Flashlight for review

Looks interesting. I have been carrying the maglight in the comparison for a few months. I wish it was a bit shorter. I'm tempted to buy one of the Colemans to see it if works out and make my LED maglight a glovebox flashlight.

The LED 2AA maglight is so much better than the incandescent one. Almost like night and day.

I only have two of them so far....

No problems other than people always trying to borrow them....

Think: Machete.

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.

Guy at work mentioned buying one. Asked him to bring it in today. It is awesome! 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!

Western NYS is also expecting snow. I didn't see any of these at Walmart, I'd probablly have bought one.

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. 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.

It will work good with a HOLDZEM=A9=AE

I'll have to put one on my christmas list.

Holdzem=A9=AE its the best thing since sliced bread ages 5-95 Everyone in the world can use a Holdzem! even people that don't like it can use a Holdzem!

CY: Me, also. AA cells have higher capacity, and the 2AA design is much more pocket friendly.

CY: You da man!

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.

looks very heavy. A properly made headlamp with batteries at the back makes sense.

No weights needed. The longer thin barreled lights tend to slide forward though. HOLDZEM=A9=AE main purpose is a bottle clip, but it good for MANY OTHER USES! Its the real meaning of "necessity is the mother of invention" for me. Being a moldmaker, CAD designing & CAM machining a mold for it was a hobby. I have them on E-bay & have sold all over the world. Its basicly a "give away/promotional item" so marketing companies are not interested in it.

HOLDZEM=A9=AE It truly holdz 'em all! Fully 3D CAD/CAM

What do you think about Joel Osteen?

Trade shows give away all sorts of goodies in the booths ... they have to buy them somewhere.

te:

I know! You know, but convincing someone with a $large$ advertising budget to buy a few hundred K is a challenge. WTF dont these people get? ITS FREE ADVERTISMENT! when people are walking around with "YOUR NAME HERE" on an actually useful gizmo. Want to sell more product than your direct competitor? GIVE SOMTHING AWAY dumbass. Not hord & sell t-shirts/hats/pens. Oh sorry you have to sell your name also. Everybody has to make a quick buck.

Good thing I'm not in sales & marketing.

Try to get with some of the people that sell such items for promotional use. You would probably need to hot-stamp or otherwise add advertising to them on a customer by customer basis but that's just value added for them.

They probably even have their own trade shows.

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...

te:

Tried the big ones, Harriet Carter & few others, no luck. Donaldson wants to lead me down the $yellow$ brick invention road. No thanks. Already invented. Already CAD designed CAM machined plastic injection mold. JUST MARKET IT! Again no money in it for them.

I designed the part exactly for that. Big flat area for pad printing/ hot stamping. I have a nest ready to go for holdzing it. A friend of mine

laser engraved quite a few for me to promo.

Its a flashlight thread:

Weew........ I gotta have a beer.
