Review: Can be lost easily - Haven’t had to use the glass breaker part in a real life situation, just on empty bottles. It works, the whistle is nice and used to wrangle my nieces and nephews or play with them. It’s nice and sturdy, has a great feel. It is small and can be lost. Overall a nice addition to your EDC
Review: Small enough for EDC; gotta blow VERY forcefully to get whistle volume up. - First, it is indeed tiny BUT thats exactly what makes it great to have as EDC item. As it is a small volume whistle, one must blow forcefully to get good volume. This, a AAA flashlight, and a small neck knife make a great "Trinity" to have on at all times. Any larger and heavier just reduces chances on one having it available-I'd rather have a small glass breaker immediately when riding with others than a huge full sized one sitting unavailable to me in my vehicle.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: made in usa?**
A: No...indicated as “Made in China”.

**Q: This might be a dumb question but can the ferro rod be replaced or do have to rebuy this thing?**
A: I can't really ever understand or rationalize a reason to replace it. As a survival tool, it will last you a lifetime. If you want a ferro rod for starting fires all the time, you can pick those up easily off any website, including Amazon. This is for JIC, not every day use and you would never need to replace the rod as it would start enough fires to last a lifetime.

**Q: Is it a pen**
A: Lol,  no. It is a glass breaker, fire starter and whistle.  Wouldn't count on it to start a fire, unless you have something else to use with the magnesium rod, but the whistle works and hopefully it would break glass in an emergrncy

**Q: Is it waterproof?**
A: It does have o-ring seals

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small enough for EDC; gotta blow VERY forcefully to get whistle volume up.
*by A***. on October 12, 2023*

First, it is indeed tiny BUT thats exactly what makes it great to have as EDC item. As it is a small volume whistle, one must blow forcefully to get good volume. This, a AAA flashlight, and a small neck knife make a great "Trinity" to have on at all times. Any larger and heavier just reduces chances on one having it available-I'd rather have a small glass breaker immediately when riding with others than a huge full sized one sitting unavailable to me in my vehicle.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Cool, but...
*by A***S on March 17, 2025*

I am going to keep this and put it in a go-bag, but I am not convinced it is entirely useful. The whistle is very high pitched and will not carry all that far and definitely not as loud as other emergency whistles I have blown. Also, it is a metal whistle so unsuited for very cold weather, unless you want it stuck to your lips. The ferro rod is pretty small, and so is the stash of tinder, but I think I could definitely start a fire with this. The tinder, a small piece of steel wool, is good for one use. The rod will last for a bunch of fires, but it is pretty thin. Interestingly, it is threaded. I don't know if I could find a replacement, but it is replaceable, which is always nice. In any case, I'll toss this into a kit that I hope to never need, and I may not see it again.
