## Questions & Answers

**Q: I bought one, couldn’t get it to spark at all. Bought a second one, got a few sparks, is there a trick?**
A: Yes, as mentioned the end of the striker works better for me. The trick I've found is to use a stroke just like you are lighting a wooden match off a box and flicking it off into the fire. A quick snap of the wrist works well to throw a spark once the coating is off.

**Q: The Amazon description says machined in USA, but the country of origin is listed as Canada. Where is this item made?**
A: Because it's likely the product was "transformed" in Canada.   If it were completely an American production, then for marketing purposes it would certainly be labeled as such.   Otherwise, why even mention Canada?

**Q: does anybody use this on their keychain?**
A: I believe it would work well on a Keychain.

**Q: Would a 4.5mm dog tag ball chain fit through the hole on this?**
A: No. The scratch could be annoying.

Well made.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great! My second one.
*by T***Y on December 5, 2024*

I bought the original Exotac NanoStriker 12 years ago and found no difficulty using it to ignite a variety of tinder. That earlier model was smaller, had a 3/16 inch diameter ferro-cerium rod. I carried it in my pocket every day and never had the rod corrode or give any problems due to the well designed O ring seals. I enjoyed lighting the tops of dandelions growing in our yard, great practice. The top flares up instantly when a spark hits it. The original rod has lasted 12 years and provided many hundreds of hot strikes. I've used it to light alcohol stoves. My hand is medium size, my dexterity is excellent, and I never had a problem getting excellent strong sparks from it. This original model has been replaced by the the nanoStriker XL after losing the old nanoStriker from a hole in my pocket a month ago. As the photo shows, the new nanoStriker XL is larger, uses a 1/4 inch diameter rod, yet is still small enough to carry in a pocket, pouch, bag, or small survival kit. Every bit the quality of the first striker (which I found today while walking my dog). Being larger the rod will last a lot longer than the original. As you can see from my 12 year old nanoStriker it has been carried in my pocket long enough to wear the anodizing off and the surface is now shiny aluminum. A favorite tinder I like to make by working a little petroleum jelly into a cotton ball, kneading it well until it makes a slightly greasy cotton wad. Just pluck an edge to expose some fibers and they will ignite at the smallest spark. The petroleum jelly keeps the cotton burning a while, long enough to get small twigs and grass/leaves or pine cone burning. I highly recommend the Exotac nanoStriker XL if you want a compact reliable fire striker and you have some dexterity to handle the small striker and enclosed carbide striking blade. If the rod gets wet, be sure to dry it off well and leave it uncovered until all moisture is gone. Closing up the rod with water will corrode the ferro-cerium rod and shorten its life.
