Match Pull Pro by Trevor Duffy

I inadvertently put my review of the cheap ‘lit match producer’ here, so here’s my actual review. Although expensive, this is a high quality item. It can hold three matches at a time, which is a good feature. Tension is provided by a rubber ring (a spare is included) - and no doubt small rubber bands, or O rings would also work. Two spare striker pads are included, but if replacements were not readily available, could be sourced from matchboxes.

Rather basic and a little fiddly to get right. The brand and size of match is critical! Striker pad is just the edge of a matchbox (and is of the dotted type, so not as much red phosphorus). With the correct choice of match and striker, it should work reasonably well. The safety pin is removable, so can be replaced, if necessary. The stainless body can be easily bent, which allows for adjustment - but it isn’t spring material, so will stay bent. This is advantageous for tweaking, but means the gripping force is poor. Cheap, particularly when compared to Match Pull Pro, so almost disposable.
