We refer to standard threads as right-hand where righty=tighty and lefty=loosey.
I will update post for those not familiar with this convention.
Thanks bansuri!
I quoted your post because I remembered someone (=you 
) had posted that information into the thread and I wanted to make it more visible as I forgot to mention that on the text review on post #1!
We are normally used to loose the pills towards left and tighten towards right, but these 2 lights are the opposite (need to turn it clockwise to unscrew)! So thanks of the heads up, and also for the edit/clarification on your post.
Itās a sad day when you find out the hard way that a threaded component spins opposite of what you expect. Donāt ask how I know!
Did youā¦ruin a part of your light because of that? :zipper_mouth_face:
Sorry if you did 
And I hope you have is solved yet!
Not this one, I think I learned that lesson on a tailcap switch on another light. Now I check both ways.
Glad these arenāt glued.
Still havenāt modded, not sure what to swap to. So many choices.
Been using it as-is, tint is acceptable for a cool tint. Weāve seen worse.
Ufff, I thought you had a problem with the Tool! :zipper_mouth_face: Glad you donāt! :+1:
Nop, nothing is glued, just like on the V1.0! It is very mod-friendly! Apart from those flaps in the driver/pill and the smaller diameter of the aluminum MCPCB, which are also easily modable!
The CW tint is not the worst, specially if compared to the V1.0 that had huge tint shift (and that terrible PWM)! The new versions are improved and I only wish they had no memory! I will put a new driver someday to solve that :innocent:
A warmer/neutral tint will also make it better!
Like this light (tool aa v2.0) apart from UI. I thought with the memory mode, I can leave it in Turbo. But when you switch off and on with in 3 seconds it will advance to next mode. Wish it has double click and triple click access in UI.
Is there anyway or mod for direct access turbo or strobe?
Wow itās great review!
Thank you
Yup, between 0-3 seconds it changes the modes if you click ON <> OFF ! Not the worst but Iāve seen better!
With this driver it is not possible to reach those 2 modes immediately. Well, the turbo only if you leave it on that mode before switching OFFā¦The strobe, not possible.
For that youād need to change be the driver for a more flexible UI.
Thank you 
Finally . iāve got my Tool25 last week. Didnāt have much time to play with but i must say iām happy itās easy to mod.
Several driver sizes can be squeezed in
Still waiting for ToolAA 2.0 thoughā¦
Cool
Yup, it is easy to mod, despite the āsmallā space it has! Have you decided about the driver and LED already?
Iām still waiting for the drivers of MTN to be in stock again to order some for the AA 2.0 and other lights :weary:
Yeah iām also in stand by waiting for MTN but for other stuff.
I have assembled my requirements for 2S Bistro driver 15mm so i will place an order with Lexel. And iāll take one 15mm Bistro single cell for ToolAA
Emitters wise iāll try Osram W1 in ToolAA and shaved 351D 5000K 90CRI in Tool25
Nice The Osram will look nice on that little light
I will probably put the Luxeon V2 I have laying around!
For the Tool 25ā¦Iām still thinking :zipper_mouth_face: But it is good to know that Lexel drivers will work! I will have to get some for the 2 AA lights I wanna mod :smiling_imp:
Go for it! with 2x14500 youāll have more BLING BLING!
Thank you for your help MascaratumB. 2 days ago I received parts from Lumintop, order reflector and centering ring, apparently they also sent the lens. Excellent after sales service from Lumintop. I installed Luxeon V2 4000K, tint is good but thereās a hint of green in the beam, this must be because of the AR lens. My Sofirn SP10B with same led showing no green.
After all, very happy that my White Panda is alive, just remember, turn right to unscrew
Hey that is a nice looking head
As I said in PM, youāll get some green, and the best way to avoid it would be with a TIR optic. I used my Tool AA V1 with one because the LED (Luxeon V) was damaged and had a stain which could be seen in the beam. So I took the reflector out a put a TIR and it improved immediately
Not so bright, but better
I do think that the panda white with that warm colour will look awesome
Glad it helped andā¦you now know that the pill will unscrew right 
Some info about these flashlightsā pills and PCBs!
Andā¦honey, I just modded the flashlight 
The Tool AA V2.0, I mean! But the Tool 25 will follow 
The LED was changed. I opted for a Samsung LH351D instead of tge XP-L HD CW led! Much better! It has a slight yellowish shift under an SMO reflector, but it is barely noticeable in the highest outputs!
Driver and LED installed
I decided to make a gathering between the Convoy lighted switch and the On The Road tail cap (that is slightly transparent) to have a lighted tailcap 
Oh, I also joined an Olight M1T pocket clip so that we have a great flashlight party
See how the story ends here: What did you mod today? - #8494 by MascaratumB
Hey MascaratumB, great review as always, especially liking the backdrop colour coordination.
The āmoonlightā is too bright for me though and is a deal breaker, however Iām tempted to get some AA v2.0 as hosts. Donāt suppose you have a Reylight Ti LAN or Pineapple and can check if the driver fits? Rey tells me the driver is 14.6mm so they should fit.
Hi hodor!
Thanks for your words
About your question, I can only reply based on this.
A while ago (2 years?) I ordered some drivers from Rey. I believe they were from the 2nd or 3rd batch of his Pineapple light.
Below I show you how it compares with the driver from the LT Tool AA V2.0 .
Those drivers (from taht time) āwhineā on the highest modes and have PWM (under the camera, at least, and while shaking the flashlight!).
Currently I donāt know how they behave, I believe Rey has probably improved on that!
This said:

Comparison between drivers:
Alongside the Tool AA pill:
Levels and PWM (open in new window if you need to check):
Hope this helps in some way!
I believe they may fit in diameter, even if you need to apply some solder or to file the driver. But, if the new drivers have ā2 floorsā it may be more complicated. I donāt have a āfreeā pill to test it, otherwise I would confirm!
Nice work again
