Product Description

The Exotac nanoSTRIKER XL™ delivers dependable fire-starting capability in a compact, self-contained ignition tool designed for everyday carry and field kits. Precision-machined from anodized 6061 aluminum, it houses a replaceable ferrocerium rod and tungsten carbide striker within a sealed screw-together body that protects the components when not in use.

Built for reliability in adverse conditions, the ferrocerium rod produces high-temperature sparks capable of igniting tinder even in wet, cold, or windy environments. The enlarged striker handle improves grip and control, making it easier to generate sparks when wearing gloves or when operating with cold hands.

Its compact form allows the nanoSTRIKER XL™ to ride comfortably in a pocket, pouch, survival kit, or keychain setup without loose components.
