i s like the sparklite no doubt about that but personally think the rangerricks fire starter is better. it is about the same when it comes to durability and when it comes to sparks ranger ricks produces many more and the sparks are much hotter than the sparlite's the other thing i likes about ranger ricks is that it has a compartment on the bottom foe tinder i was able to fit 1 sparklite tinder tab in the compartment.
