Not really but it’s an entry level rotatable head light with decent build quality. Magnet is weak. UI is weak. Color is weak. Worth $10 but not much more IMNSHO.
I would like better odds than 50/50. I never buy something unless I intend to keep it. Buying it just to try it is abusing the return policy.
From my experience with the N7:
It has a pretty limited UI/modes; only 2 useful ones (“high” & “low”) and strobe and SOS. The hotspot is also pretty narrow (although there is a bit of wide spill), so it’s more suited to lighting things up a bit further away than it does for things close up, which might limit its use as a headlight.
Build quality is actually pretty decent; it feels quite well built, head strap is fine and the ‘twisting mechanism’ also feels pretty solid. The tail magnet is also strong enough, so it will stay in place when used that way,
So all in all it’s not a bad flashlight/headlight, with “dual fuel” (AA+14500), somewhat versatile, but with some limitations in therms of UI/levels. (For the mentioned $ 10,50 I would consider it a good deal in terms of price/performance, but it doesn’t tick all the boxes of what (I think) the general ‘flashlight enthousiast’ wants.)

I bit the bullet. If it is terrible only then I will return it. I don’t have any rotatable light, and I think I like that ability. Only concern from what you said about it, for me is the narrow hot spot to make it less useful up close. I wonder if the lens can be modified to make it more spilly. Worst case, dull up the lens, from outside in and checking the output periodically until you are happy with the pattern or to light up like a diffused light source

How about that diffusion film that is talked about here? Haven’t used it but seems pretty popular.
Did anyone else order one of these?
It’s a nice gauge, in a slick package. Wouldn’t have regretted paying full price for it, never mind half off.
However, my unit gives readings on the low side, compared to the other gauges I have, both digital and analog, all of which give consistent readings. Of course, there is the possibility they may all be consistently inaccurate, but all were made before price took priority over quality, so I lean toward giving them the benefit of the doubt.
I do like this one enough to exchange it and try another unit, but was wondering what others have found.
What was the price when this deal was posted? I’m guessing $11.99 is the full price?
Agree the packaging is first class as is the product. I have no idea how they make money selling this cheap.
Or… just slap on like 3¢ worth of diffusion film?
No need to irreversibly damage the lens itself.
I prefer steam gauges like my trusty GH Meiser from decades ago. Haven’t had to change a battery, like, ever… because it doesn’t need one.
Built like a tank, all metal, not like those crappy plastic-body gauges that shatter like a champagne glass if you drop 'em.

The gauges are like relics now I had 2 or 3 different kinds but the last time I touched it was years ago. New car and inflator make them obsolete
A man with one watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure.
Just for shiites’n’giggles, a few people at the shop I used to hang around with, all got our inflators with built-in gauges, as well as standalone gauges, and compared on the same tires. Every single one of them had a different reading, and by as much as 5psi.
All the steam gauges were within 1psi of each other, whereas the worst offenders were the digital ones.
For some reason, people think that a digital gauge that reads to 6 decimal places is more accurate than a needle-pointer.
Hell, even the quarter-sized mech gauge on my vacuum/inflator is repeatable and accurate.
And I can read all tire-pressures right on my car via the tpms, but that’s only handy as a guide, not to be relied on while actually inflating.
I’ll always top off to a bit over, then use my GHM to verify the readings and deflate a bit 'til I get the “right” pressures I want. Pressures fluctuate up’n’down based on outside temps, cold vs warmed up, etc., so all I really care about is that they’re ballpark in absolute terms, but balanced in relative terms. Eg, all 33psi today when it’s cold, even though they might all be 35-36psi tomorrow when it’s warmer and I drove around for a while.

So true. I have at least8 gages, a couple of them older mechanical (good quality) gages. None give identical reading.
I have always used ride, handling , and tire wear as my first indicators. I got a neat gage that goes inline with my compressor, has a great no-leak clamping connector and a release valve. Never have to disconnect anything to adjust pressure. I love it, but the actual gage is a couple of pounds off of my trusted mechanical gages. I just adjusted what I fill to accordingly.
I’ve been using Milton stick type my whole life and have checked them against other types and never see much of a variation. If any method is a pound or two off it’s not the end of the world, tire isn’t gonna roll off the rim.
I’ve had an Accu-Gage in mind for years but never made the leap, I think it’s time. The lines on the Miltons get smaller as I get older.

Now sold out. 
I guess lot of people want a $5 watch.
Last time I went to get one, there was a head in it, singing some eerie song that sounded like “Skibidi dop dop dop yes yes.”.
Got mine today. Kind of bummed that for the price you don’t even get a magnetic tail.
