Description

Are you still using a normal lighter? The SURVIVE Permanent Match makes you shine when it ignites. The Permanent Match is the ultimate fire starter everyone needs to have nearby. It can be used to light a number of different things. Ever wish you had something unique that no one else had? The SURVIVE Permanent Match is just that. This unique lighter will amaze your friends and family. Take it with you wherever you go. When someone askes for a light you will be prepared to show them your magical new lighter! The uses are unlimited. It's the perfect gadget for campfires, stoves, gas grills, or barbecues. Take it with you camping. It is also great for emergency preparedness and fits easily in your survival kit or bug out bag. The Permanent Match is made up of 2 parts, the CONTAINER and the MATCH. The CONTAINER is filled with lighter fluid. The MATCH is made up of the FLINT STRIKER and WICK. On the side of the CONTAINER is a STEEL ROD. The MATCH ignites as the FLINT STRIKER strikes down the STEEL ROD. FUEL IS SOLD SEPARATELY. Use only Ronson or Ronsonol lighter fluid (light petroleum distillate fuel) to fill the canister. DANGER: Lighter fluid is extremely flammable. Use only as instructed. The best lighter fluid is Ronson or Ronsonol Lighter Fluid. The Permanent Matches ships without lighter fluid but a 4 oz bottle can easily be obtained online or at most department stores and gas stations. Slowly turn the lighter fluid upside down to fill the fuel container no more than 1/2 full. DO NOT strike the match if any lighter fluid has spilled out. To strike, position the flat end of the flint striker at a 45° angle at the top of the steel rod on the side of the container. Apply pressure to the match and scrape downwards along the steel rod. Practice striking to learn how to create a spark with each strike. DO NOT shake the container when striking. Keep the hand holding the container steady when striking to prevent fuel from spilling out. Keep away from children. Not a toy. The flame lasts for about 5 seconds before it starts to burn the wick. At that point the match needs to be re-soaked in more fuel. The cotton wick will not burn as long as there is enough fuel on the wick. Re-soak the wick in more fuel if it starts to burn. If more wick is needed, use needle nose pliers or tweezers to pull more wick out of each side of the match. Spare wicks are included to replace the wick if needed.

  • Bad reviews didn't apply to mine.
Style: Pack of 5
Almost cancelled this due to reviews. Glad I didn't! Retains fluid, and works great. I put one on my keys, because it passed my tests. 😂

  • Poor quality and don’t work.
Style: Pack of 5
Don’t buy these. I’ve purchased dozens of camping “forever matches”. Mostly because I lose them. These don’t spark. It’s almost like the flint and striker don’t work together. My guess is the striker isn’t the right ferrous metal to make a spark. Thought they were a deal. Straight to the bin.

  • Needed Survival Tool
Style: Pack of 5
What is one of the most important things you need to survive in the wilderness? FIRE! THIS product delivers. Small and easy to take, this single item can provide you with that needed item. It doesn't take long to master how to use this tool. Once learned, you can consistently get a light and use to start a fire. Was initially concerned when reading reviews by others. After just a few minutes I realize 'they' might be the problem vs. this tool. Both the wife unit and I were able to light this permanent match after just a few tries, and now can consistently light it on the first try. Great product and can't wait to take it out in the wild. Plan to give others in the 5-pack away to family and close friends. Looks like we have our stocking stuffers all figured out for this year. What a unique and handy gift to give! Cheers! ... show more

  • The SURVIVE Permanent Match outer casing is plastic and not made of metal
Style: Pack of 5
The SURVIVE Permanent Match is a good value for the money and works exceptionally well. I was disappointed that the silver casing was plastic. I assumed it was metal. Other than the plastic outer part I love the product and it's easy to strike.

  • I regret this purchase.
Style: Pack of 5
I initially wrote a one star review but after the frustration wore off and I got more of a chance to practice and mess around with this match-lighter, I change my mind. It takes some practice for sure but it’s not that bad. My main problem is you can’t tell how much fuel is in the tank so it’s easy to overfill. Once you overfill you are going to have a bad time. My other problem is the wick is way way too hard to replace. They make it look easy in the video but it is an absolute nightmare. Those two issues aside this gadget is pretty awesome. Everyone I show it to loves it. It’s a cool part of my keychain now and who knows- I might need it one day. I got 5 of these things for 20$ so I can’t be THAT disappointed. Three stars seems fair enough because of the two annoying problems. I still kind of regret not buying a different brand instead. I saw some cool ones when searching. I might have to start a collection. ... show more

  • Very Poor Quality; Choose another brand
Style: Pack of 5
The tiny thumbscrews are difficult to tighten and loosen. A larger knob would really help. On several occasions, I had to use pliers to unscrew the match, and I was careful not to cross-thread any of them. Speaking of which, a couple of them were very difficult to keep from cross-threading. At almost every attempt to screw them in straight, they would suddenly cant and try to go in at an angle. I tried turning them backwards (in the unscrewing direction) to feel for the threads to align, but I couldn't feel it. Finally, most egregious, is that two of the 5 containers leak. One leaks so fast that I can't get it filled fast enough to see the fluid pooled in the bottom of the canister, much less to the midpoint as the instructions indicate. The other leaks more slowly, and I didn't realize it at first. I filled the container according to the instructions, wiped up what I thought must be spillage, and started to break-in the flint. On the 3rd or 4th strike, the match lit, but so did the bottom of the canister. It began to burn my hand. After I extinguished the flame, I held the canister high and watched as fuel slowly pooled and dripped from the bottom. So, after this experience, I decided that these are unreliable garbage and a safety hazard. I proceeded to process a return, and to my surprise, they wanted me to ship them back even though I have already poured fluid in them. I'm not 100% on laws about shipping flammable liquids, but I'm pretty sure that I can't ship anything that is leaking fuel. I guess the set was cheap enough that I can throw the leaking ones away and hope that the other ones don't fail, but I don't have much faith in that idea. I'll probably find another brand that works as advertised and get rid of all 5 of these. The savings isn't worth the burns. ... show more
