[4K Review] NexTool 6-in-1 multifunctional flashlight review by Dan TDM

When NexTool make a flashlight they make a flashlight…

Who are the designers? Hank, Vinh and Bear Grylls?

I have a question, how does one turn On or Off the alarm / siren sound, when in flashing (red/white) side-light mode?

My unit does not produce any alarm sound, or maybe I haven't figured a way to activate it yet..

very short video below (pardon background rain sound):

Update: finally figured out how to activate the alarm siren sound (wasn't too clear basing from the instructions), requires HOLDING the button for a LONGER time from the Off position. (Holding the side button will turn on the light, just keep holding longer until the siren activates)

You should also be able to long hold from on to activate the siren

I see. Thanks! The flashlight’s simple documentation didn’t include English instructions, so it’s a bit difficult to decipher what is meant from the pictures in the documentation… Perhaps Nextool would be good to have at least a bilingual instructions (Chinese/English) for international market…

(Their Nextool XHP50.2 flashlight used to come only with Chinese instructions, I believe the latest batches now include English instructions)

Yep, they are certainly missing a trick. The 6 in 1 and 50.2 are great lights too so they should take advantage.

Hello
I received this 6-1 light a few days ago.
I’m unable to switch from side light back to front light. I don’t even know how I switched from front to side light in the first place, I just know I’m now stuck.
I looked at the 3 video, including the one from d_t_a, when he switches instantly from side to front light; I just can’t.

Does somebody clearly know the different “pushes” and their effect ?

Thanks a lot for any help

Just double tap

Ok, I think it’s broken - don’t see any other reason.

What a crap - have some klarus & olight, they have fallen more than once and are still perfectly working (do cost more though)

Thanks anyway !

Found the manual:

Short press 0.5 seconds to lighting mode
Click to switch between high and low brightness

Double click to switch to side lamp

Long press 2.5 seconds to alarm mode


I'll add some info, based on my testing:

from Off: short-press 0.5 seconds to turn ON light at the last used mode (both whether main light or side light, and also the "mode" of the main light or side light is remembered)

while ON: single-click to cycle:
- if main light: High -> Med -> Low -> High
- if side light: Low (white) -> High (white) -> Red -> Flashlight Red/White -> Low (white)

from On (main light / side light) :
- quick double-press to toggle main light & side light
- short-press 0.5 seconds to turn OFF

from On/Off (Siren/Alarm mode):
- long-press 2.5 seconds to go into siren/alarm mode
"siren alarm" mode = the main light & side light will flash (in sync with alarm sound), the side light cycles from red -> green -> blue -> "white" -> red
- while in Siren mode, it will require a long-press 2.5 seconds to turn Off
- while in Siren mode, there is no other action possible (single-click or double-click will not do anything), the only action is long-press to Turn Off
