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:
Drilled two holes, then tapped them with a tap at work… Alignment is not perfect but it does what it’s supposed to.
I didn’t use any bolt, but I grinded the stock alu washer in the tailcap because the screws were a bit long
Thank you very much for your answer mate
I guess I will try first on my “old” Tool AA, so that I can perfect it when I get the new one! And eventually with a new type of washer
I liked this method and if you don’t mind I may borrow it!
Hey, the B in BLF might be for “borrowing”, who knows ?
One small advice though : make your holes slightly farther from the tail. That way if your screws are protruding in the tailcap, you can rotate your switch to aligne the flat side of the Omten with the screws
