I carry it around in my purse because I am insane
No argument my 6 inch fero rod is better, but this fits comfortably in my pocket 24/7.

Produces a hot, if slightly smaller spark that will catch tinder on fire. My drier lint quivers in fear at the sight of it. :)
The 'lanyard' is more to keep you from losing one of the two halfs than wearing it around your neck. But it's long enough to completely run the striker down the rod. But carefully! The rod doesn't look/feel like it will hold up to rough handling. But then it's for emergencies, not a weekend in the woods.

A great alternative to the StrikeForce

I have several fire starters.
I have a StrikeForce and a couple of BlastMatches. While the BlastMatches are a neat concept, they can be somewhat tricky if you don't have a solid surface to push against, and the construction would seem more fragile than the StrikeForce (in a recent episode of "Naked and Afraid", the contestants were provided with a BlastMatch, which failed them on the second day).
I have much more confidence in the StrikeForce, but it is a little heavier that I care for.
The SparkForce is a great alternative to the StrikeForce, much lighter in weight, but still has very solid construction and very easy to produce a stream of hot sparks. For a long-term survival situation, the StrikeForce would be my first choice, but for an emergency backup for backpacking trips, you can't go wrong with the SparkForce, which has become a permanent fixture in my backpack. Also, love the orange color which is much easier to find in my pack than my black StrikeForce.

This product is worth its weight in gold in a survial situation and small kit.

I bought this at Walmart also figuring what the hell 7 bucks I will give it a try. It is excellent. The whole thing weighs about 24 grams which is nothing. The striker is not crap and gets a great spark off the rod it comes with. It also gets a great spark off other bigger ferro rods I have which came with useless strikers. This thing is great just because it is so small and will ignite a dry plain cotton ball with one spark. You should carry some cotton balls with you for emergency situations. Come one how much do cotton balls weigh? Go to the gym more if you have to. A cotton ball is a guaranteed fire for 1 minute even without a little Vaseline. Just a small touch of Vaseline makes cotton balls burn hotter and longer (2 minutes). I tried the product on dry wadded grass at that also ignited immediately. BTW be careful of the cheap Chinese knock off strikers and magnesium bars. They don't spark or ignite they are a complete waste of money. They are worse than useless because they can give you a false since of security. Always test a product at home before you really need it.
Best Flint and Steel, Buy it.

The media could not be loaded. I have recently purchased several flint rods to see which I like best. This one is my favorite. it slides together to protect the flint, and the combo includes the steel so that you don't have to use a knife or another item to create a spark. This thing creates excellent spark wet or dry. If it is submersed in water, all you have to do is blow it off with your mouth to semi dry the flint and you are back in business. I use Jute Twine dipped in parafin wax as a tinder, and it makes a nice flame that lasts for about a minute, which should be plenty of time to get a fire going. The jute twine dipped in wax is also waterproof. These items can be picked up at a hobby store. I Have uploaded a video of this.
