Review: Unique Item, Handy, Works well. - I always have a Swiss army knife in my pocket. I have a few. Really don't have much use for a tiny screwdriver but as I spent a lot of time camping and in the outdoors. A method to start fire is more valuable. Seem to throw a decent spark. Tried a tiny bit of tinder and seems to work. A bit expensive for what it is but it is a specialty item .
Review: FIREANT 🔥🐜 - Purchased for my VICTORINOX CAMPER: read the directions carefully and was able to install both the FIRE ANT 🔥🐜 and HELIX 🧬 TINDER into the corkscrew without damage to either. I then unscrewed 🔩 both as a test and then reattached. This too was done successfully. The design fits my CAMPER perfectly and locks securely into place. the Corkscrew 🍾 folds back into place as designed. Seems to be a quality product and I will update this review in 6️⃣ months or so. By that time I will have tested the fire starting capabilities. As to Value for the Money 💰, this is one of those items that is priceless if used successfully in an emergency 🚨 situation. Please see photo for clarification and I hope 🤞this review is helpful. ☮️ UPDATE: Tried my hand at creating a flame with the FIREANT, HELIX and WOOD SAW from my VICTORINOX CAMPER - indoors, in my kitchen, and under stress free conditions. Overall, it was a bit more difficult 😕 than I expected. The Ferrocerium Rod has a blue 🔵 coating on it and this needed to be shaved off before the sparks 🎇 appeared. The HELIX 🧬 is covered in wax 🕯️with some fibrous material beneath. After approximately 10 🔟 minutes I got the HELIX to ignite but only after adding more carefully shredded ✂️ pieces and then situating them in very close proximity to the saw 🪚. I then transferred the lit material to the candle 🕯️ in my BUSHCRAFT ALUMINUM CAN CANDLEHOLDER. My recommendation is to practice this technique before an exigent 🚨 situation arises. If the weather was bad or I was sick, tired, wet, injured or anxious this would have been a really difficult task. I still think that this is an excellent addition to my CAMPER SAK. Please see the photos for clarification as well as condition of the FIREANT after use. I hope this review is useful. ☮️
