As for mag, I like the Nite Ize, or Teralux bulbs for the
minimag. The Nite Ize for C and D cells, I find to be useless. The LED original equipment C and D Mags, I really like. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..

I'd have stopped at the box store and bought one tonight but I figured the ride home was going to be a long one due to blizzard conditions. I'm getting one of those for me!

Same lumen output but I'd rather stick with 2 AA batteries. Weather was better than I expected so I had time to stop at wallymart and buy one before work this morning. Pointing this flashlight intentionally at someone's eyes could be chargable as assault. Metalworking content. Flashlight is made out of an extrusion in good old China. The flats and slots were cut by two different endmills. I can see some marks from where the tools dwelled. I wish they had run a knurling tool on the body instead. I may correct that in the near future. Wes -- "Additionally as a security officer, I carry a gun to protect government officials but my life isn't worth protecting at home in their eyes."

Make sure you don't pick up the one that uses 3 AAA batteries. Same lumen output but I'd rather stick with 2 AA batteries. CY: Me, also. AA cells have higher capacity, and the 2AA design is much more pocket friendly. Weather was better than I expected so I had time to stop at wallymart and buy one before work this morning. CY: You da man! Pointing this flashlight intentionally at someone's eyes could be chargable as assault. CY: Hmm. That good? Metalworking content. Flashlight is made out of an extrusion in good old China. The flats and slots were cut by two different endmills. I can see some marks from where the tools dwelled. I wish they had run a knurling tool on the body instead. I may correct that in the near future. CY: You da machinist! Hey, if you've got the tools, use em. I've heard suggested to coat the barrel in heat shrink tubing so as to give better grip, and less chance of freezing your fingers in cold weather.

That looks very heavy. A properly made headlamp with batteries at the back makes sense. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "cncmillgil" wrote in message ...

Dick Anthony Heller The lack of knurling is about the only complaint I have with mine. It does make it slick if it gets damp. What I am going to do with mine is to coat the body with tool handle dip. Should make it better. The only other minor complaint is watch your skin when you screw down the tail cap. Easy to get some skin in the kerf and OOPS... -- Steve W. |
