The Coghlan’s Magnesium Fire Starter is a legendary all-in-one survival tool designed to ensure you can start a fire even when your kindling is damp or the weather is unforgiving. By combining a solid magnesium fuel source with a built-in sparking rod, this tool provides a high-intensity ignition point that burns at an incredible 2,982°C (5,400°F). Compact enough to fit in a pocket or survival tin, it is a "must-have" for any serious emergency kit or wilderness excursion.

Features

  • Dual-Action Design: Features a solid magnesium bar that serves as a highly flammable fuel source and an embedded sparking insert for immediate ignition.

  • High-Intensity Burn: Once ignited, magnesium shavings burn with extreme heat, making it possible to catch damp tinder or kindling that a regular match would fail to light.

  • Long-Lasting Capacity: One block provides enough material to produce shavings for hundreds of fires, offering long-term reliability for years of use.

  • All-Weather Reliability: The tool is waterproof and non-combustible in its solid form, ensuring it remains functional after being submerged or exposed to extreme temperatures.

  • Integrated Scraper: Includes a serrated metal blade (or aluminum scraper tool) specifically designed to shave off magnesium and strike the sparking rod.

  • Emergency Versatility: Works at any altitude and in any weather condition, making it a favourite for hikers, backpackers, and survivalists worldwide.
