How many movies have you watched where a simple pen is used to do great things? Seriously, James Bond used a pen to shoot lasers, Jason Bourne used a pen as a knife to repeatedly stab some bad guy, and another movie had a pen that turned out to be a bomb.

While we won't be handling such an awesome pen any time soon, for just $45 at Think Geek, we can own a pen that acts as a fire striker. The Tactical Fire Striker is a normal-looking pen with the secret ability to start a fire; how the cave dwellers must have wished they had this bad boy. Furthermore, this pen can be transformed into a keychain: wow, a keychain and a fire striker in a single package?

You couldn't go wrong with a pen like this if you were ever shipwrecked on a strange island with mutated animals. By simply screwing off the bottom section of the pen, you'll reveal the fire striker, the thing you'll use to start a fire when the nights get too cold. Then being warm and cozy next to your new campfire, simply use the pen to write a book about your experiences on this island, and when you're done, just put it around your neck and go to sleep.

When rescuers finally come along, you'll be carried home, your book will sell millions, you'll be a hero and a rich person, all because of the Tactical Fire Striker Pen.
