Better than a Zippo or Clipper at throwing a spark.
Excellent bit of kit for starting a fire. Has been compared to an empty Zippo which is an unfair comparison as the zippo only produces a spark approx 1/4 of the size of the nanospark. The zippo also has a guard around the area where the spark is produced which prevents it from sparking at tinder.
Also the nanospark is very light approx 1/3 the weight of a Zippo.
The fire starters provided with the nano work excellently and can be cut in half.
Overall very impressed with the quality of the nanospark and it is an excellent addition to our firestarting kit!
