## Description

desertcart.com: Swiss Safe 5-in-1 Magnesium Ferro Rod Fire Starter Survival Tool - Flint & Steel Striker, Compass, Paracord & Whistle - Emergency Kit for Backpacking, Camping, Hiking - All-Weather - Red, 2-Pack : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Strikes me as a perfectly fine device - Neat little compass, and a great spark starter. These things are camping essentials. Strikes fine, allegedly up to 16,000 strikes which seems lofty but like most of these things, if I start one or two crucial fires with it, it will all be worth it. Tested it outside on a small patch of dry wood shavings and while you need to get your technique down it shoots a fair amount of sparks. The whistle is a little underpowered but you never know how life saving it might be out in the woods.
Review: let there be fire. - The unit i bought sends out a shower of sparks. I got this for my emergency evacuation kit. I live in southern california and I try to be prepared to flee a hurry. It also is a great camping tool, what good are cooking and campfires without a spark?. Just keep in mind that they have a coating that you must scratch off. I bought this one because of the reviews.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: made in china?**
A: The back of the box says "Designed in the USA for Swiss Safe" and the bottom of the box says "Made in China".

**Q: Do the compasses actually work?**
A: I compared them to my Garmin watch and phone app and they seem to be somewhat accurate. I think they will get you in the general direction you will need to go. That being said, I bought them for the starter, which works great, not for the compass.

**Q: Is the compass accurate?**
A: Pretty accurate. You know, as accurate as a tiny compass can be. Compass and fire starter work as advertised. The flint and steel put off a real nice spark. I recommend this product.

**Q: Is it small enough to fit in a altoids can?**
A: No. It’s to large to fit in an Altoona can.  Good question thou.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Shoe Fits.....
*by D***. on July 27, 2019*

It works well. Softer ferro rod. You can strike it with ease and the striker is nice and stiff ensuring positive strikes every time. Compass tells you NSEW but would be little hard to navigate but it works. Also one of the compasses had a bubble and the other did not. The whistles work but you have to really try to make them work. Lots of wind from the lungs. Glow in the dark was very nice as well. Didnt time the charge but good enough for me. Overall a good product. Only reason i did 4 stars was because the compass was ehhh....and the whistles i feel were not really needed. If they worked with ease and not so much breath then it wouldnt matter to me but i think that a small tinder compartment for a quick tab or cotton ball would be pretty cool. Food for thought. I would buy another pack of 2 for sure. Thank you Swiss Safe!
