Exotac NanoSTRIKER XL

Too much effort needed with the small (very small) striker, can't wedge it into palm of hand so your thumb takes all the 'ache'! Disappointed for the MONEY. Sparks hit and miss ...still looking.!

Nice compact fero rod great as an EDC item or even as a little back up in a small kit or in a pack.

I bought Exotac NanoSTRIKER XL in Gunmetal, and I carry it every day as it is so small it just slips into my jeans pocket next to my Swiss Army Knife. The feeling of having a reliable source of ignition on my person is very reassuring. I take it into the woods with me every time and it hasn't failed me yet. Its construction is second to none which is reflected in the price. But if your looking for a water tight firesteel that will last for years look no further.

I've wanted one of these for a while and eventually got round to getting one. Currently camping in Wales and it is cold. Lit fires many different ways from flint stone and steel, tin can, lens, bowdrill, firedrill, flint and steel. This is a nice and tidy fire striker for EDC, it looks great, feels well made and small enough for attaching to keys and forgetting about. Used this today, cold hands, wind blowing. Got dried weed stems, the hollow kind dock leaves I think and some jute out my pocket. Fluffed jute up, undid rod bit and screwed in cap, undid striker and struck once onto the jute. There weren't even any sparks, just flames. Lit that easily and fast that it almost caught me off guard, put my prepared kindling on and raging fire before you knew it. Not too small to use, excellent item. Bought spare rod too just in case. Nicely presented in box too.

Fantastic piece of kit and worth every penny. Will be very useful up the woods. Easy to use and produces some serious sparks! And of course the usual excellent service from HH. Wish all dealers were as good!

Got this in the normal V quick delivery from HH, and as is normal for a male played with it.Now got burnt carpet and a sliced finger from a miss strike.Can't praise this enough,small but mighty.Yes it is waterproof and ican say blood proof as well,BEWARE OF THE STRIKER it's WICKED.

I expected this to be twice the size it is due to the price. Nice design but it really is small.

So far, I had the Light my Fire "FireSteel", which I liked until I received the NanoStriker XL. Man, we're not talking about sparks anymore, we're talking about "ignited flying sparks" that still remain (slightly) burning when they hit the ground. To put it this way: this thing is AMAZING. Forget about firesteels and get this one. You'll never go back. PROS: Small, very small. Light, very light. Small but holds well in your hand. Great...I mean FANTASTIC sparks. The ferro rod is replaceable. CONS: Let's face it a bit expensive but you get what you pay for ! ;-)
