After watching the video a couple times, I did manage to get a decent fire going in my backyard. The striker saw that comes with it seems pretty cheap. The saw cant shave for squat and I found it easier to use the flat side. Just put the flat side at a 45 degree angle and the saw facing out (not towards you) use your thumb to apply force and slide fowards. I got my shavings this way. There's a very helpful video showing how to make starting a fire easier by shaving onto duct tape. Supposedly the adhesive on the duct tape it flammable and can act as a catalyst to make it burn quicker. Also because that its sticky, your shavings will not fly away in windy conditions (pretty smart). I have not tried this because I do not have duct tape around the house. I recommend learning how to use one and test out the one you buy before you go hiking, campin, etc, so when in a dire situation, you can be prepared. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent product for the price. *by L***A on December 27, 2012* I don't think it would light as many fires as it claims because you are suppose to shave off a pile about the size of a dime(according to several videos I watched utube). I would try to carry a secondary back up like a pile of steel wool & a Battery(9V works great). I just learned this one. I don't think it hurts to have one of these on your Keychain or in your car-Emergency kit. I think you could get a couple hundred fires if you used more paper or something flammable close to your shaved pile. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Takes a little practice but works great *by A***R on March 12, 2014* I ordered two of these, gave one to my son who is getting into backpacking, and kept one at home to try for use in our survival bags. If you are expecting to start a fire as quickly as with a lighter you will be unsatisfied with this product. It takes a little work and patience. You have to experiment a little if you've never used one of these before. We carry cotton balls soaked with vaseline and they light up almost immediately, add tinder and you've got a fire going in a short time. Trying to light tinder by itself is a longer process but works just fine if you aren't of the attitude that "I have to have it right now". Will be getting more of these for all of our packs. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1481190-egear-survival-essentials-magnesium-fire-starter](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1481190-egear-survival-essentials-magnesium-fire-starter) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
