    Subaru Outback or Subaru fans?

    Former licensed wholesale/retail car dealer here. From extensive hands-on with buying/servicing/driving/selling *many* different makes/models, I can affirm the build quality of Subaru. But ... due to brand loyalty they can be hard to find/buy and seem to attract a type of buyer who doesn't...

    Please Recommend 4" to 6" WiFi Device/Max. $250.00/Replaceable Battery

    Yeah, you *think* you have turned it off. But it has some ferocious battery drain while it's "off." My iPhone 4's I've been charging recently and they'll last about a month when turned off. I just checked one I charged last week and it's down to 90%. I occasionally use them as remotes for my...

    Looking for a new EDC

    EagTac D25C. Titanium. Perfect size - see Ven's photo lineup above. And best of all Going Gear is dumping their inventory of 2014 model (no practical difference between '14 and '15 models) for $40. http://goinggear.com/clearance

    Apple products can NOT be turned off. I own every iPhone since launch, two macs, many iPods, four iPads. You turn them off and leave them a week in your trunk and they'll have a dead battery. I have a Samsung tablet that also loses charge when "off" but not so quickly. Somebody above...

    Predator / Predator Pro. Tactical lights.

    Thank you! I was ready to buy a Predator until I found this thread. Incidentally, I looked on google maps for Armytek's "Canadian six floor factory" and found this using the address on Armytek's website: http://goo.gl/maps/QAFn2YigVBB2 (hint: look at the "street view"!) I think CPF may have...

    Predator / Predator Pro. Tactical lights.

    I just looked and now it's down to 370m. I am becoming EXTREMELY unsure about this company. They claim to be Canadian and have a six floor Canadian factory yet lights are made in China and shipped from China. Their marketing materials and comments here are obviously not written by a native...

    General Discussion

    Re: Shipping From China Wait, I am apparently a bit slow. Doesn't their website go on about being a Canadian manufacturer with a six floor factory in Canada? But their lights are made in China and factory orders ship from China? Defective lights must be shipped back to China? This changes...

    Current Promotions & Discounts

    I'm from Detroit and having grown up with Windsor due South and CBC on my TV, I do speak Canadian eh? But for all the regular CPF members it's great that you translated for them. I've been sitting on the fence re an Armytek purchase for some time now eh? And seeing the new Predator seems to...

    Thrunite Ti - The perfect little pocket light no more

    At $10, it would also be a good business gift and I could see buying a hundred of the things. Failures there would be a bigger concern than one I bought for myself or for family. At that price point I'd always prefer an on/off to much more complicated and failure prone multiple modes. Anyway...

    Olight S30 Baton review (1000 lm,XM-L2,18650/2xRCR123A)

    I just picked up the titanium version and the instructions say 18650 and CR123 primaries only. I'm not taking a chance with the 16340's even though more output would be fun (not needed, but more is better right?). Also, mine is clearly built in three pieces, but the head can't be unscrewed by...

    Thrunite Ti - The perfect little pocket light no more

    Cheap is a relative term. A $3 flashlight purchased in 1980, plastic, incandescent, disposable, is equivalent to that $10 LED today. Also consider complexity - that $10 LED of which you complain had an electromechanical mode switch which any engineer would tell you is the most likely point of...

    Thrunite Ti - The perfect little pocket light no more

    I didn't see any admission by Thrunite that there was a "design flaw." I saw that they had come up with an improved design. That happens with everything subject to mechanical wear. I'm not angry when my car's brakes go out, nor when my headlight switch wears out. Those aren't design flaws...
