Victorinox’s “Mini Tool Fire Ant Set” is small and cute.
Well, when I look at the instruction manual, I wonder if I should actually use it … It’s all in English! (That’s why I like the scent of foreign countries …!)
So I went to the Victorinox showroom to learn more about how to use it!
* The showroom is not open to the public, so please enjoy the atmosphere in this article!
Easy! How to use the fire ant set
I was surprised that the crater swelled fluffier than I expected!
Taken by the author: When you loosen the hard wax around it, fluffy cotton comes out from inside.
When you loosen it, you can see that the outside is firmly waxed.
Even if it is soaked in water, if you wipe it lightly, it is waterproof and can be used as a crater!
You can bring it with confidence for water activities such as fishing!
Supplement: Metal match = metal part of fire starter
Wow, much easier than I imagined!
Mr. H demonstrated it in the showroom, and I was surprised that it caught fire very easily!
Moreover, the flame from this crater lasts longer than I expected!
When I measured it, it stayed on for 25 seconds!
Since the fire lasts for a long time, it may be easy to ignite twigs and firewood!
Also as disaster prevention goods ◎ How to store for a long time?
Victorinox “multi-tool” is often used not only as EDC goods but also as disaster prevention goods.
I also have a multi-tool for everyday use that I bring to the camp and a multi-tool for storage that is in the disaster prevention backpack!
Considering the time when gas and electricity can no longer be used, it is super safe to have a “mini tool fire ant set” that can start a fire!
For long-term storage, it is recommended to attach it to the multi-tool without scraping the protective film on the metal match part!
So that’s it! The protective film has the role of protecting the fire starter from moisture.
