UST MagBar Fire Starter UST1156919

The UST MagBar Fire Starter is built for serious field use, where you need sparks that land and stay lit. This isn’t a novelty fire tool—this is a practical ferrocerium rod designed to produce consistent, high-temperature sparks in tough conditions. Whether you’re starting a fire for warmth, cooking, or signaling, the MagBar gives you a reliable way to get a flame going when other methods fail. It’s the kind of tool that earns its place in a pack because it works when you need it most.

The MagBar’s ferro rod is engineered to deliver a strong, steady stream of sparks with each scrape. The handle is designed for a secure grip, even when your hands are wet or cold, and the compact form makes it easy to carry in a survival kit or pack pocket. The rod is built to withstand repeated use, so you can rely on it trip after trip. You don’t want a fire starter that wears down after a few uses—this one’s made to last and keep performing.

The design is simple, rugged, and effective. The rod itself is large enough to provide plenty of spark material, and the included striker is built to give you a clean, strong scrape. That matters when you’re working with small tinder or trying to get a flame going in wind or damp conditions. The MagBar gives you a dependable tool that makes the difference between a frustrating fire-starting attempt and a successful ignition.

If you want a fire starter that’s straightforward, durable, and built for real outdoor use, the UST MagBar Fire Starter is a solid choice. It’s a practical tool that fits in any pack and performs when the situation calls for it.
