Too bad I missed the ultratac a1. This has no mode memory. For small edc lights with 14500 power and no shortcuts, I always prefer no mode memory now.
For the money I also prefer the convoy t2, which is available in warm white.
Both of these have the same mediocre clip as well. I guess I pass on the AA tool. I just bought a copper Tool AA which I kinda like. Except I also had to take of the clip. Also it is not CW.
Will the mode memory on the tool remember that it sits one position before strobe, or will strobe alwaysstay hidden behind 6 clicks?
Same! I did both and just couldn’t notice it with my eyes. However, I could notice PWM on the Tool AAA on low mode. The Tool AA must have very unnoticeable PWM if it has it.
Way too thin IMO. The clip is easily detachable from the flashlight, plus it’s too narrow so it won’t accept a jeans pocket for example.
Here is what I’ve done to mine :
Thanks for your comments! Seems like the clip is an issue for quite a number of people. I put it in my jeans pocket and it fits fine and hasn’t come off once.
I also don’t like mode memory (I wonder what’s the logic behind manufacturers including it??) but thankfully, strobe is properly hidden and will not be memorised.
I’ve got one coming and need to get a couple of high mAh protected batteries for it. Any fit problem when using a protected 14500, like the Orbtronic or Keeppower 840 mAh?
Hey hi, I cannot say for sure because I don’t have those exact batteries to test it out but I believe the Lumintop 14500 that was sent together for the purpose of this review is protected so I believe you won’t have a problem with protected cells.
Wow that’s a mean looking clip! Now I can understand why you said the default clip is too thin and not strong enough. I’ll feedback this to Lumintop. They’re very accepting of users’ feedback and improving their lights based on feedback
Hum, any info on how did you this X3?
Any specific drill thickness? Did you use bolt and nut?
I am thinking about getting a new Tool AA 2.0 and the clip is always the headache in this light :person_facepalming:
Not sure if I will be doing something similar to what you’ve done, but I appreciate any info on this :innocent:
