There was a time not long ago when you could get a plain black tool for about 10 bucks (with a code usually) now they all seem to be $5-10 more than that. Why did the price jump so high?
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good price (or code) for these?
If not, a good quality AAA light with either a tail or side switch for around the $10 mark.
My brother had a Nitecore Tube that I gave him a few years ago but it died and after talking to him a little I think a small AAA with switch would suit him nicely and the Tool is what came to mind as I love mine.
Any help is appreciated.
I got a lifetime supply of Glaree E01s for about that, but they’re twisties. Make great zipper-pulls, though.
For twisties where the head might theoretically come loose and fall off, I put a “dot” of duct-tape to hold it in-place. Twists on no problem when you need it, but keeps it just a bit more secure when not in use.
And which coped who.
Sofurn SF01A and the Thorefire PF01S look the same.
Which is the better.
I like the twisties myself.
The Astrolux AO1 is nice and runs 3 levels to 110/120.
Lives on my 4 key keyring.
Jetbeam Jet-1 MK is slightly larger. 3 levels to 460ish.
BOTH super well made. $8 and 14ish
Some of the Amazon reviews for the F3 mention that the battery compartment is too small. Anyone have problems with that? Maybe a unit-to-unit variation (QC) problem?
Current Amazon price for the F3 is $10. If you want the word “tactical” in the item description the price goes up to $14. :laughing:
I only ever got the Tool for 10 US dollars in sales, and that’s how I got all three that I ever bought (one Cree, my first, and two CRI, one for me and one for a friend). Usually the price I see is around 15. If you wait for this end of the year, Banggood or Gearbest should have them at a discount.
Otherwise, I guess the F3 is a good option? I have no experience with it.
EDIT: XP-G2 version is on for 12 bucks on Banggood right now!
