If the flashlight doesn't have memory, wouldn't that actually alleviate the issue of having to guess the setting? If I know it goes low-high-strobe-medium, there's no chance of actually going to strobe or something I don't want to. I actually prefer a "dumb" light so I'm curious about that.
That's actually a really great point. You're right. It does have memory. But the problem is that it always advances. I wish that, after entering a constant on, it would return to that mode the next time you turn the light on.
@@BestDamnEDC I have their X11 ??? keychain light. Nothing amazing but I pull it out more than my other lights....because it's right there ! My question is , did you check the compasses against a reliable compass ? If they are reliable then that may be the cost factor. Someone from Wazoo was talking on a video about the very difficult time they had finding an accurate one.
I got really excited when I saw some EDC compasses on the table. Then I noticed that they're just cheap, plastic, liquid filled compasses inserted into a metal casing. I was hoping for something of better quality. You can get 24 of them for $10 on Amazon.
The watch strap light might be more usefull if you rotate the watch to the under side of the wrist while using it. That way the flashlight will be on top of the wrist not obstructed by the heal of your palm. 🤔
Some of us wear our watch face on the inside of our wrist all of the time (so I was thinking the same as you, the light would make more sense on the top of the wrist instead of on the inside)
Hey dude. I was thinking about the watchband mounted light and had a couple ideas. First, it might be useful inasmuch as providving a redundant light source (2 is 1,1 is none...). Second, what about holding a notebook, etc. in your watch hand and writing with the other? It would illuminate the notebook, map, device, whatever that you're holding in your 'weak side' hand. Make any sense? As far as the copper compass, it looks really cool and with a small carabiner or piece of paracord might work hanging from your neck, B.O.B, belt pack, or whatever. I agree they're kinda expensive, but I do see potential for usability.
on the CPL-T It looked liked you could change the orientation of unit with those 4 bottom screws. Is that possible? I think it makes more sense to have the led shooting out from the outside of the wrist. There would be no obstructions to output and its the same orientation as if you were checking the time on your watch.
I have the watch light. So far its working well And nice to just have a light I dont even notice. It is tough to get it to where your hand is not covering some if not all. But wish it had set screws so as not to slide while wearing or slide off when taking the watch off.
I've got a set of 1/8th inch bit drivers. They were really cheap in a set from the hardware stop. Had the sized torque bits I needed to service a knife.
When do lume shots you should try using a uv flashlight to charge up the lume on watches or anything else that's needs to be charged for it to work.uv light will charge the lume much much faster and will give the best results.standard flashlights don't really put out the proper type of light for good lume charging being that the lume is designed to charge in sunlight hence the reason why a uv light works best.
I really like that little copper flashlight, except you can’t operate it with one hand. The aluminum version has knurling to allow for that. In retrospect, I wish I had got the aluminum one (lighter and cheaper too). The copper one isn’t heavy, but the aluminum one is one of the lightest flashlights available (only 10 grams). The operation is very intuitive and simple. Plenty bright for such a tiny light (any brighter and it would just get way too hot), although I would prefer a warmer hi cri option. Also, they need to stop coating these lights. People buy copper because they want it to patina. I sanded mine, so hopefully that will work.
Anybody prefer flashlights that aren't rechargable by USB only, in favour of ones with removable batteries so you can charge as many as possible in SHTF? Or better yet, ones that take AA batteries for a small bugout torch? You can stack up quite a few batteries then. What do you do when SHTF and your battery runs out of charge...??
Copper flashlight and watchband compass okay, the rest no way flashlight has no memory starting at low I like than high I kind of like that feature, but not for $90.00
Should be P.O.S.-16. For $90 the interface is all wrong. Why have to cycle? Who decided on it? Just doesnt make sense. I have to disassemble the light to charge it?2000 lumens for 30 seconds seems useless. I dont know how much I would use that light if it were given to me.
What a collection of overpriced, badly designed trash. The NERVE this company has to charge ridiculous prices for EDC that works so poorly. 75 bucks for a wristband flashlight 😂. I wouldn't carry this crap even if it were free.
WOW yet again more examples that you guys stateside are spoiled something silly with US only exclusives when it comes to things like these b'coz not once have I seen items like these available for sale here in the UK seems like we draw the short straw YET AGAIN
Dude, 90 dollars for that flashlight? Bruh... just save up for tge surefire. You can't miss it, it's like one of their smallest ones, but anyhow, all these other brands are just talk, save up the extra 50 bucks, or check the used market. That shit that he showed is utter garbage and streamlights laughing

The little knife looks good taping cars and doing decal work.

@Mr_ E54 well, for $55 it atleast should be good quality? that is what is expected.
I want those pictures of spider watch on my desk TODAY!!! thanks so much for the video it's a great way to end a Monday
I don't think anyone got this, but I did lol
That discord is genius that's how I got the note that you have new video up.
I saw this a bit late but your run down on the products was pretty accurate. Thanks for the showcase
Always nice to see my name scroll up at the end of the videos! 👍👍👍
Great video bro! Thank you for getting new gear all the time.

I thought you were gonna say carry proud. Not carry on. Damn lost a 5 dollar bet. Good video
What if you draw your pistol? Can the light work in that position toward target?

I have a Mec Army copper compass. They do make it. And the flashlight was less expensivewhen I got mine. And they make a nice copper carabiner also.

i am sold on the watch band light. I want to feel like Spider-Man!
Another great video keep up the great work!
I've got a set of 1/8th inch bit drivers. They were really cheap in a set from the hardware stop. Had the sized torque bits I needed to service a knife.
Awesome video, very informative, thank you
Good review, but please would you put a warning when demonstrating the strobe, because strobing lights can affect me. Thank you.
Couldn't help but notice that brass shackle on your keyring. It's badass! What size is it, and where did you get it? I'd love to pick one up!

I just discovered your other Chanel. Why did you stop! I really liked it
Can't u twist the watchlamp 90 degrees?
Sorry, HOW much for that watch band light???
What kind of watch is that your wearing?

What watch is thst?
Just in case for those who don’t know the watch flash lights are rechargeable these days
Nice bike😊
Got to admit, the spiderman comment broke me up.
Glad you are branching out and exploring more but you still have many video and description problems in your videos but great work.
K
High West Double Rye is my EDC.
I prefer Cammenga's Tritium Lensatic Compass, it's part of my Vehicle's full time gear,
there tritium beads would be sick on a flashlight
Any recommendations on a pen light with strobe mode and memory 🤔
MecArmy SGN3 Flashlight EDC is the best

Umm Taylor all those flash lights have lanyard holders lol🤣
Key ring hole is not a lanyard hole.
A copper flashlight...meh.
Now a copper fleshlight, that’s something i could really get into 🤪
more like "get behind" wayoooo

Had a CMP from massdrop. It fell apart within 2 days. Absolute rubbish.

man this mecarmy stuff you showed was pretty much garbage. That sucks because they have such a cool name.
over priced
the watchband stuff is utter useless crap... most of it is anyway.
who buys that crap?
