Great video. That Lever Gear pry bar is a revelation. Paired with a Steinwhale Stubby extender and bit kit, the LG pry bar does everything a Milwaukee Fastback 6 in 1 does and a lot more. The pry bar weighs 1 oz and the Steinwhale extender and bit kit weigh 1.75 oz. They could easily replace a 91mm SAK, especially if you have a SwissCard in the wallet giving you scissors, nail file, toothpick, tweezers, pen and pin or maybe a 58mm Manager on the keychain.

I’ve been using the Roxon M4 for a couple of weeks now. What I really like about it as an accessory to a more tactical flipper, is that I can put this into any pocket without worry. Since there is no protrusions like a clip or studs, and it’s wrapped in leather, I can have it in the same pocket as my phone without fear of scratching the screen. A tip on the scissors is when you deploy them, press the non-spring blade of scissor so that it is goes to max travel: the spring side will properly pop out when the straight portion snaps into the stop detent.

I picked up the Nicron N7 based on your review and just received it in the mail. Damn, just with the AA battery, it is really good! Very light but solid feel. Thank you sir!

@practicalguy973 4 ай бұрын

Acebeam TAC AA with the 519A LED is exactly what I'm looking for. Nearly the same size with crowned bezels as my beloved ProTac 1L-1AA but with a better CRI and better low modes. I always want something large enough to strike with but skinnier than an 18650 flashlight for my pocket. I have a lot of people with out of control dogs in my neighborhood and the strike bezel would at least be a deterrent before going to the pocket knife if I ever get attacked. I agree they should not put TAC. would be good to make another name in the direction of EDC self defense. As long as the crowned bezel protrudes and can be a force multiplier then should be great for being a strong deterrent.

A big use for a UV light is with AC diag, most autoac systems have a reactive dye in the oil that will light up when hit with uv light to make leak detection easier.

I shook my head when I saw you had RovyVon in your list. I bought 4 A28s and all of them had the same issue. A button that gets stuck! Bought the A8 and had exact same issue. I’m actually thinking to make a video as a buyer be aware!

@Man_Ray78 Ай бұрын

I find it weird that anywhere I look Rovyvon are considered semi premium because I thought that and bought 4 different models. All but one are gone! The only one that's left is my E8, but even that is having issues like the usb port does not hold when charging and the AAA battery, does not work when needed. My A 28 was my fav but one day I dropped it like 500 cm, and the head broke off the body. They sure feel better than many but all mine are dead after 2 years, and not that much usage! I'm needing a reverse influencer or reviewer that would perhaps buy the reviewed things for the Patreon money and gets to be honest all the way instead ( not saying this channel is dishonest just that many of Us try out stuff from companies that give them stuff) so I'm with you in spirit.

You should do a full review of the Rovyvon A26, even compared to the A28. There's nothing if you search! I'm a fan of the A28, bought a 2nd one with nichia and would really like to see the throw of the A26 in high CRI.

@maxlvledc 7 ай бұрын

I can't see why it would make sense in a High CRI. It feels like it makes way more sense to have A26 in Cool white for max distance. and the A28 in high CRI.

The Roxon M3 13 in 1 is in my opinion a far superior mini multi tool if you use scissors regularly. They are a beast and cant pop out and you seem to get more with the M3, and it’s cheaper! The best mini multi tool I have used and that I own which is keychain size!

I found a cool looking light on Aliexpress, and im interested in your opinion about it. Maybe in a next video? Summary: a mid pocket clip, and its dumb UI. Thats the only drawback. High to low than strobe. Selection when you turn it on. BUT! Its AA/14500, IPX8, USBC charging, with a waterproof port+dust cover collar, magnetic tail with mechanical lockout, and included 3 diffuser (white/orange/red) its around 30 bucks, i think? Has a lot of names, idk who the original is. Newbirth S21, for example. Can send you a link, if you are interested. Without that dumb UI, i think its a pretty neat light, would like to see a quality brand version, with better UI.

@flashlightnoob 7 ай бұрын

I have reviewed it on my channel; my version is Tunenge S21. In my opinion, the best AA/14500 available on the market , it's relatively cheap but good quality.

@flashlightnoob 7 ай бұрын

@@Blez1224 Ah, glad to help! Sorry for the skipped part, my phone was broken and suddenly stop working so the part about switch and locking mechanism is not there. The switch is foward click, half press to temporarily on and changing the output (similar to Acebeam TAC AA - not the best UI out there). The locking mechanism is a mechanical pin on the tail, if you turn the switch to the lock position, you can't press the tail switch; I think it's a simple but clever solution.

Agreed, I'm not happy with my Tac AA; it's way too expensive, and they don't understand the fundamentals of tactical flashlight readiness in distress situations. I understand some people will always prefer memory mode, but for a mini tactical flashlight?! I wish there was more like Nextorch TA15 out there.

@@maxlvledc because as 'tactical' is better to be as more invisible you can. If I need high mode I can choose that, but if I want to switch on the flashlight the time I need not to been seeing I don't want high mode. If we talking about enemy, a bullet will do the job, not any strobe or high mode. That means 'tactical'. Thanks for the reviews anyway. You help me a lot to choose my next flashlight.

Great content. You're entitled to your opinion, but in the case of the Acebeam Terminator M1 I think you are being a little fearmongeringly over cautious. ANY powerful flashlight is a tool. The simple button switching is an appreciated feature. Many flashlight tools have many modes, mode memory, can be quite powerful, and might as you say also be "used for reading". As such a tool, one has to know if the light has mode memory and will come on where left off, and plan accordingly. And with any powerful tool, including that little Tac AA, you wouldn't very first thing shine it on something white or reflective very close to you. One wouldn't (shouldn't) do this any more than you would test whether a reciprocating saw was plugged in/charged by putting your finger on the blade and pushing the button. My Lumintop Thor Pro and other LEPs have a significantly more powerful LEPs, with mode memory, and I use them accordingly. That said, you know your audience better, and if folks need reminding not to stick a paper clip in the electrical outlet, very well.
