Claire M Morris: Thinner than a credit card and do a great job of focusing sunlight to start a fire. I’ve used them with several dozen high school students and they have no problems with making them work.

Sandhills Complete Security: A very good thing to have in any camping or survival pack. Could be used to help read fine print or use to help start a fire when needed.

Dan S.: I doubt i will use it to light fires like I did when I was a child, but it is possible. Now that my eyes are older it is nice to have a few magnifiers around for extra small print or tiny slivers or threading a tiny needle or burning ants. OK I don't burn ants anymore. It is great for outdoor activities or household or travel. The only item I wasn't sure about giving a 5 stars for is durability because I haven't had it long term and they are very light weight, but I will give it the benefit of the doubt because they are so inexpensive and convenient and the customer service has been superb.
I have ordered several things from 5col Survival Supply in the past. So far it is 100% satisfaction on the items and the service. This time they went above and beyond on the customer service.

Amazon Customer: I liked the idea of yet another way to start a fire, so was excited to receive mine. The individual plastic case is good to protect it. I just couldn't get it to start a flame. Not even a little smoking burn spot. I tried using a slightly larger fresnel lens bookmark in the same conditions and it worked instantly. I wonder if the surface scoring is deep enough to create the effect?
