EagTac D25A shows how to do it. Still no full circle, but almost. Along with a low profile switch this is the perfect solution to tail clicky candles. Anything less isn’t really working very well; They could as well have omitted the ring completely, having an all around accessible switch (like Armytek). I dislike compromises that doesn’t work well in either way.
@ Bilakos: Grind the plier ends into a point with a metal hand file. Worked for me 
It will. If it’s too long, just add a circle of paperclip or metal wire in the tailcap end. The threads are quite long and it takes virtually any cell from factory.
My snap ring pliers seem to be coated / hardened, so a metal file will do minimal damage.
I would preferably use an angle grinder than start filing for 2 hours 
I added some wall beamshots and I also realized that the light diffuse glows in the dark :P
Just received my Lumintop Tool AA V2.0 from Amazon. First of all the tint is pure white. Second it is bright. Very bright just using an eneloop battery. It makes the V1.0 seem to have only moon modes. Very pleased with my purchase. Recommended.
/\… Glad it worked out 264.
Glad it worked out nicely for you 
Definitely a great EDC!
Some people give one star because they think the price is too high.
Some give one star because delivery took too long.
Point being, many people don’t review the product itself.

You knew when you know what you bought.
That sounds bad so let me explain.
The light itself is good. Everything promised is in the package. The output and runtime are as advertised. It’s also really waterproof (I tested that in my bathtub). Build quality is good.
But yeah that doesn’t mean you will like it. You could for example hate the tint. Some people on Amazon rate the light because the light has exactly the tint they ordered, but simply don’t like the tint.
The AAA and AA version were my fist small and tiny lights. I like them and as for me that means a new search starts for a better replacement. Aspheric lens and high CRI for example.
Based on the good feedback, I just ordered one to add to my growing collection of 14500 lights. The smaller lights are impressive and just plain cool to me. Perfect for my use inside the house, in the garage, and will even do for the backyard, though I prefer my C8s for outside. With the new Vapcell 1000 mAh battery, run times should be good.
Just be aware that it doesn’t have LVP , I always use protected cells in the tool AA , I once ran down a 14500 to under 2 volts.
In my experience most of the 1 and some 2 star ratings are either don’t know how to use, or unrealistic expectations. There are a few outright failures, and if there are too many of those I move on.
Check out the Sofirn C01 in their Aliexpress store. AAA, Yugi high CRI, 60° beam angle for nice even beam, choice of 3400K/5200K emitters. And a sub $10 price.

It is what Amazon does with returns. Some people buy the returns and resell them on Ebay and Amazon.
That’s correct.
The Vapecell 14500 is one of the best in its category.
It’s highly likely that you will even get a better turn-on lumen performance
That’s something I forgot to mention.
Indeed there is no LVP. To my knowledge, it quite a common practice on flashlights that use a boost/fet driver and accept both NiMH and LiION cells.
OP, you haven't measured output with a NiMH battery, have you? I'm not planning on using 14500, so it would be helpful.
Mine tail stands just fine. I even tried a little nudge perpendicular to the open portion of the ring and it settled right back to upright.
And I don’t believe the Tool AAA ever claimed to be able to tail stand just for that reason. [You can always just stand it up in a shot glass. Not totally vertical but still ceiling bounces just fine.]
Does anyone know where I can find an electronic version of the user manual. I like to keep electronic versions when I can because my paper manuals all seem to disappear. I usually put them back in whatever container the light came in then store that somewhere, and promptly forget where that was.
I loved the Tool AA so much I bought two. Just wanted to know are there any runtime graphs available for this light
How can you tell if the Tool AA is the 1st of 2nd version?
