    Have you chosen one brand's power-tools platform?

    I have a range of power tools, some adopted others "gifted" or simply salvaged and many with a lot of years on them... Einhell/Ozito Ryobi Bosch Black & Decker I can see the appeal of a one battery for all approach but sometimes I just prefer the other manufacturers specific product :grin2:

    Armytek China?

    Sometimes stating the obvious is the only way others comprehend 😋 Your grievance is with Armytek, just because I have a working well used example doesn't mean I am the "public face" of the Company, poor experiences will lead to a market response and subsequent decline in sales as reputation...

    Flashlight that auto turns on at power failure

    Eton make something called a "blackout buddy" which is definitely looks like an upgrade from the older Energizer wall night light/torch I had previously 👍 https://etoncorp.com/products/blackout-buddy-swivel

    Armytek China?

    Well of course water is wet, would you expect otherwise? Good customer service sets ANY business apart from competitors, that is why business "goodwill" and "brand recognition" are so valuable, hate on Armytek all you want...

    Anyone still use their Sam's Club HID?

    Couldn't get those Sam's Club HIDs here but the 2 x large spotlight HID hosts quite the rage at the time that I do have (see linked thread) have been gathering dust for at least 10 years, all they require is some new SLAs, output was wonderful but the 30-45 minute runtime relegated them to...

    Armytek China?

    Implied no... that is how you interpreted what I said, I was referring to ALL manufacturers can have product failures but where THEY (as in all manufacturers) stand apart is customer service.

    Bulletproof Badass!

    Indeed, the Legal System has been twisted and corrupted to the detriment of law abiding Citizens the world over... https://www.9news.com.au/national/queensland-news-man-killed-one-injured-after-alleged-axe-attack-south-of-the-gold-coast/486b6c2d-37b1-4ec9-9014-845b276bb3e3

    raggies random remarks ....

    Bad idea... I imagine you could end up with Tennants that might take advantage of you, heard of it happening before albeit to an older man who later ended up in a Nursing Home (Alzheimers). Tried house sharing once, wasn't great as they helped themselves to my groceries and gaming console when...

    Armytek China?

    I understand you're more than disappointed with Armytek, I simply stated I liked how their XP-G2 Predator performed, it was purchased pre-owned and came with a Nitecore 18650 so I was quite happy with the deal, it works so I have no reason to interact with their warranty service. My good...

    Job with plenty of flashlight usage?

    A building Superintendant would use their light often... if they're the proactive type 🤔

    Armytek China?

    Yup but that's the Predator Pro xhp35, not the older XP-G2 I have... all manufacturers have product failures but where they stand apart is the customer service & warranty (y)
