Pros: Thickness, length, nice big sparks, pre-drilled hole
Cons: Doesn't include paracord or leather lanyard
When it comes to Ferro Rods, size does matter. The reason for this is due to physics & mathematics, both of which was my primary focus in college. It all measures down to surface area, and length. A small ferro rod will produce less sparks, that is just science and not opinion. The amount and temperature of the sparks is what will ignite the tinder.
People that have problems lighting their timber with ferro rods either has a combination or one of the other problems; not enough sparks or sparks are too low a temperature or a combination of both. (this is assuming your tinder is not to blame)
Being an older gentleman reaching 50 years in the not-too-distant future (sadly), I must say that I got tired having to press so hard on my striker against smaller, thinner, less 'hot' ferro rods.
Con: heavier than smaller Ferro rods, and hole is a tad small to feed paracord through, so make sure you melt the tip of cord 1st, and have patience
Pros: Hotter sparks up to 3000°F, more sparks produced, easier to use due to size, this product will last longer due to it's size (there is just more Ferro material), less pressure needed to produce same amount if not more sparks of smaller competitors)
Conclusion: Buy Once... Cry Once,,, IMO it is better to spent a tad more money, and get this heavier, thicker, more durable, and far more sparks producing Ferro rod. It will allow you to more easily start fires, and more effortlessly, not to mention due to the higher spark temperature output, you will be able to catch fire far less 'suitable' tinder, like on those wet and raining days in the wilderness.

Additionally, there is a hole on one end that is perfect for threading paracord through and making a secure wrist lanyard, and in a pinch paracord can be used as an accelerant to start a fire if you have nothing else.
Hot Tip: take a one to two inch piece of 1/2" shrink tube, slide it on, heat it up, and you have a great non-slip handle. If you cover the hole with the shrink tube, just poke through it with a awl or drill bit after it cools and then string your lanyard cord through it. That's what I did and it works great.
I don't use a ferro rod as my primary fire lighting device, I carry a Bic lighter which is faster and easier, but I do recommend carrying a ferro rod as a back-up if you run out of fuel or your lighter breaks. It is very primitive and satisfying way to start a campfire, and when it comes to survival and warmth redundant systems are a good thing.
One caveat, if you are a backpacker and weight is a big deal to you, this rod is somewhat heavy (it says 0.8 oz, it feels like more than that to me), you might be better off with their smaller 4" x 3/8" ferro rod.
