Diameter Waterproof Ferro Rod Striker, Heavy-Duty Flammable Repair Tape, and Tinder Capsule Compartment with Included quickLIGHT Tabs : Sports & Outdoors Review: Well made and purpose built - Well constructed, sturdy.

Review: Best bday - Bought as a bday present 🎁 he loves it ## Features - YOUR KNIFE IS YOUR STRIKER: Use the spine of your knife to strike the fireROD XL. Many bushcrafting knives do not round over the edges of the spine leaving them sharp for use as a striking tool. - TINDER STORAGE: Remove the top cap to reveal a large compartment that holds four quickLIGHT tabs (included) or tinder of your choice. - HEAVY-DUTY REPAIR TAPE: The approx. 12 in. (4.7 cm) of repair tape can be used for patching holes, as an improvised bandage, creating bush-crafting tools, or even as tinder (yes, it’s flammable!) - 1/2 in. FERROCERIUM ROD: The included Ferro rod is not only waterproof, but replaceable as well. Simply unthread it from the body of the fireROD XL and thread in a replacement rod. - ANODIZED ALUMINUM BODY: The fireROD XL is CNC machined, in house from USA high-grade 6061 aluminum then anodized for protection in one of four signature Exotac colors. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BN362GGB | | Best Sellers Rank | #146,155 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #219 in Camping Emergency Fire Starters | | Brand Name | Exotac | | Color | Olive Drab | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (56) | | Date First Available | September 1, 2021 | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 6.1 x 1.06 x 1.06 inches | | Manufacturer | Exotac | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Weight | 0.12 Kilograms | | Part Number | 002030-OD | | Size | One Size | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | ## Images ![fireROD XL Ferrocerium Firestarter with Replaceable 1/2 in.

I anticipate it will prove useful for its intended purpose, as a tool to augment my knife system. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best bday *by B***N on October 10, 2025* Bought as a bday present 🎁 he loves it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well thought out and throws out nice sparks *by V***E on May 17, 2023* The fireROD XL is awesome it throws a nice shower of sparks and the o-ring sealed tinder box/handle is awesome and has room for a little bit more if you feel the need. If you wear it out you can order a replacement rod and not have to buy the whole thing again which is awesome. I would like to build one like it that holds a 1/2" magnesium rod so I kind of have a matching set. Even the paracord for the lanyard has a red wax coated tinder inside of it for more tinder options and the duck tape can be ripped into strips for tinder or used to patch a rip id give this firerod a 9/10 I think only thing I'd change is putting beads on the lanyard for use as ranger beads/pace counting. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/499460141-firerod-xl-ferrocerium-firestarter-with-replaceable-1-2-in-diameter](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/499460141-firerod-xl-ferrocerium-firestarter-with-replaceable-1-2-in-diameter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
