FireROD Refill Kits

Our fire starting tools utilize a proprietary alloy of rare earth metals called ferrocerium.  Some of these metals include Iron, Cerium and Magnesium.  When a ferrocerium rod is rapidly scraped, the friction created ignites the shavings producing molten globulars of burning metal.  It is these long-burning molten globulars of metal that make a ferrocerium fire starter so effective at catching other materials afire. HOW TO REPLACE: To replace an old rod, simply unscrew the rod and screw in the new rod.  Ensure the rod is a snug fit into the rod holder.   STANDARD LENGTH This fireROD™ refill kit provides a 2.4" long threaded replacement rod and one extra o-ring.  EXTRA LONG LENGTH This fireROD™ refill kit provides a 3.1" long threaded replacement rod and one extra o-ring. This length is useful for larger knife sheaths.  TIPS: An optional drop of blue or purple loctite will help retain the rod if it becomes loose.  FEATURES:  5/16" Ferrocerium rod works when wet  Up to 10,000 fire-st
