Fire pistons are a clever way to make fire, using extreme and quick compression of air to rapidly rise temperature inside the piston igniting a piece of tinder. This one is particularly nice, being compact and machine-tooled from high grade aluminum.
With a single push, tinder placed in the end of the piston is spontaneously ignited by the heat of compression, instantly becoming a glowing ember with no more effort than lighting a match. Literally, fire with air. The new FireStar features precision CNC manufacturing and state of the art compression fire starting technology!
