This can be described as a rather small and handy stick. It does exactly what it is supposed to. The faux wood handle looks nice and feels good in the hand. Bought it on sale for 18 €, for over 20 € you might want to consider alternative manufacturers.

Practical, not very heavy, and above all useful. I recommend this item. The package was delivered on time and well packaged. There are cheaper options, but watch some videos because this one gives good sparks.

It sparked well from the first use. It's exactly what I expected: a solid, thick rod that should last a long time, and the handle is very comfortable.
