    Me too. However, when we chat, he's usually measuring my 'flashlight' with his mouth. He never can seem to measure the entire thing though.


    Practice makes perfect though

    I give a firm NO to that video. Trunite and WowTac are unknown and unproven names. These are consumer level lights that do not have a track record, not field tested and not carried by law enforcement officers. Are those light USB rechargeable, doesnt matter.

    I rather see Druff go with a proven and field test light that has a track record. Remember, a light is an investment and should last you atleast 20 years. I'd still go with Pelican or Streamlight as a lifetime safety tool investment.

    Come on, dude! Those are flashlights for pansies. Man up and go at least 1,000,000 lumens.

    Is it true what they say? Bigger is better?


    I always thought that its more about how you use the flashlight more so than how big it is.

    I really loved the Stinger, it was perfect. But didn’t like that charging cradle and installed my own TerraLux LED upgrade. They did come out with the Stinger 2020, but I don’t care for the design change.

    And again, USB charging for the win. Your cell phone and torch should charge the same.

    I actually have 2. One for home and one for work. One charger on my toolbox at work, one in my shop at home. With 4 batteries, I never have an issue. When I throw the jeep on the trailer and head for the backcountry I toss both lights and all the batteries in a tool bag and haven't needed them all yet. So I guess what I'm saying is the cradles don't bug me, since they keep the both the light and the extra batteries topped off at all times.

    Look at that flashlight. This tool has been used and not just fashion.

    Good call and I get it. That Stinger is an all time king of lights, designed just right. FWIW, I did have a cradle in my car for my old Stinger as well.

    Do the Snap On trucks still roll from shop to shop or is that a thing of the past?

    Yep. Once a week if you have a good guy who cares about his route and income. Mine is without peer, and of the 4 trucks that stop here weekly (Snappy, Mac, Matco, Cornwell) the only one I walk on, because he shows up every week, and takes care of business.
