FW3A, a TLF/BLF EDC flashlight - SST-20 available, coupon codes public

I don’t doubt they most likely fit and I believe mine will, but remember there is no such thing as 30Q button top. :wink: if there’s a button, it’s because someone modified the battery. Meaning the dimensions could vary.

Now that I have my aluminum FW3As, I find myself wanting one in polished titanium :heart_eyes:

If the retaining ring is more than finger tight it will break those sh!tty HF snap ring pliers. I’ve broken all 8 from 2 plier sets on one pill. Spend the money for a decent set, it’s cheaper in the long run.

Hello my dear friends!

i made a small review of the FW3A (3D tint)

Totally unrelated….your signature line - from one of my all time favorite movies. You cook good rabbit, pilgrim…

Watch your top-knot………

It would look nice with a copper head. :stuck_out_tongue:

You skin griz pilgrim?

You know what I would like?

A copper plated FW3A.

And guess which light is going to be my 2nd prototype for a copper plated light?
My FW3A. :blush: :blush: :blush:

I’ve actually manage to copper plate an aluminium light very recently, and everything worked out wonderfully! :money_mouth_face:

I wish I could show you a picture guys, but I’m planning to make a huge post in my thread about it, and keep it as a surprise.

Awesome. It probably looks really nice. :slight_smile:

I used to know a guy who did research on how to add a chrome layer to things. He figured out a method which works on virtually anything, and to prove it, he chromed a teddy bear. Like, fur and everything. It was one of the oddest things I’ve ever seen.

I wonder whatever happened to him.

Yeah. It was stupid hard to make a formulation that actually worked on aluminium, and using materials that could be commonly found.
It also was a test to my skills of chemistry and electrochemistry.

About that guy though, there are probably 2 ways to think what happened:

1. He got employed at an electroplating company, and got a very nice pay. :slight_smile:
2. He got hurt by hexavalent chromium poisoning. :frowning:

OK
will talk about this, also copper

Omg I’m gonna go broke, glad I have another 12 30Q’s coming from BG…

YAY!!! :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:

Would definitely buy a copper version.

Does this mean some of us who ordered the 7A will not receive them or that no additional orders for 7A are appropriate? I ordered both 7A and 3D and am wondering; it is confirmed but not shipped. 330 is not a lot with so many buying these lights. BTW, you can go to Neal’s site and still add 7A to your cart, so I am a bit confused.
Concerning the shipping by DHL comments, my previous battery orders have been coming DHL to USA probably due to international shipping regulations. Those of us who bought batteries and lights might be in a different category from flashlights only, but maybe not. Either way, I hope the orders arrive complete for all of us. And thanks to the team who made this flashlight possible. Exciting time!

After the holiday we will ask the supplier if they have 7A led available,of available then will ship

If 7A is not available, people would probably also like 5A and 2A. :slight_smile:

I ordered 7a to have +–3000k. If not available sst20 3000k will be fine also (at 6 bucks discount :slight_smile: ).

The clip looks and feels good in the hand, but I do notice this smoke chrome finish is bad about collecting oil from your fingers.

The clip is stainless steel, right? I don’t think the raw finished clips showed fingerprints. This might be a good reason to go back to the raw finish.
