5.0 out of 5 stars Small, portable optical fire starter, July 15, 2011

I've been reading Cody Lundin's books and agree with his assessment that having multiple ways of starting a fire is key in a survival situation. This small, pocketable magnifying glass, assuming you have enough sun light, works well enough to start a fire. You can easily put it in your wallet, survival kit, or glove box and know you have a solid way to start fire in certain conditions. Also helps with reading your topo map.

Photo does not match what you purchase. I received a light up silver colored magnifying glass, which was NOT what is in the photo or even the name (MagniSlide) <--there was no sliding out of the sleeve. There was no sleeve at all.

The magnifier I received looked exactly the same as the advertised product image. Note that you cannot pull the lens out of the sleeve completely. Works great as a magnifier but the real reason why I got this was to have another way of creating fire which it does very well. I definitely recommend it as an addition to your survival kit.
