Better because for $28 you could get up to 3.5A potted and regulated and modes setup any way you wanted. Not saying that nailbender’s stuff is bad, but there are equal and/or better options available for less. If you checked out the link I posted above you would see why your next one shouldn’t be a nailbender.

I am now shipping to Canada if anyone’s interested.
I got some 5C tint XMLs man are they nice
XML 5C ————————XML 4B————————XML 3C—————————XML 1A
Got some solarforce drop ins from itc_shop on ebay = jo from solarforceflashlight-sales.com paid for them on 6-7-2012 and received them today 6-14-2012!!!
Oh. I noticed that I actually ordered what look slike ZB4719, but got AU4719. Let's see what DD CS says about this.. ;)
I think AU looks even better, so I shouldn't be complaining..
ZB:
AU:
BTW: Why is there no love for this knife? Didn't find real reviews or anything.. And I was very surprised about how good it looks & feels. Small, quite thin, and with unique design. What's not to love?
The threads were nice and lubed, glass lense, and metal reflector. Great price just over $8. Ordered 5-26-12, received 6-14-12. Waiting for dark to compare with the small sun zy-c10-s
First thing I couldn't help but notice is this thing is huge [12.63" (L) x 5.25" (W) x 3" (H)]. So now I need to quickly read the manual and start the long process of charging 12 Tenergy 10000mAh batteries.
More neutral, the pictures a little misleading they are much closer to the 3C than it looks. There really easy on the eyes, it’s my new favorite tint. I got three to try out but I think I am going to keep them all and get some more to sell. I have a feeling these are going to sell out quick. Here is the link.
aL1, there is nothing about a nailbender to “copy”. He uses standard, easily available parts that the rest of use. We all pretty much make the same exact pills he does, I know I do. The driver he uses is the most popular one here we all use. He uses the same pills, the same emitters. I use silver plated copper strand wires with silicone casing on mine. Not sure he does though. Many of us pot our drivers as well just like he does, nothing he invented. Everything in his lights is standard off-the-shelf components. He provides a good service for those who are either unable or don’t know how to solder for themselves. As long as they don’t have a problem paying anywhere from $40-$65 for the service then I don’t have a problem. Hell, I’m envious he is able to get that much for what is essentially $15-$20 in materials and 10 minutes of time.
Erik (E1320) will add or remove AMC7135 chips to the boards to customize their output for the customer. He will even custom program the drivers providing 6 modes from firefly all the way to crazy bright, with or without memory and with no flashy modes. This is something you cannot get from nailbender. If you don’t want that he will set the modes using the Nanjg mode selection stars just like nailbender and the rest of us do. That is what makes his better than a “nailbender” and he does it for $28 with your choice of tint. Many others here do exactly the same on our own personal dropins, adding chips and/or custom programming, we just don’t offer our skills for sale because most of us don’t have the time to take on the extra work. For those that can’t do it themselves, Erik’s work is top-notch, as good as or better than nailbenders, and a steal for what little he charges for his time and labor.
Yesterday I received an order for 5 copper XM-L PCB blank stars from DX for $3.80. Placed the order on 5/24, received 6/14.
Last weekend my lady and I went to the outlet mall where there is a Timex outlet store. I got a couple watches for Father's day. First is a simple field watch for $24. Excellent little time piece and the Indiglo is amazing. The second is a chrono from their classic collection. Sells for $100-$150 anywhere else. I paid $44. Again with Indiglo but not as bright as the field watch due to the navy face. I used to be into complex do-everything watches with all the wizbang features you could squeeze into it but I'm back to appreciating the simple watches.
