Tortoise Gear Helix Tinder for FireAnt and Firefly Fire Starters - Tinder for Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Corkscrew

Great for keeping on Swiss Army knife. Works great. Fits perfectly. I’ve carted it on my SAK for a while and it has lasted. Very durable. Somewhat expensive, but not totally unreasonable for limited market.

Great fire starters

Fits perfectly in the corkscrew. I got the Tactical Gray which according to what I've read is supposed to be more windproof. I tried one out, cut into quarters and it worked fine to start 4 fires. It's a great companion and fire starting component to the Firefly.

FOR ALL CORKSCREWS. VICTORINOX. LEATHERMAN. ECT.u won't be disappointed.JUST IF U USE THE HEATSHRINK WRAP TRICK ITLL JACK IT UP TURNING IT INTO JUST FUR N NOT FUR + WAX.SO U MAY NEED TO GO THROUGH 1 TO SIZE UR HEAT SHRINK WRAP. THEN ONCE ITS SIZED PUT IT ON A DIF PIECE THAT U DIDNT HOLD FIRE TO AN DENGGsssss🤙👍👈

These work well as do the other products from Tortoise Gear. A little pricey so use as an emergency backup and place shrink tube over the coil to keep it clean and safe from undesirable wear. I like .

This is one for the boy scout crowd. You know who you are. (Hikers, Backpackers, extreme campers, back country explorers, mountain bikers who like to go deep!)Most likely you will never need this, but if you do you will glad you brought it. You also need a flame source or a Ferro rod and striker (Swiss army knife has several good choices, and even some crazy modifications that work. Look up Felix Immler on You Tube). These are designed to fit into the corkscrew of your Swiss army knife, to be available for fire starting without kindling wood out in the wild. They are very effective in starting a small fire with which to build a larger campfire.Watch a YouTube video and then try it in your backyard fire pit before going out there!A very good but very niche product.

So small but so effective. Add the associated ferro rod and you've got a terrific addition to your Swiss Army knife. I'm a big fan.

The good: it probably starts a fire. The bad: the wax is messy and falling off, it’s too long to fit the mini screwdriver with it (should be 1/8” shorter), absolutely going to make a mess or fall apart in my pocket after a week of carrying. If you buy these, be prepared to cut it slightly shorter and wrap in shrink wrap or electrical tape to actually be able to carry it. Not a well designed product. Wouldn’t buy again.
