Fasttech - interesting new products - Flashlights, chargers, batteries and DIY and knives - please no discussions.

I ordered their 22awg silicone wire recently, since I read about it in another thread here on BLF and someone stated that 22g would be enough for most scenarios @ 3-4A.

I can’t comment on the silicone wire though, because it’s still in transit.

I assume it’s still OK to clear this subject up in this thread as it discusses the product that is linked above? Anyway I think you’re choice of using Silicone wire is the way to go anyway (I think, ‘what’s the point of doing all your hard work and not ending up with quality that exceeds what you’d get stock from the Chinese manufacturers?’), and I did not realize FT had it, I’ll look for it next. Until now I had got it from IOS, and I think I’ve probably been using the 22 guage as well.

But back to the items just linked above. I note it lists its inner diameter, and does not give guage, whereas the other sizes in the drop-down box give all of them as 28AWG, and does not give an inner diameter for any of them.

Thanks for the comments.

I opened a new thread about wires and where we can buy these. There are also some links included about calculation, questions and answers which gauge are needed etc.

Thanks for that, that will be very useful, good candidate for a Sticky.

I just think it's awesome to see 25mm and 32mm stars for those who can't reflow. Nice to see it as options in good tints. ;)

Thanks for posting those links JM. I pay little attention to the FT site these days, so it’s very nice to see little tidbits like that. :slight_smile:

I ordered a few of the 12mm when they listed them, would really like to wake up and find same on 12mm Noctigons some day.

Not sure if anyone noticed this: double XP-G / XP-E 20mm MCPCB :open_mouth: looks interesting

nice option on those 25mm and 32mm… but why all NW? :stuck_out_tongue:

UV3R+

UV3R

Thanks for the update. I got really excited and was about to jump all over them, and then noticed they were just 2 and 3 Watt :_( . Good for anyone that was looking to replace their FRS radio however.

Interesting looking knife. On the site they refer to it as a ‘monolock’? Looks like a frame lock to me…?

I had requested the UV5R, though I don’t know what wattage it is.

I had been eyeballing that knive. However I did buy one of the $5.00 Rimei 5806 knives and I liked it so much I ordered 5 more, so I thought I should resist the temptation to get that one as well, at least for now.

Chloe, I gave in and after doing some reading on eHam and elsewhere, ordered one of the 3W Baofeng units just to test and play with, and I did note the power plug will not work for me but that is minor. Your post has had me off on a tangent for the last couple of hours. Among other things, I submitted a request that Fasttech order some of the 5W Wouxun KG-UVD1P radios, and it also led me to a Blog where the US Wouxun dealer apparently dropped them in favour of a radio called an ‘AnyTone AT-3318UV-A’ which he claimed is even better, but I cannot seem to find on Ali or eBay.

Here is a good site I stumbled across that should give good info on that, and other similar ones:
