Petromax Fire Plunger

The Petromax Fire Plunger is a dependable fire-starting tool designed to ignite a fire effortlessly in any environment. Compact and shorter than a hand, it fits neatly into your luggage, making it an ideal companion for outdoor adventures where traditional ignition methods may fail.

This innovative device revives an ancient fire-making technique used by indigenous peoples, utilising air compression within a hollow cylinder to ignite tinder. By placing tinder inside the plunger and pressing it down vigorously, the compressed air generates heat of up to 400°C, igniting the tinder quickly and reliably without the need for electricity or matches.

Crafted from high-quality black anodised aluminium, the Petromax Fire Plunger includes both the plunger and its body, each end featuring securely threaded caps. These caps house the tinder and lubricant necessary for smooth operation. Additionally, a firesteel is stored inside the plunger, offering an alternative sparking ignition method to ensure fire-starting success even in challenging conditions.

For convenience and protection, the Fire Plunger can be stored in its dedicated transport pouch, keeping all components safely organised and ready for repeated use. Its robust construction guarantees durability, making it suitable for campers, hikers, and survival enthusiasts seeking a reliable ignition source.
