What is the length of the magnesium strip and stick? looking to use this in a survival kit.

The base is 2 1/2 inches by 1 in and the stick is flat and 2 inches. I think it would be perfect for a survival kit. You will need to practice with it, though.

Hello...mine is already stored away. But, if my memory serves me right it's under 3 inches. I did use it once to start a fire and indeed it does work. It took me several minutes to accumulate sufficient shavings but it does work. I'd probably recommend it for your survival kit. Good luck hopefully my comments were useful.

The stick and strip are about 3" long. Be aware that the stick has very fine teeth that do not scrape off much of the magnesium onto your tinder pile. The scrapings are so fine that I had trouble igniting the 'pile' with the back side of the stick against the ferrite rod. If I scraped the chips onto a cotton ball, then it would ignite from the spark. For a survival kit I recommend you include some fine steel wool or cotton balls.

The magnesium block and striker are aprox. 3 inches long. The block itself is aprox. half inch wide. I recommend having one in a survival kit. You should have three different ways to make a fire in a kit. However I had problems with this one. It seemed to have more aluminum then magnesium.

I don' t have the length of each individual section--the sections are somewhat difficult to separate and reassemble because of the internal adjusting mechanisms. The upper section is 22" long (if you wanted to take it apart); the other two sections are probably about the same length.) It may interest you to know that the overall length of the fully collapsed stick is a little under 27", from the top of the handle to the end of the rubber hiking tip.

About as long as a standard drumstick with maybe about 3-4 inches of leftover space. I surprisingly can't find a ruler in my house ? Weird... But if you need exact measurements, you might want to email the seller. I don't have a way to get approximates at the moment. Hope this was a tiny but helpful!

Hi rickshawhobo, do it a favor to your excalibur and use the Pack of 5 Premium 14" x 14" Non-Stick Dehydrator Sheets.

the roll I have has several splices in the length, but its a hundred or so of feet between splices, its a little thin for tent poles, I used it for scop covers, replacing the dried out elastic cord..

Not going to measure it, But its just a hair smaller than chapstick tube, and a hair thicker than a Sharpie marker at its widest point. I hope this helps?

3/16 of an inch. Just shy of 1/2". Love these sticks. I can't believe how inexpensive they were and how long they've lasted. We have a fire pit in the backyard and they get a lot of use.

I don't have a ruler, but I still have a couple lollipops left over from a baby shower and my husband and I both agree that the stick looks to be about 5 inches long.

7/32 of inch is as close as I can measure the diameter. These sticks fit well in the same connectors as other glow sticks that I have used, so there appears to be a standard diameter for these type of glow sticks.

The stick is not has long has I wished for. It is their standard size aproximately 6 inches. But worth the buy and presentation.

The package I bought had quite a few. I would say at least a couple dozen sticks, and the sticks are around 5 inches long.

My blade is 3/16" thick x 5 1/4" long. I've taken it on 2 different camping trips, and abused it badly, making baton cuts across 4-6" seasoned hard maple, did quite a bit of splitting, carving, and lots of other things as well.You have one hellofa good survival knife here, I'd trust my life on it

The one I use is approximately half an inch long with a small tip. The other length included is also approximately a half inch, but the tip is probably a quarter of an inch extra. Hour that helps.

First let me say I love this glue gun. It takes 7/16 diameter sticks. However, I would get the longer 10 inch glue sticks the mini sticks just are not long enough. Enjoy your glue gun.

Its about 25 in. collapsed. I carry mine in a nylon pool cue case. Hope this helps you,laurie. It is a real good hiking stick. Use mine all the time. Living in New Mexico,I spend alot of time in the deserts and mountains.

7/8 inch. I added this tip (Quadruple Cane Tip - Uneven Terrain Walking Stick Base Stabilizing Device by Pharmaceutical Specialties, Inc.) and it fit perfectly.
