    Nitecore D10 o-ring size?

    Since you're so good at predicting what should have been, ponder this. ..it's people like you that make people like me stop giving a rat's *** trying to be helpful/posting. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

    Where to find cheap XR-E emitter (no star)

    Anderson, I don't know what you've read, but you can safely remove the emitter from a star in about 6-7 seconds with a pair of roach clips and a Bic lighter. You smoke don't ya??? ..so simple a caveman could do it! The "trick" is NOT getting the emitter off the star, the trick is knowing how...

    Where to find cheap XR-E emitter (no star)

    Anderson, did you "report post" like I said??? That will get the mods attention. Seriously. ..if you hurry, you can still make it before DM51 wakes up and starts making his rounds! By getting it moved to the proper section more people will see it and hopefully chime in. This forum is mainly...

    Where to find cheap XR-E emitter (no star)

    dangit, I forgot to tell you this is in the wrong section! See that in the top right corner of your first post? ..hit that and when the dialog box comes up, beg forgiveness for interrupting their friggin' dinner, and ask them (while pleading not to be banned!) to move this thread to the...

    Where to find cheap XR-E emitter (no star)

    You are apparently unaware that you can remove the emitter from the star. ?? ..which begs the question (setting myself up here, lol) why would you be interested in the bare emitter?! Have you been reading all those techno mumbo jumbo hot rod modded ultimate thrower my flashlight is...

    Keyed or keyless drill chuck?

    Very nice Barry, always good posts from you, but you're preaching to the choir! ..I've been using Albrechts on & off for 20+ years! ..so, I know they're good, but my wallet takes a bad enough beating as is and it's a very welcome change to find a product that is 95% comparable quality at a...

    Keyed or keyless drill chuck?

    Yes Barry, the Albrecht is still the industry standard but it's nice to find a comparable product for a lower price, NEW from the manufacturer with warranty & service. No need to spend countless hours/days/months(!) rolling the dice and waiting for that elusive killer eBay deal. ..not that I...

    Nitecore D10 o-ring size?

    Exactly! ..they have ZERO interest in making it easy on the consumer to source THEIR parts. Why should they want a customer to risk damaging their product (possible warranty claim) when they should go through the dealer/manufacturer to ensure they get the proper item to fix the issue and...

    Keyed or keyless drill chuck?

    ..that's order of magnitude difference in TIR Will, no f'in comparison! I'm tellin' ya those Glacern chucks are nice! Grips like death and with fit/finish to rival Albrecht. I was very surprised considering the price. The only thing I can't comment on is their long term durability or use in a...

    ..one more time.

    Nitecore D10 o-ring size?

    ..are you the original owner? If so, there's a spare in the box. If not, you can't be certain what the O-ring was exposed to. You need two ingredients to find an O-ring: I.D. (or O.D) and cross section. Good luck finding that at DX. LOL

    Keyed or keyless drill chuck?

    I can personally vouch for the Glacern drill chucks for those interested, I've bought 3 of them so far! Fantastic quality and unbeatable value in a keyless chuck. Sol is the bloke you want to talk to if you have any questions as he is very helpful and responsive. ..and YES those TIR specs are...

    Nitecore D10 o-ring size?

    1st off, O-rings do NOT "stretch out". If the original O-ring doesn't fit and seems too big or larger than it did originally, then that's the result of using the wrong lubricant and/or exposing the O-ring to an incompatible organic solvent. Both examples cause the O-ring to "swell". The fact...

    Zebralight let me down

    You should NOT blame Zebralight for an end user battery problem! In mission critical situations one should never rely on rechargeable cells or at least always have quality primary backups. There's only one suitable primary cell and that's Lithium. Lucky for you, Energizer now makes a Lithium...
