## Description

The Best Glide ASE Credit Card Fresnel Lens Fire Starter and Magnifier Lenses are a great back up fire starter and will fit practically anywhere. Our Fresnel Lens Fire Starter is small, flat, light and inexpensive. Some practice is required and of course, one needs a sunny day for it to work. We do not recommend the Fresnel Lens as a primary fire starting tool, but as an addition to an already supplied kit. The Fresnel Lens Fire Starter, or Credit Card Magnifier, is so inexpensive why not carry a few just in case. The Best Glide ASE Fresnel Lens Fire Starter is more commonly known as a credit card magnifier. However, our version has 4 power magnification, much more than the 2X or 3X of standard credit card magnifiers, making it a great magnifier fire starter. The Best Glide ASE Fresnel Lens has been used for years in various applications, most notably the Light House Lens. Using a Fresnel Lens allows the light of the light house to be magnified numerous times and still be relatively small. It is a truly amazing invention. The Best Glide ASE Fresnel Lens is made of Optical PVS and is .4mm think and weighs 5.5 grams. In short, it is the size of a very thin credit card. The Fresnel Lens Fire Starter comes with a green, red, or yellow protective case with the Best Glide ASE Logo.Please note: These fresnel lenses are made of Optical PVC. However, there may be trace amounts of Diisononyl Phthalate (DiNP), which may require warning labels pursuant to California's Proposition 65. This labeling is only relevant to California. Since sellers cannot control which fulfillment center inventory is sent to customers in California vs. Outside of California (where it is not relevant), sellers may label all units in accordance with California's Proposition 65. Thus, customers outside of California may receive fulfillment center inventory with this California Proposition 65 Warning.

Review: Long Term Fire Starting Capability Plus a Few Tips - This 3-pack of Fresnel lenses are a good deal for the money and a solid product for survivalist, campers, hikers, or anybody needing a last resort method of lighting a fire on a sunny day. These are thin, flexible and about the size of a credit card and will slip into a wallet or go bag without weight or taking up space. A must have in my opinion. Fresnel lenses are a magnifying lens specialized designed to ignite dry tinder and start a fire, but you must have sunlight like any magnifying glass. An important aspect of these Fresnel lenses is that they are 4x magnification compared to many that are only 2x. The 4x will burn quicker and help you get the fire started. As in any fire starting venture, you want the driest tinder possible, and build a small tinder pile (or make a tinder bundle) and focus the light beam to start the burning process. Make sure you have dry twigs and larger woods on hand to build your fire. A handy thing to carry in your go-bag is a couple dry tea bags that can help assure you of something that will ignite in a less than perfect environment. Tinder bundles are compressed dry leaves and small twigs. You don't want them to be to loose, but not to tight either, because you want air to circulate through the bundle to aid the fire. In a survival situation, if you have access to dry tinder materials, you want to make several tinder bundles while the getting is good in case it rains. If you have some plastic, wrap them up to keep them dry, or put them in an article of clothing and stash them so they won't get wet. You can see many demonstrations on You Tube. Highly recommended!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How well, on a scale of 1-10, do these work for starting fires?**
A: 5 considering normal methods.  If you only have sticks, twigs, etc. and a match or lighter is a 10 and using two stick to create friction is a 1, then these around 5.   This fresnel will quickly blacken paper but you don't get a flame.  You have to create an ember and then use skill, angle, the right tinder and lots of patience to get a fire.  I compared these to a 4 inch magnifying glass and the glass was twice as good and easier to focus.  I was using various combinations of cotton ball, jute fibers, various cardboard, and dry pine needles.   I actually got a fire with the magnifying glass, but I never could duplicate with this fresnel.  Note that the 4 inch magnifying glass has 12.6 in2 and these have about 4.8 in2 and the magnifying glass focuses much better.  The image quality on these is marginal compared to other larger ones I have, but these do work as a pocket magnifier for reading.

**Q: will these fit in a altoids tin?**
A: Nope. 

One of these will not fit in an Altoids tin unless you remove the lens from its plastic sleeve and then trim the edges to make it smaller.

**Q: Anyone know the magnification power of these lenses; ie  5X, 10X... ???**
A: · Magnifies up to 4x according to info from ; http://officesupplyonsale.com/item/az/uk0ib00nwm/3-pack-credit-card-size-pocket-fresnel-lens-magnifier-lenses-for-fire-starting ; also on the amazon page !

**Q: Are these unbreakable**
A: Nothing is unbreakable ... even Kryptonite was stronger than SuperMan.  They are made of a strong, yet flexible plastic that is slightly thinner than a credit card, and a little less durable than a credit card.  They are strong enough for the service for which they are intended, and priced accordingly.  They will start a fire on a sunny day.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good product! Waiting for a sunny day to try them out!
*by H***O on March 24, 2016*

Great product. Came quickly and was at the bottom of the box with another order. These things are so slim you really have to be careful that they don't get lost in the shuffle if they are in with another order. All three of the lenses came without any deformities or real aberrations. A Fresnel lens is a flat lens made of a number of concentric rings with each ring slightly angled to focus the light to a certain spot. This allows for good magnification without the bulk of a traditional magnifying lens (if you already knew all this I apologize, but I certainly didn't). Anyway, these lenses are just as advertised, very slim, very strong, and very flexible. The flexibility is great so that you don't have to worry about cracking them very easily. The magnification does seem to be right around 4x like they say. The protective sleeves come with some nice inspirational quotes from some great minds and you can see the magnification in my photo. Sorry it's a little blurry in the background but the depth of field on my phone at that distance isn't so great. Anyway you get the idea of the magnification. You can also see the distortion at full magnification as the letters bend a bit on the outsides. So, I bought these as just an extra backup way to make fire in my emergency/bug out bags. It's nice to have something that doesn't rely on any fuel or that needs to stay dry (lighters and matches). I haven't tried to start a fire with them yet as it has been overcast since I got them (of course, right?!) but once the sun comes out I'll give it a shot and update. I'm pretty confident that on a full sun day you could start some tinder smoking pretty quickly. I'll find out. I try to make my reviews engaging and useful so if you though this review was helpful please click on the helpful button. Thanks!
