Most reliable: Fenix, Nitecore, Olight, or other?
+1 Gene Malkoff is a rock star both for manufacturing an American-made light & for top notch customer service. I've had problems with Nitecore headlights but not their flashlights. Olight is my current favorite in a production light. The M2R Warrior is a great EDC light, 18650 with mag...- precisionworks

Olight R50 Pro Seeker lanyard fix
I love everything about the R50 Pro except the lack of a lanyard attachment point. I debated about sending the light back for a refund but like it so well that I decided to try to fix the issue. The only good place for a lanyard attachment point is just behind the switch, near the head. The...- precisionworks

The U2 is gone but I may still have the P3X or a P3X body. I’ll check when I get back to the shop later on tonight. I do have a beautiful condition Kroma that’s bored for 18650 if you’re interested in that.- precisionworks

Upgrade has arrived
“... had to use pliers to get the two pieces fully seated, so they will not ever come apart.” And alternative to a very tight mechanical fit is to use Loctite retaining compound. Quite a few different variations are sold but I use one that will fill a .015” gap. Nice job, that turned out...- precisionworks

Upgrade has arrived
Sounds like a Yuasa, very nice quality. I have a Suburban Spin-Master 5C, sold on eBay as a "lathe with missing parts". That was a good buy for $25, new old stock. https://www.subtool.com/st/sm5c_spin-master_spin_index_fixture.html- precisionworks

Upgrade has arrived
You may want to try one of these next time, lots cheaper & much better grip & centering (around 0.0005" more or less). About the best $50 you can spend, I use them all the time for holding thin hollow tubes (sounds like a flashlight :) ) They also allow holding bezels & other fragile parts...- precisionworks

The SureFire P2X-B "Fury" 500lu flashlight thread
Re: Glass not all its cracked up to be in the Fury... IMHO the older style Fury was far too slick. I modded some by cutting grooves and adding O-rings to the body and that helped quite a lot. I also tried heat shrink mesh tubing and that was good. The new design is a huge improvement and...- precisionworks

PM1236 Which oil to use
The #10 has the viscosity of water & isn’t suitable for a gearbox. DTE Light (ISO 33) isn’t much better. DTE Heavy or Medium Heavy are the best choices (ISO 100 or ISO 68)- precisionworks
