Anyone else have the rubber USB cover come completely out? Can’t seem to get it back in either, tried with a flat tip dental tool but no luck, poked about 8 holes through the end of the rubber post trying. The cover kept pulling open when I’d draw the light from clipped to the inside of my pocket. I don’t like the USB cover on this.
Also my light cuts out if you smack the tail, found this out using the magnetic tail, when I stick it to a metal surface it cuts out a for split second. I tried stretching the spring but no luck, I think it’s just the length and weakness of the spring. It’s not a big deal doesn’t really bother me, just wondered if anyone else noticed this.
I clip inside the pant pocket, so when I grasp the light by the head to draw it out I’m grasping it over the rubber. I always index my pocket clips on side switch lights to the natural gap between my thumb and forefinger when my thumb is resting on the switch, (since I’m right handed this puts the clip just to the left of the switch) I do this in order to quickly locate the switches and for comfort when holding.
One thing I could do on this light is place the clip directly opposite the switch, over the USB cover, then it would act as a protector for the cover. But on this light the clip rotates too easy, it doesn’t stay put, so it doesn’t always remain where I place it. Not sure how I’m going to get the cover back in anyhow.
Does the cover have some kind of ball shape on the end to keep it from being pulled out completely? Have you tried a tiny bit of grease to try and push it back in?
Yes it has the ball on the end, no I haven’t tried grease, good call, thanks. I’ve got to get the right tool that wont keep poking through the rubber like the dental pick I’m using, I’ll try a cut off round toothpick with some super lube next. But the cover on this doesn’t fit as flush and tight as others do.
My cover came off too but I was able to push it back in the first time using a round end dental tool. I think it may help if the tool is close to the same diameter as the hole. I don’t like this cover much either but whadda ya want for this price.
It also looks like the jaxmnve store has a new model clone light with the same UI as the M3 clone. It’s an 18650 adjustable head light with built in charging. Looks a bit like a Rofis.
