great flint, eh light
by Calvin (4 out of 5 stars)
October 7, 2014

The fire starter is awesome and the metal piece that comes with it works perfectly. It takes a bit of skill so stupid people won't be able to make it work. The only thing that makes it not a 5 start is the light is kinda crappy and can easily malfunction.

Great Gift for Husband or Father
by CrisT (4 out of 5 stars)
July 13, 2010

This was a gift to my husband for our anniversary. He's into survival stuff so I thought the flashlight/fire starter combo was great. It's a great size that works as the key chain or small enough that you can throw it in the glove box and pull it out when needed. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to the actual key ring that is attached. It's very small and very cheap - I would not put my keys on it. However, we just took a heavier key ring from an old key chain and swapped it out so no biggie. The husband loved it and thought it was a great gift/gadget so I'm happy.

you can't make butter with a toothpick

I bought 5 different fire starter kits to test out with my son. This starter was the most difficult to use. The flint is too short to generate much of a spark and we were not able to get a fire started. It's a nice flashlight though.

Slpro Key ring
by Hank (3 out of 5 stars)

Great idea but there is no striker to make a spark. I even tried my keys and it barely did anything. I added part of a hacksaw blade to my key chain and it works well. The led is really bright for its size. If it included a striker I would rate it 5 stars. Great to have a fire starter and led with you at all times.

Best part of the SLPB2 Tactical Knife
by JF (5 out of 5 stars)
January 5, 2012

I used to own the SLPB2 Tactical Knife, which had this item in the plastic holder on the back. I got the clip caught in my car door one day and ripped it off, and lost the knife shortly there after. No loss there, the knife was junk.

However, I'm replacing this part because it was very handy.
1. The flashlight is super bright for the size. It takes four little button batteries, which cost about $12 to replace altogether. I had just replaced them after about 11 months of occasional use, so not too bad there, though it stinks that I had just replaced them before I lost the knife. I only had problems turning on the light when the batteries got weak. After replacing them, one small twist and it came on every time.
2. The fire starter is cake to use if you know what you're doing. The primary thing is you have to have a sharp metal edge to scrape with, and you need to scrape hard, not strike it or try to scrape fast. I roughed up the spine of my knife with a bench grinder to give me that sharp, unpolished edge to scrape with. Worked like a champ after that. Sent a cotton ball into a burst of flame in one scrape.
3. The unit is held in with an O-ring, not a magnet. Not sure what that other reviewer was talking about there, but in the 11 months I had my knife, the flashlight/fire starter *never* fell out of the little plastic holder. It's in there snug.

Poor Quality
by Limester (1 out of 5 stars)
January 5, 2011

Don't buy this. The mechanism to turn the light on never worked properly from the 1st day we bought it. Also, the magnetic feature is really poor. Within 1 week the light wasn't working at all and a week after that we'd lost the thing all together because, due to a weak magnet, it fell out of the holder. Don't buy this product...a waste of money.

DOA
by MikelB (3 out of 5 stars)

Just wanted to say that I have one of their knives and wanted this to switch the firestarter with the magnet that came with the knife. The flashlight did not work at all. The batteries were dead as a doornail. I switched the batteries that I had in the knife, and the light worked fine. So, the batteries are definitly dead. Great. Now I have to get in touch with them about it and maybe get new batteries or send the whole thing back. More trouble than its worth if u ask me. Oh and I did test the firestarter and got a fire after about 20 strikes. But now the firesteel is used and probably will effect the return.

Update: I did contact the company and was told that I would be sent new batteries immediately. I did receive them in a couple days, also an extra set was sent and both sets work perfectly.

Good for EDC
by Sandra Essary (4 out of 5 stars)
July 30, 2012

Great for your EDC kit - never have to worry about getting a fire in an emergency. The ferro rod is adequate for an EDC, but there are better ferro rods out there.

Have had some trouble with two things:
1) The little flashlight is touchy & has to sometimes be finagled to get the light to come on.
2) A couple of times the ferro rod part has somehow come out of the holder during normal daily use of my keys. I've been lucky to find the rod, but do be careful that the rod is in the holder securely. It's a good idea to check it periodically so it doesn't loosen up and fall out.
