The battery might be replaceable on the Kodiak because you can remove it from the other end by twisting off the cap
Walmart now has the new model of that Kodiak which is 15.000 lumens now, 10.000 is it's normal power like the old versions turbo, and Turbo mode on new model is 15.000.
Holy hell! I wish they would list the candela on these bad boys.
I don't know about the 6500 lumen Swiss tech flashlight I've always wanted to see how bright it really is but all I know is I own the 6000 lumen Kodiak flashlight and it's the brightest flashlight I've ever had the only inconvenience I see in the Kodiak flashlight is that it takes nearly 24 hours to fully charge when completely dead
I did end up keeping the kodiak. It just seemed like a better flashlight. But the charging is a bit inconvenient.
@@SurvivingtheDaily i have one but the charging port or little hole broke and i cant charge it and cant open up the flashlight
I have therm both, and the Kodiak shines way brighter.
@@BesshandOkafor good to know thanks for the heads up
@@JuanMartinez-pv7vl if you still have the flashlight you can use a pair of vice grips to get the back opened
Powerful set of flashlights. Those would a good addition to any bodies home. Good video. Carry on. 👍
Or in a car or truck. Thanks for watching!
Sofirn better
BTW the Kodiak Kiran is capable of battery swaps. It comes apart right below the button where the smooth body and the textured part meet. Careful it also comes apart right below where it says Hot.
Oh yeah, and at the opposite end right under the ring between the textured portions.
I was disappointed with the Swiss tech it doesn’t “spotlight” or focus enough to go far out. In Texas you can legally hunt rabbits at night and it really was a let down. Other than that it’s insanely bright and will light up a huge area.
I feel like this review is missing some very important things. What's the zoom range, can it get tight? What about heat, when you're talking about high lumens, some of these flashlights can get quite hot, how do these feel after 5 min on highest setting? What about charge display, do either of these let you know the power % the battery is at? Thanks.
It's not a tight beam at all. Gets very hot on the 6kL setting, and can only run for 30s on 10kL. It's essentially a handheld floodlamp
Interesting comparison.. Don't think i noticed the Kodiak when i purchased the Swiss Tech (6500). The Swiss tech Definitely feels (and is) solid in the hand. My first one had defective leds to show the power level (was prolly just misaligned inside), but definitely convinced me to wait for another to come in to the store. It has double o-rings on the end and unlike most of these Baton-style lights you must remove the battery to charge it. This can be an advantage because it makes it more watertight, especially over time. Another guy posted a video of him testing the Swiss Tech (not a great video btw), to see if it was waterproof he left it in a bucket of water for.... Six Days. He pulled it out and it worked fine. Then he noticed just a bit of water under the lens... which anyone else would have let dry or gotten out somehow. Instead he just left the light on until it cracked the thick lens. Flashlight still worked fine i think. Basically he trashed the light, but any Flashlight you can keep underwater for nearly a Week and still be good... uh, yeah i like it. It's hugely bright. When i use it, it's typically on lowest power, zoomed all the way to make the smallest spot. It's no "thrower". In fact i think it's designed to be bright closer up than usual, thus better as a self-defense tool. And for that purpose, the weight and solidness of it could deliver some damage. I like how solid the thing is. The company stresses that it's made-in-china, but that they are based in US and design their lights here. Inside the battery unit are two 21700 batteries, which are the size/type being used by the rest of the companies now. (there's two and i bet you could replace them when needed) BTW, to turn it Off, w/o having to cycle thru high, just hold the button down for 2secs. Definitely has some power... if you were going off-roading, you could just strap it to your roof rack and have an instant offroad light. Or, if you somehow drove into the water, this thing would certainly smash a window out to escape ~
I did end up returning the SwissTech and keeping the Kodiak. The SwissTech is a very solid flashlight but the deciding factor for keeping the Kodiak was that you don't have to remove the battery to charge it. It was more of a convenience for me. But I had absolutely no complaints with the SwissTech.
@@SurvivingtheDaily Thanks! Was at my store today... no Kodiak. Might try a larger store tho.. I'd like to at least check it out, while i could still return the swisstech. I have found that it doesn't need frequent charging for how i am using it (nearly always on Low).
Thanks again 👍 ~
@@georgehofgren6123 let me know how you make out!
I’m getting the Swiss tech because of everything this man just said. I like the water tight overall all build and finish and the self defense aspect
Just got a swisstech, loving it so far. Great construction. Looking into getting as much swisstech gear as I can
Great video..very cool & very bright lights..always need light to be prepared..
I know you will agree that you can never have too many flashlights. Thank you!
nice Kershaw I EDC the same one.
That knife is a personal favorite. Nothing special about it but its been to hell and back with me.
Hey bro I just got my kodiak flashlight from Walmart same one as you but I threw away the recipe and packaging do you know anyone that can help me take it apart to fix it since Walmart won't let me trade it out or refund me
That's a bum deal man. I'm sorry that you got a broken one from the get go. Best advice I can offer is to buy another one and return the broken one in the new packaging. It's a little underhanded but it's an expensive flashlight.
Glad I bought a Fenix.
You're much better off
@@SurvivingtheDaily The lights in the video seemed to flicker at moments. Was that the camera recording or the flashlight?
They were definitely flickering. Cheap LEDs. I have moved on to better lighting and sound since this video.
Thank you,
You are welcome!
Looks like the Kodiak is a cold light VS soft light idk if that's the case I know it's a thing , I'm getting the swiss for Christmas but I wish I'd check the stats first under 300m throw not good all flood I've already picked out another search light with less lumen that looks brighter and throws 750 plus yards with some flood and only 5500 lumen I think a lot of manufacturers lie about lm I have some that say they do over 100,000 lumen lucky if they are 1000 lumen
You're right about some manufacturers that lie about the amount of lumens. Usually those are the Chinese based companies trying to sell their product with deception. But lumens isn't the whole story with flashlights and how far they throw. You can have a high lumen light with low candela which equates to a short throw and big flood of light. Alternatively, you can have a lower lumen light with high candela which will give you a long throw and more of a targeted beam with less flood. Both of these lights are low candela but the Kodiak seems, judging with the naked eye, to have a little more. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the candela rating for either of these flashlights.
@@SurvivingtheDaily yeah I couldn't find that either
heavy duty use, very cool.
Two very decent flashlights. I was impressed. Thanks for watching!
"Zuverlässig" is German for 'Reliable.' I hope that it is, because I ordered one yesterday. 😁
Thanks much for the review. 👍
Thank you for watching. Please let me know how you like it!
@@SurvivingtheDaily Will do! 👍
@@SurvivingtheDaily Okay, so I now own TWO of these. The first flashlight arrived with a defective power bank (either the 4th LED was defective or it just wasn't accepting a charge), and I was instructed by Customer Service to discard it, after which they issued me a refund (which I then used to purchase the second flashlight 🔦😃🔦).
Both flashlights look flawless and work beautifully (imo); the first one uses 9 fresh Duracell Optimum AA's, while the second one is powered by its (fully charged) power bank.
Before the replacement arrived I used the 9xAA-powered flashlight around the house (for maybe a total of 5 minutes altogether) and thought to myself, "a power bank-powered light can't *possibly* be brighter than this." (I've never owned/used a flashlight anywhere near as bright as the Zuverlässig, regardless of what's powering it.)
I was wrong: the flashlight with the Li-ion power bank IS definitely much brighter when both are switched on, side by side, and in the same mode. I'm a very happy camper. Thanks again for making/uploading this video! 🤗
Unfortunately. There are a few American made lights on the market but nothing even close to this price point. That I'm aware of.
@@SurvivingtheDaily Quite true. And honestly? If 1) the product's price point fits my budget, AND 2) it performs to my expectations, I could care less where it's manufactured.
I know the camera doesn’t do much justice but about how far does the flashlight reach? can you see very far or is it mainly for just a couple hundred feet?
It had illuminated the tree line which I believe was further away than the length of a football field. Minimum 100 yards.
@@SurvivingtheDaily wow, very impressive. I appreciate the response! Thank you
@@chrisluvsu656 feet that 200 meter or 217 yard
Kershaw Cryo? How do you like it? Nice review.
outstanding you are indeed thank you honest indeed you are as well :
Thank you Jade. 😁 I appreciate it.
@@SurvivingtheDaily i as well going to order due to your professionalism :
i broke the charging lort on the kodiak and there is no way to fix it 😭
Buy another one and return the broken one. 😂
The light is garbage if you cannot replace the battery
had two of swisstech lights.would not buy another they dont last.
First and foremost I can tell you it is not the most powerful flashlight it is not 3,000 lumens. My Coast HP550 is Brighter an has a tighter range. On high id say its hitting the 950- 1000 with its tightest focus(Not saying it isn't bright) My HP550 hits 1100. But what I will say good about this flashlight is that for $40 it comes with a 5200mAh power bank/Battery. Which is very nice the construction seems pretty good and I like the design. BUT NOT the most POWERFUL FLASHLIGHT in Walmart.
I know there are better ways to measure the output of flashlights, ie candela, but unfortunately they are required to only market them using lumens. With that said, these two flashlights are two highest lumen output at MY Walmart. Your mileage may vary.
I appreciate the input, Bill, and thank you for watching!!!
@@SurvivingtheDaily Yes lumens are the total output light it throws into the room, Not how far it can throw a beam, Those 2 flashlights Don't have a tight focus, but are good for lighting up a backyard, or a large room.
No USB C forget it.
🤣🤣 Walmart hadn't caught up to 2023.
I like the swiss tech better
It is a pretty decent light. No complaints.
Russian, пожалуйста скажи, складной нож в ролике это Gerber ou Kershaw
It's the Kershaw Cryo. I've had it for years and has never let me down.
Russian. по русски говорят, старый друг лучше новых двух.
@@antongorbonosov9065 I like that. It is so very true.
Russian. да полностью согласен, я тоже давно понял , что не всегда большой складной нож это хорошо или полезно.
That is a lesson that I myself have learned very recently. Sometimes smaller is in fact better than bigger.
Those Kodiak are garbage.
