I hate to say it, but that style of Ferro rod is garbage. That handle is going to come off of there. Worse case is if you’re trying to work with it and the rod flies off and you can’t find it because it’s black and dark out. Dollar tree usually carries the medium BIC lighters which would fit nicely. The Harbor Freight “fire starter” is a block of magnesium with a rod on the side. It’s better than the one with the handle on the sense that you can scrape shavings off the block as a flash tinder
Put some superglue around the base of the ferro rod and you will be fine. Add orange paracord in case you drop it. You will be able to find it. That ferro rod will throw a spark just as well as the big expensive ones.
Nice kit! Good job
Thank you and thanks for watching.
