Manker MK35 Prototype, Review link in the first post

Looks to me like Manker has been reading BLF! Good for them! I’m not personally looking for a thrower, but always interested to see how they perform!

Hold on… That’s the button Utorch uses for the U21 clone instead of the rubber cartoon faced button Manker uses… And now Manker is using this button? Well, it looks like the Chinese have the same type of twisted humor I have… Nice!

The Klarus G20 is the same too, its really just a rudimentary lighted button.

I Ike the manker dragons eye button much better. I think it’s clear by now that manker and utorch are one in the same.

They have been reading alright and copying whatever they could.

Looking at it the head might be a bit small for tn42 competition. Maybe they’ll get the throw with the extra output. I’m certainly interested in this!

I guess most people here we want to hear the intensity #

I don’t think so, given the “disgusting” comments that Manker did on the Utorch threads

looks like what, about 90mm head?

Well, as long as they’re copying features that we like, and do it with quality for a decent budget price, I’m all for it! I’m not saying they’ve succeeded in all those areas, just hoping/wishing they would. :innocent:

Are we talking about 4x18650 or……;-)?

That was just one comment and it was one of the first in the thread. I believe that was for show. The the only way they are a copy is if one of the top dogs of manker split and ran with everything. It’s possible but hmmm? When looking at the whole story it makes more sense for the two to be related. These are just my thoughts though. I understand other explanations exist.

That’d be my guess. I think the TN42 is 100mm, the TN31 is 80 so this looks like a spot somewhere in the middle. Maybe 1000m throw is all we can expect and I’ll still have to buy the TN42

Looks a bit like the K70 or maybe its just me?

[will34]

Sweet! I’ll wait for the disgusting version.

A little bit in the bezel yeah (or a lot)

Sometimes copies are made by the sub-contracted factory.

Seeing as the BLF GT is never going to be made, this may be a good alternative depending on price.

[blueb8llz]

Don’t see why companies don’t make a bigger head than than tn42? If the niwalker and manker would have done this, there could be a lot more sales for them. Who doesn’t want a light than can dethrone the tn42.

@hIKARInoob

MK35?

…or maybe UT03?

TN42 Reflector is 88mm inside to inside.
