Arcadia Gear Fat Boy
Your search for the best ferro rod has ended: the Arcadia Gear Fat Boy Ferro Rod is the only ferrocerium rod you will ever need to quickly and safely light fires in any situation for many years.
At 3/4-inch wide by 5 1/2 inches long with a weight of approximately 11 ounces, this extra large ferro rod outsizes the competition and normal 1/2-inch diameter rods.
Yet, it isn’t unwieldy. The Fat Boy is designed with an easy-to-grip wooden handle that fits securely in the palm of your hand. It also features a braided wrist strap so that you don’t need to worry about dropping it even if it slips free of your hand for some reason.
How Effective Is the Fat Boy?
Matches, when they work, gives you a mere single flame per match. They also usually deteriorate and fail to work when exposed to moisture.
Most liquid, fuel-based lighters light up approximately 3,000 times before they eventually run out of fuel. In both cases, you often need to repeatedly attempt to create a flame.
A ferro rod gives you a reliable, lasting source for hot sparks every single time you use it. Standard ferro rods are only rated for up to 12,000 strikes. The Fat Boy Ferro Rod lasts more than double that count at an astounding 35,000+ strikes.
You never need to rely again on a subpar fire-starting tool when you want to start a fire in a camping, barbecue, survival or other setting. The magnesium content of the rod also guarantees that the Fat Boy Ferro Rod provides a high number of incredibly hot sparks no matter the temperature or weather when you use it.
The flame from a match typically fails to reach even 1,500 degrees F. Similarly, flames from most lighters only reach approximately 3,500 to 4,000 degrees F. Every spark from the Fat Boy Ferro Rod is a scorching 5,500 degrees F.
