The product name speaks for itself, but I had doubts about its effectiveness. However, it turned out that I am pleasantly surprised. It fits well in the hand, and its size makes it comfortable to use, which smaller models lack. With one use, it generates a lot of sparks.

In my opinion, this is currently the best fire starter available on the market. I could end my review here, but it's really worth paying this price, because with good tinder it lights instantly, and the number of sparks is truly surprising.
-
Encouraged by reviews from the internet and YouTube, I decided to make the purchase, although I wasn't completely convinced that this was truly the "best fire starter." After trying it at home, I have to admit it really generates a lot of sparks. At the first opportunity, I will test it while lighting a campfire in the field. An additional plus is that it's a product from a Polish brand. The fire starter is now part of my fire essentials kit, which I always keep in my backpack.
-
This fire starter is highly rated by people involved in forestry. In my opinion, if you use it correctly, it doesn't differ much from products like LMF. However, it's quite sturdy, and you can tell you're paying for quality. I'm satisfied with the purchase.
-
In six months of regular use, the product has never let me down. The sparks fly very well, and even someone with no experience can easily start a fire with it. The paracord length is sufficient, unless someone has exceptionally high demands. I definitely recommend it!
-
I believe, like many others in the survival and bushcraft community, that this is currently the best fire starter available on the market. A particular advantage is the striker – it has two sharp notches and generates plenty of sparks. The rod itself also looks great. Its large diameter and length are huge advantages. Of course, the price is quite high, but a fire starter is not a product you buy often, and the Za-Pas model will really last a long time.
-
This is one of the best, if not the best, fire starters on the market – solid, comfortable to use, and the larger size only makes it easier to handle. In my opinion, it should be in every EDC kit.
-
The Polish product is truly a solid choice. The fire starter generates a strong spark, the scraper is excellently made and has two sharp edges. The thick rod and comfortable handles make using the set very comfortable. In my opinion, it's currently the best fire starter on the market. The price might not be the lowest, but you're buying it for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend it!
-
I bought this as a replacement after losing my Wildo fire starter. After my first attempt at starting a fire, I can say that if I had to choose, I would simply pick the one that costs less at the moment.
-
It creates great sparks and is really impressive. It definitely outperforms regular Chinese versions. The price is a bit high, but it is probably worth it. An extra plus for the choice of colors. I'm deducting one star just for the cost.
-
Durable fire starter with a wide, long rod and a convenient striker – great quality. Additionally, I'm glad that it comes from a Polish manufacturer.
-
The Za-Pas Mig-Mag fire starter is solid and reliable. It produces a lot of sparks even in tough conditions and is easy to use. It works perfectly during survival situations, camping, or field trips.
-
This is a solid and reliable piece of equipment that works great in the field. Its robust construction and the large number of sparks it generates make this fire starter one of the best available in Poland. If you need a proven tool for lighting a fire, it's definitely worth investing in. I recommend it.
-
I use the Za-Pas fire starter and I'm very satisfied. It produces strong sparks so it's easy to start a fire even in tougher conditions. It's small in size, durable, and convenient to carry – a great choice for camping and trips.
-
Excellent and sturdy fire starter, additionally made in Poland, and costs as much as Chinese competition. I believe it offers the best price-to-quality ratio. Good because it's local!
