Some Help/Info on this ( Toledo Inox )
While I can't tell much from this one picture, I am going to take a couple of guesses... If the handle feels rather heavy then they are probably die cast which includes a lot of Zinc (has a density of 7+ which is 3/4 of the way to Lead at 11.3). Die cast is a sign of lower quality. But it could...- electronFarmer

Old Maglite Conversions
Update: I found the Mini - Pro at Wally World for just under $20. So I had to get one for comparison... Yeah, much brighter at the advertised 272 Lumens, at least 3 - 4 times brighter. This, of course, is because our eyes perceive brightness variation on a logarithmic scale. So coffeecup66's...- electronFarmer

Why carry two EDC knives?
I am as much a "knifeholic" as a flashaholic. My knife "collection" numbers about 300. And as much as I look around I keep coming back to kitchen cutlery in terms of style. Here in Michigan we have 2 rules/statutes on the books. One mentions a 3 inch length limit for concealed carry and the...- electronFarmer

Old Maglite Conversions
Me too! I found 4 mini's at "Good- vibe" for 2$ each. Upon getting them home, found one had a leaked battery and destroyed the end cap getting it opened. The battery would not budge even with my trick of drilling, screwing and slide hammering. Oh well, threw that one in the scrap. Then went to...- electronFarmer

An Emergency Water Epiphany
You need to be careful drinking DeIonized or Distilled water. Because it lacks ANY dissolved chemicals it will leach chemicals OUT of your body. If you cook with it you will be fine because you are adding plenty of goodies in. Even Tea or Coffee is good. But if you count on this as your drinking...- electronFarmer

PRACTICE DRILL: A mass solar flare just hit earth. The grid is down...
Well I've read this entire thread. I came looking for such a thread because we recently had high winds which blew out the candles, I mean electricity, at my little shop. I've read about EMP, solar induced and otherwise before but had not taken any steps before. So, upon entering my little shop...- electronFarmer

Led driver mechanics
I'm a bit new here too, but I've been doing a lot of reading and research and reading and research. Depending on the driver you choose the "extra" 6 volts is not lost, it will contribute to longer run time as the voltage drops in your battery. You have not specified any other features you want...- electronFarmer
