Description
The GobSpark™ Ranger FireSteel by FireSteel.com adds a unique double lanyard hole handle to the popular Ranger FireSteel.
With a handle that was designed and is injection-molded (manufactured) right here in the United States, the GobSpark Ranger sports a 1/4 inch diameter x 2-1/2 inch long FireSteel that is made from the same world-class, great-gobs-of-sparks-producing formula that our other FireSteel.com FireSteel are famous for.
The design of the small handle allows for a better grip when scraping sparks from your GobSpark Ranger FireSteel. Your GobSpark Ranger FireSteel will come pre-strung with a FireSteel Super Scraper on a lanyard made from 24-inches of 550-paracord. (Color of the lanyard will vary.)
We came up with the idea of the GobSpark Ranger FireSteel kit to meet the demand for a cost effective way for our customers to obtain a world-class FireSteel and Super Scraper all-in-one kit. A favorite of scouting organizations as well as hikers and backpackers who have to watch every ounce that goes into their packs.
The 1/4 inch diameter rod is large enough to produce many hundreds of fires. It is super easy to hold on to your GobSpark Ranger Firesteel while scraping off sparks due to the way we designed for the lanyard to be strung through the two holes in the handle. You'll just have to get one to experience the ease with which such a compact piece of kit creates great gobs of sparks.
At this price point you can't go wrong ordering several GobSpark Ranger kits to scatter amongst your gear, vehicle's glove compartment, tool kits, fishing kits, etc. to ensure you can always start a fire when you need one.

Primary fire starter
The Armageddon and Palm Scraper are my most reliable and portable fire starter tool. I gave the first one I had to my son and just bought five to replace my original set and extras for relatives and friends.

Great product/ Great place to buy from
I recently bought 4. They work great! So easy the five year old can do it. With supervision of course. Shipping was fast! Price was right! I'm a firesteel customer for life.

Light, Durable, Great EDC
Generates strong sparks. Much easier to light my Pocket Rocket stove with less strikes (saving gas) than other competing brands. I like to pair with the small, magnesium rod with a hole in order to always have tinder handy in less favorable conditions. The little grip makes it easier to use the full length of rod. Durable, light weight, lots of strikes and easy to use. Keep one in your pocket!

Amazing Firesteel!!!
I don't know if these guys have bottled up the Devil's flatulence and added to the fire steel formula or what, but these things put out an amazing amount of sparks. Far better than any other ferro rod I have tried. I feel like I can count my life on this thing. Great Job!!

Awesome.
I purchased 2 of these with 2 of the 3/8" magnesium rods with lanyard hole drilled as a camping/hiking/bushcraft gift for my father and I. The shipping was extremely fast. I ordered on a Friday morning and saw a package in my mailbox on Monday. I've used mine for everything from lighting my BBQ pit to campfires just to see what it can do. I'll definitely be buying more from here in the near future.

Excellent, lightweight and reliable firestarter
This is an excellent, lightweight, and reliable tool for starting fires. Fire is easily created with one stroke using the right tinder to catch the generous and high temperature sparks generated by the GobSpark and SuperScraper. Cotton balls, shredded paper, dry grass, dry wood shavings, and clothes lint all ignite on the first strike. I have also used the bare FireSteel rods with a camping knife which also works but typically requires several strikes. This setup with the small handle attached to the Ranger GobSpark and SuperScraper is great for a small, lightweight and reliable fire source. This tool is on the "essentials" list for my backpack trips.
