After six successful Kickstarter projects, Power Practical is at it again, combining their geeky nature with the desire to create products you can use on a daily basis. The Sparkr and Sparkr mini are unique, multi-functional tools that give you the power to create fire and light wherever your adventures may take you.
The team at Power Practical is a small inventive group of guys who like to tinker with electricity and build practical durable solutions that make life better. True story: a few years ago the guys were building a home-made 6ft-tall Tesla Coil when it the idea struck them to make a smaller version for everyday carry. After a more than a year of research and development, they’re very proud to release Sparkr and Sparkr mini.
Sparkr sends a concentrated electrical charge between two electrodes, providing reliable ignition in the windiest, coldest, and wettest of the conditions. Flip it around and take advantage of the built-in 150 lumen flashlight with 3-settings: high, medium, and low. The Sparkr is a sleek, practical and durable gadget designed for the rigors of backcountry adventure and the convenience of everyday carry.
