HOW TO USE IT 1. Fill with kerosene first. Hold the lighter with your left hand and unscrew the striker shaft. 2. Make sure you are holding the striker shaft at a 45-degree angle with the flint rod. 3. Slightly press and quickly slide the striker along the flint to the steel. Upward or downward is OK, please be careful not to hurt your finger. Tip: when you get your first fire steel, please make sure to thoroughly scrape off the black coating and then you'll start to notice that the sparks will get bigger and bigger as you expose the actual fire steel to the scraper. CAUTION Do not keep using the lighter if there is lighter fluid insufficient. If you see the flame is weak and the wick becomes difficult to be ignited, then you may need to refill it. When the wick is burned to black and become short, the wick can’t absorb enough fluid so it will be difficult to ignite. Please extend or change the wick by the steps as below. 1. Pull the steel scraper out by pliers. 2. Slowly pull the wick out, stop pulling if you think it’s long enough. Please directly change the wick if it’s too short to wrap the scraper. 3. Put the scraper back to the middle of the wick, and then lightly hammer it back to the pipe. 4. The exposed part of the wick should be at least half of the length of the exposed scraper.

You've gotta' have realistic expectations here.
Wick is lousy, thin hollow sheath. Switch it out to a Zippo type wick for vast improvement. Solid as a rock. Huge fluid reservoir. Undersized o-ring, really. Beef that up for confidence (both upper and bottom). Keep it sealed up and it's a forever emergency rig. Too hard to light for daily use. Several swipes, proper facing wick direction, all that. Sloshing fluid is likely or under saturated. If you think you're better than the next guy this will teach you humility. I use it on my Coughlan magnesium bar for a longer striker distance when I can, or fero-rod. It's worth it's cost as a final backup. You don't want it for novelty because it'll embarrass you. That's not what this is. It's a sturdy tool.

Good quality
Very durable and reliable. Strikes right as should if directions followed. Great handy thing to have around

Not worth it
I bought two of these as a gifts and neither one of them worked. They followed the instructions and the black coating came off the striker and it still didn’t light right away. My husband tried 23 times before he got it to finally light. Not worth the money and since the both now have kerosene in them we can’t return them.

Bullet Match
Easy to use once you get a feel for the striking motion. It's a little bigger than I expected it to be though.
