    GORDON 20-in-1 Multi-Tool

    I purchased a Leatherman Wave around 2002 after 21yrs of use, camping, work and all manner of projects, broke the serated blade trying to remove window putty, damaged the wire cutters cutting through thick galvanised fence mesh, and the diamond file worn amongst the years of pocket crud, so...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    The wood frame 3 seater settee shat itself so had to break it apart and rebuild it, now it bolts together using bed bolts and barrel nuts rather than glue, which will make it easy to flat pack when we move. Whilst drilling some of the holes I used my Nitecore HC75 UHE headlamp to light up and...

    Help Choosing A Pure Flood Flashlight

    PaladinNO @Monocrom @yeoldoak The Nitecore "i"-series uses that proprietary 21700 cell though, with both the positive and negative on the same end of the battery. Can such a cell even be charged in a regular charger? The Nitecore NL2150HPi battery has both the + & - at both ends of the...

    Help Choosing A Pure Flood Flashlight

    2nd that for the Nitecore P20iX its mental inside a building with light bounce, just be aware due to its large protruding tail cap switch it can switch on in a pocket and melt everything, though you can buy a guarded tail cap to avoid this.

    Homemade gear

    The light and mounting setup works great on a bike with gloved hands, unlike trying to get to a light in a pocket, the light has a large protruding tail cap switch which makes for easy switch on with most gloves, though fails with the thick mutant winter mitts : )

    Homemade gear

    Purchased a couple of holsers for a Nightcore P20iX light, the holster has removable spacing adjusters so you can match to the strap size when fitted to reduce movement, coupled with the double layer 2" strap things are solid, no rotation or movement when removing or docking the light.

    Cutting boards?

    Old plastic cutting boards can be cut to shape, heated gently with boiling water then bend to give a curve, insert into a body vest or similar and you have a stab vest : )
