    What is the Rolex of Flashlights?

    Why is Rolex the pinnacle? I prefer Omega. Did Rolex go to the moon? It was an Omega Speedmaster that timed the manual engine burn that saved Apollo 11. Omega's Speedmaster Professional watch was the only watch that passed NASA's rigorous testing and was declared "flight-qualified for all...

    what was the first led flashlight you owned?

    Probably an LED Minimag. I had carried a 2-D incan for one job for a few years and then an incan minimag for a long time.

There was a guy working in that aisle and he said yep they have priced themselves out of the market. Well I don't know if THAT'S the story or not but evidently people...

    LED light design question...

    Can someone smarter than explain why these are designed like this? One is a Cabela's Alaskan Guide 1200 L. It's one I was able to resurrect after purchasing it at an estate sale even though the clicky tail switch doesn't work.You have to tighten it to make it come on. My question is the design...

    Cabelas Alaskan Guide Light

    I've got my estate sale one working mostly. I took the battery module out . Sliced open the wrapped unit and removed the charge module including the metal straps that went down the sides. I folded them in to the charge module and used IT as a spacer. Works ok but the clicky switch doesn't . It...

    Neat household MacGyver tricks you've learned

    If you have a snake in a place that you don't want it to be and can't get it out use a CO2 extinguisher to stun it. It will chill it and also deprive it of oxygen. Also I've heard that you can chill beer with it.
