    REVIEW: STANLEY Beer Pint tumblers

    there is a product recall going on (seems like they're serving recalls only within the US and Canada): https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/stanley-cup-2-6-millionen-reisebecher-zurueckgerufen-wegen-verbrennungsgefahr-a-b263399b-53c2-419c-bad9-b6b2aa40043b...

    SkyRC — IFA 2014 — MC3000 charger-analyzer

    Hey everyone, i hope you guys have moved along well! I still use the mc3k every other day, mostly using program [11] for charging 18650 of my Fenix hm61r V2.0 (whose charging cable went corrupt). Just wanted to let you know that i started a healthy fun extremely satisfying new hobby: ping-pong...

    Fenix HM61R ticking all the boxes?

    The day has come, 2024-07-09, the ccv2 has died. Degraded very fast within 2-3 days, i didn't pay perfect attention. Not even 2.0 full months of non-stop "use" (=magnetic connection all the time, including several re-sets) did it last! Bad news: It is herewith 100% definitely confirmed that the...

    Fenix HM61R ticking all the boxes?

    Attention owners, usage update. There might(?) be a quality problem with the "charging cable V2" (ccv2 for short), i.e. the included charging cable for the hm61r V2.0. In order to verify this claim once and for all, i am prepared to conduct an official test, starting today. For this test, i am...

    FENIX HM61R v2.0 Headlamp review

    switch registering reliability on my V2 units (yeah i got several units, was curious about tint lottery ... but there is no tint lottery these days ... all units have beautiful non-greenish tint!) is 100%! and even if there were an issue (bad production unit\sample) OOTB, amazon return process...

    FENIX HM61R v2.0 Headlamp review

    yes, from OFF, there are two alternative ways to start the light in the red low mode. ALT1: as @_UPz said, from OFF, just a double click. The light goes from OFF directly to red low mode. ALT2: from OFF, press-n-hold. The light goes from OFF first to white light mode (mode memory, say mode5)...

    AAA twisty recommendation?

    ultratac k18 ss i retired my twisty aaa lights years ago . the ss (of k18) was the first light where i decided to buy and own several units as spares. its quality\price ratio (=its value) taught me to learn and adopt this new attitude. since then i bought multiple units of other high value...

    REVIEW: STANLEY Beer Pint tumblers

    Just a random hi and update on the state of things: after all these years, I still use all three items in the configurations shown, unchanged. And I'm happy with everything, so there's nothing to report or update lol. I wouldn't even call it a mod, but it's noteworthy: I taped the brushed steel...

    Fenix HM61R ticking all the boxes?

    The differences in machining between V1 and V2.0 are subtle, not essential. Overall the new version comes with more refined, more detailed machining, making the model look more mature and less primitively designed. Let's have a look at some details. The V2.0 tail section has slightly longer...

    My (limited) return to flashlight reviewing

    Sorry to say i haven't read any of your 2023 reviews and i am also not going to. Mostly because i lost interest in new lights new brands, same as you like ~8yr ago, other than the lights which i have and use myself haha, and also because none of the reviewed brands and lights (nor the 21700...

    Fenix HM70R

    Fantastic review work and a beautiful quality light, thank you for sharing @Stefano ! I am more into the 1x18650 form factor, so i've been looking into the HM61R V2.0 instead.

    REVIEW: STANLEY Beer Pint tumblers

    We're deep in 2023 and it looks like STANLEY has not fixed the construction issue of the < STANLEY Neverleak review > but has been deleting those photos from amazon.com instead, where it is easy to report customer reviews! pic8 (high-res): Shame on them.
