also for emergency situations.
A ferrocerium firelighter works by vigorously rubbing the firelighter rod against the sharp edge of a spark plug. This causes the cerium in the rod to oxidize and ignite. One movement of the flint produces sparks with a temperature of 3000°C, which, when they hit the prepared firelighter, create a flame even in freezing temperatures or heavy rain.
The firelighter is perfect for any camping trip. Thanks to its small size, it fits in a pocket or backpack.

No problem getting sparks. Its biggest advantage is the length of the fire starter, although not all of the surface is usable—the lanyard is positioned in a way that’s a bit annoying and actually shortens its usefulness (even after removing it, there’s a hole left).
-
Good firestarter, but keep in mind the large size. I've tested several other brands, and this one performs quite well. At this price, it's definitely worth buying. I recommend it.

I am disappointed with the Hultafors fire starter. It turned out to be very brittle during use. It fell from a small height onto a stone and broke at the mounting hole. This type of equipment should be more durable, especially for outdoor conditions. Unfortunately, Hultafors did not meet my expectations in terms of sturdiness and reliability. I do not recommend it to those looking for a durable and strong fire lighting tool.

This is a really good fire starter, it sparks exceptionally well. It has a thick and large rod. A cotton pad ignited immediately after one spark. I think it will work great in the field.
-
I needed a thick rod and Hultafors fully met my expectations. The previous one was much thinner and shorter, so I wasn't satisfied with it. I honestly recommend it.
-
A simple and solid firestarter, without unnecessary extras. It generates sparks very well and should last a long time. It's fairly large and fits comfortably in the hand. It does its job.
-
I bought this fire starter out of curiosity and I think it was a very good choice. Solid workmanship and attractive price. I personally tested it during a course.
-
I'm a beginner, and with this fire starter I lit a campfire without any trouble. It easily produces sparks that quickly ignite the material. Simple and sturdy tool.
-
I haven’t used this fire starter yet because I’m finishing another one, but the Hultaj piece seems big, heavy, and well made.
-
Great fire starter. Definitely recommend.
-
Fits perfectly in the hand and produces strong, energetic sparks. The mounting is universal and fits both a knife sheath and a belt.
-
Carefully made fire starter, from a renowned company.
-
Performs very well when used outdoors.
-
It produces a strong, intense spark.
