You're telling me that this has a cheese grater? I am sold! I need this for all of my tactical and outdoor cheese grating needs!
Frostbite sets in (still flicking the flint) :)
You are a patient man! That is a product I won’t buy but it does have all the right ideas just not well executed
yeah being they are Zippo I get why they used the spark wheel and flint but its just not going to throw hot enough sparks to light natural tinder easily...someone mentioned cotton balls which would be fine but it isnt meant to be used with the tool, its suppose to work on its own with what you find in the wild, it would be ok if you find yourself lost in a cotton field though lol...
cutlerylover i saw another comment that said you were spinning the wheel the wrong way
@@nealbaron3384 Just like on a zippo one way produces sparks the other way barely throws any sparks and has more resistance, this was used the proper direction the other way would be even worse...
I love the camera attached to you type video. It's awesome
I enjoyed the outdoor first person type of video. Hope to see more of your outdoor adventures
I have spark wheel fire starters that use tinder tabs (and Zippo sells the same thing) but the tabs have to be fluffed up to catch the sparks. There are military fire starters that are identical to mine. I think these flint wheels are really designed for different tinder, not for particles of wood. I’m surprised it ignited the waxed cords. Pack some cotton balls or tinder tabs and it will work on them. You can also light an alcohol stove with a spark wheel.
You should have tested your throwing arm and seen how far you could chunk it into the pond.
A SAK, e.g. Walker, and a medium size ferro rod are about the same size, a bit more expensive ... but so much more usefull.
👍Thanks for showing what this tool can (not) do... but no thanks 😊!
I'm seriously dumbfounded how awful this tool is..like zippo shit the bed on this one.
I haven't seen your videos in over 4 years. I'm so happy to see you're still here. I just randomly remembered watching you smoke a cigar and tell a story and here I am.
On the plus side, I could use that for lemon zest or fresh garlic.
lol yeah might be better in the kitchen...
Zippo kitchen survival tool. 🤣😂🤣
Or on your rough heels for a bugout pedicure.
Had Great Hopes for this but after watching how difficult it was for you to do this in your backyard, I'll never buy this product. Thanks for sharing, you saved more money. Thank you 👍
I got mine yesterday from a store. The knife has a sharp point, and all the screws are tight. It's a lot easier to light the fire cord if you fray the ends instead of pulling it apart and trying to light the middle of the red part.
hey i dont know if you ever noticed but there is a little curly line with an arrow under the striker wheel (its even in your video) you open it all the way and use your thumb or your index finger to strike it in the Opposite direction you where doing it to Throw sparks and ignite things it makes me less confident in your other reviews that you made such a simple error. it has plenty of support and works well if you just flip the tool around in your hand the side with the angle is the spot the sparks come from
I don’t understand why zippo cheaper out so much on this tool. I have some of their other outdoor fire starters and they are awesome, but this one they cheaper out on. If it was decent quality and a decent design, I might have picked one up.
honestly, that knife looks like something cheap from china. those are just stamped metal pieces and not very well machined. so likely zippo is leasing its name out to foreign interests.
And that is the reason why an ordinary lighter is an essential survival tool
That flint lighter ain't for wood dust it is to ignite a fuel source on wood.
Finally someone who knows what they're talking about. Clearly he wasn't using it right. He would have got a better result trying to light the fluffy stuff underneath. He obviously was not a Boy Scout.
@@Jmon0421 a full sized Ferro rod would have been able to light the shavings from the tool, so it’s not unreasonable to expect those shavings to take a spark particularly considering that with the way this thing is marketed it’s kinda implied that you can use it to ignite the shavings you make with it. Self contained fire starter.
Seems to me when I look at wheel symbol you were turning the wheel the wrong way?
That would make sense as it would be a lot less likely to try and fold like it did when he was using it.
he was using it correctly when we was actually using it in the field i believe, with the cheese grater in his palm
am i crazy or did you spin the striking wheal the wrong way? there is an arrow on the side pointing the other way. os is just some stupid scribble?
You use the flint to light your zippo then start the fire
That was hilarious... the tool or the presentation I don't know what was funnier. no mechanical ability whatsoever I think that was the best. handling the mouse bedding without a concern lol
one thing you need to try is "grinding" some of the flint off into a pile, then spark that. kinda like a fire stick. try it on a table or something first so you can see what's happening. Slowly turn the wheel close to the surface you need to spark up. after a bit, you will notice a pile of really light black powder forming. now, the moment you hit that with a spark, it will catch and a few of the pieces will burn for a significantly longer time than a normal liter strike. it will obviously eat away at the flint faster than normal, but hey, it's replaceable.
yes Im sure that would help a bit, but still inferior to most others fire starting systems
Throw some air moisture, wind and rain at that thing, and no way I'm relying on it.....
I own one, if you start with dry,fine tinder it lights every time. Don't try for curls, try for as fine a grate as posoble.
I have the S.O.S./Morse code zippo with a butane insert in my suvival firebag, i know its works, shouldnt dry out, has the extra function, and is just place cool.
Having a morse code chart on it would be cool, I like that idea. I haven’t had good luck with butane inserts, though. I prefer using old school lighter fluid in mine, particularly cause it works better than butane in cold weather, which I get a lot of where I live.
If you just want the zippo its at smkw
@@weirdmusicmixmaster thanks for the heads up
I'm pretty redundant when it comes to fire making, but I'd have to pass on that thing. Thanks for the video and saving me a few bucks.
Mine just takes 3-4 sparks to light up lol never struggled this much with surefire. Check other videos, the spart is more than enough to light things up. It's a pretty underrated tool tbh, but it has it's cult following in non purist community. Also despite not looking like a premium tool it really holds up after a year of use still looks and works like new. Just need to clean and lube it every once in a while.
The flint wheel can be locked in place by that stainless steel kinda hanger or keychain loop
Strong point: The wood shaver. WEak Point: The striker wheel doesn't throw sparks very well. Honestly it seems like Zippo just took the wheel and flint from their lighters and put it on a knife tool.
Does the flint wheel part have a hook to connect on the loop?
Yes ,you have a very keen eye...even I thought of the same thing " what does a bottle opener notch have a purpose on a plastic body"...looks like it was supposed to lock and going by the other comments in the section saying that the wheel should be rotated the opposite way or against the arrow indicated ...also Zippo being such an old and famous company will not flaw on any of their outdoor products and also the fire cord is given for a purpose , why not use it ,it caught fire easily even by rotating the wheel in the wrong direction.
makes me happy i carry a lighter , but great video I enjoyed it
great honest review thanks
such a waste of resources in the design and manufacture of this. Some poor fool will buy one and keep it in a kit thinking they're covered. You're a tolerant tester 😊
You put your tinder and the bottom, once it is lit you add kindling then fuel. building your fire before it is lit usually won't work, especially in windy or wet situations. Boy Scouts 101 fire building merit badge.
No the way he built his fire is a top down which makes it self feeding
The tinder maker is pretty awesome at least. A better spark would get it going.
The flint wheel works good on cotton balls or jute cord
Survival pro tip - if you’re going to bother to bring something to start fires you might as well bring something that makes flames not sparks
So people think it's easy to start a fire without a lighter? Try this thing!
The flint is for a standard lighter, the sparks aren't as hot as ferro rod sparks, which is not good. The grater is a good idea, i've seen the little box versions and they do collect a lot of wood shavings. It's very 'meh'
The flint is a ferro rod. Same materials, just a lot less of it. It’s not that the sparks are not as hot, it’s that there are so many less than them, and potentially that they’re smaller due to the way it’s being scraped. It greatly reduces the odds that anything will hit and have it catch.
@@evanf1443 You're right, but scrape off some unburned bits onto the palm of your hand from both and then light them, you will feel the difference. I think It's because the sparks are larger from a ferro rod and glow longer that they can reach a higher temp. You even notice a difference between some ferro rods, some have pissy little sparks, others are like Roman candles.
Lite the birds nest scout!
Wood is too dense to get started with a small piece of lighter flint. The flint does not generate enough heat. You are better of lighting the mouse nest under the wood flakes to sustain the heat until it catches.
Thank God I watched this before buying it lol
I'm surprised how well that grater worked... But with the cord, would it have been better to scrape it with the knife blade? To get the fibers out, and shave off some wax (hindsight, and all).
And another question on the cord, you added the white strands, but not the outer black sleeve. Are those both standard paracord were it's... nylon? instead of something like cotton (melt vs burn); not to say something about the fumes, just asking out of curiosity
Is best used marches...
Use a handkerchief to catch all the shavings so you don't loose them all.
Bring plenty of Flint's Jeff. LOL 😂
A ferro rod is so much easier lol. They should have just included one.
A Bic lighter is even easier
Nice property my guy 👌👌
Is this HD?
yes it will be in 4k once processed wait a few more minutes...
Looks like you’re spinning the wheel the wrong way. That being said I still think this tool is pretty bad.
It's a small fire prep tool the flint will only ignite cotton or fibers or a material with a accelerant fuel source it is not a fero rod not even close to ignition high temp sparks a fero rod puts out
It is a ferro rod, just a much smaller one. It’s a question of quantity, not quality.
I feel like a bic with a lanyard on a leatherman multi tool would be a better way to go 😂 ..
But it’s more of a gimmick than anything. To look cool 😎 rather than just use a lighter or matches 😂
Try to use this thing after it rains or with heavy humidity 😂 good luck 🍀
A small 8oz water bottle full of gasoline and a book of matches never fails. That's what everyone should have with them as an emergency fire starter. Lol
Next day
I never really get these fire starter tools when a pack of disposable lighters is so cheap and they last forever.
Right, but i would still pack a secondary option like a ferro rod, in case the lighter breaks or gets lost
the tool seems decent at preparing a fire, but that "fire wheel" is completely useless!
Big hands
Now that's a survival tool ! I'm gonna buy me two of them. 👾👾👾👾👾
seems the wheel is useless
🤔
Seems like a gimmic....but if you used "fat wood" or what we in the south call "fat lighter"....it would work way better.
I have one. I've had it for a while and just using the video as reference, you made the fire incorrectly. Cannot believe you started and used all of the wax line. Char cloth. Not to start an argument, but you used the tinder on top of the wood, then there was the editing.
No. It's not a bow saw, nor a complete tool kit.
It works fine for me. I do use the grater but mostly the char cloth and it is hot enough for the cloth and dry plant material.
First you need to build a bird nest, blow and get it started then apply it to the camp fire. Presto-easy fire!
Mine works fine. I think you should spend more time learning to make fire using flint and steel.
This is not meant to be a camp Bowie or bow saw. It will and does make fire.
If you're not happy with it, that's your business, but a poor carpenter blames his tools.
Learn to make a fire without a lighter. That is your biggest impediment to using this device.
Your correct. If you can't build a fire, then carrying bic lighters and fire starters are for you and NOT this tool
That thing sucks lol just use a empty lighter
Looka Iffy
Your spinning the spark wheel the wrong way…. It has a directional arrow on what way to spin it…. Your I.a. Is….?
"It works or we fix ir for free"
Wow, this thing is a joke. Imagine what you could carry for that size and weight. A proper ferro rod & a wood grater or a lighter and x backup lighters...
360p. Bruv?
4k in a few minutes still processing...it was just uploaded....
@@cutlerylover Just teasing you a bit. 8) Good on ya. Thanks for the upload.
a bic lighter in a waterproof container is all you need
stupid idea! useless product!. grater does exactly what a knife can do. you don't need both. choose one. bottle opener is useless, not needed on a tool that makes fire. saw blade is bad. lose the knife if you wanna go grater route, lose the bottle opener and screw driver (why the f would you have a screwdriver on a fire tool???) and invest that money into a better and longer saw and fire steel. you need only 3 things to make fire relatively fast with optimal ratio between success rate and weight of the equipment: saw, knife and fire steel.
well its not that good lol
This product appears to be shit and also garbage. To be fair to zippo i believe cutlery lover is more of a collector of knives and tools than a user so in the hands of a true woodsman it may be more effective. Based on this video i gotta agree with the other comments that this thang is fuggin useless
that has no use at doing anything has it a saw that small why you can snap branches with your hands the in built cheese grater what in the world were they thinking and the bit that had me on my arse laughing the lighter wheel like oh we make lighters lets put a lighter wheel on a multi tool
The grater is a good idea for making tinder that can catch a spark particularly in wet conditions when your only real chance is to use the dry inside of wood anyway, and plenty of reliable emergency fire starters use a flint wheel like that. It’s just that a flint wheel is better suited to carrying tinder with you (most of the aforementioned fire starters come with water tight containers for that very purpose) while a full sized ferro rod would be better suited to lighting the heavier tinder that would be produced with the wood shaving tool. They’re both good tools, they’re just not meant to go together this way.
super inútil......🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
