Amazon Customer: Very difficult to use by itself. Works perfectly with 3-5 strong strikes over a cotton ball dipped in vasailine. Prepare cotton balls in advance of an emergency or camping. Place the vaseline dipped cotton ball in the middle of a small pile of thread-like loose bark, small dry leaves and small dry twigs. Once these catch add larger dry materials to build the fire.

CappyCappy: I purchased this fire starter for an upcoming trip to the Canadian Rockies, where I'll be doing some camping and hiking. Once you strike it a few times and get passed the initial coating, its sparks perfectly. The unit is light and compact and can easily fit in your pocket... However, the scrapper does have "teeth" to it, while not very prominent, there is potential to possibly snag your pocket lining or irritate through thin clothing. I'd recommend putting this in a small cloth bag if you were to carry it on your person if doing a lot of hiking or climbing. If you're carrying a backpack, it can easily stow away in a small pocket. If I were to base my rating on the fire starter alone, it would absolutely get 5 stars easy.
The other features are a compass and whistle. The compass is aesthetically pleasing and that's the best I can say about it. Do not rely on it, sub par unfortunately. The whistle is a smidge better, it works but takes some effort and doesn't have the volume/pitch that I would really like in an emergency situation. It'll get your dog's attention, though. Its not taking up any additional room, so its really just a bonus.
To recap: Fire starter is...
