    Question about Li-Ion drill battery

    I tried to catch a ryobi lithium pack I dropped. I ended up slinging it about 30 feet and bounced it off of concrete. It no longer worked so I dissected it. It was 5 18650 cells in series and had some pretty significant circuitry for charge and discharge. Per cell voltage and at least one...

    If consider budget knife from China store, which brand you would choose?

    Never heard of them and a bunch of them are blatant rip offs of specific designs. Knives from China are exactly like everything else from China. They can range from pretty well done to something chucked in a box that stretches or downright obliterates the commonly accepted meaning of that...

    Single Mode Lights - Extinct?

    Try the four sevens quark tactical. Program your mode for head tightened and then don't loosen the head for the second mode. Done.

    Zebralight SC62 and SC62w

    Eyeballing it versus known color temp lighting I have, it would seem darn close to what is claimed. At the highest mode it very pleasant. Lower power modes seem more yellow though, as others have stated.

    What happened to FourSevens?

    My EDC is a quark 123^2 from the initial pre order. It was a really nice design and 4sevens nailed it out of the gate between form factor, UI, and performance. One of the main problems is that it is that was what... 5 years ago? That package now puts out a whopping 82 more lumens in a market...

    Zebralight SC62 and SC62w

    Just got mine today. Tint is definitely warmer than 5k and cooler than 3k. I'd call it slightly golden in tint. Anodizing is a very pleasing dark gray over a pretty grippy surface texture. Clip was very tight. Switch seemed reasonable, but this is my first zebralight, so I can't really comment...

    Increasing earthquake activity

    It may be rare statistically for any individual, at least for catastrophic damage, but when it does hit, it's a lot of high dollar claims. It may just be that reinsurance dollars are only out there at a premium to cover the gap between claims and the insurance pool.

    ExtremeBeam Anti-Recoil system--does it live up to its claims?

    I think he meant a sniper rifle as opposed to a machine gun. And he is right, in general recoil is on par with a 12ga shotgun shooting 1oz slugs.

    LED Weaponlight

    Unfortunately none of the above will fit on a subcompact light rail.

    Nitecore D10 / EX10 - Is it what you expected?

    Ok, I don't post often, because I don't take flashlights quite as seriously/obsessively as most of the crowd here. I got my EX10, and a D10 is on backorder. The build quality of the light is great, one of the few lights where the build quality doesn't let the pretty product shots down. The...
