Buying Guide: Choosing a Carabiner Multi-Tool

Fire Starting and Cutting
Both models use an EverSpark wheel for fire starting, so you swipe your finger across the wheel to create a spark. The Firebiner also has a utility/safety blade that cuts paracord and fishing line, and the Fire Escape includes a seatbelt cutter.

Tools on the Fire Escape
The Fire Escape includes a seatbelt cutter with a rubber cover and a carbide-tipped glass breaker. Its O2 and hex wrench double as hang slots, and it also includes a bottle opener. Compare the tool list against your needs before choosing between the two models.
