Sparking flint wheel spinny things

[Scottie_UK]

Does anyone remember then toys that contained two flints and emery board. They were mounted to a round disk with translucent coloured plastic windows.The device was spun by pumping a small metal retched in its plastic handle, this caused the wheel to rotate and small sparks to fly which could be seen though the coloured plastic. Are they still around?? Or did health and safety ban them?

I recall the guns,hard plastic and a slight 'electrical' smell when triggered lots. Had the illusion of warming ones hands on a chilly evening.
