Alright, so I have heard people say that Nitecore has cheap build quality and you want to be careful with their lights. I definitely think that has changed. Here is an example:
This is my P12GT. I wrote a review on this fantastic light a while ago. Well, I have dropped several Nitecore lights before and nothing has happened to them so I figured it was time to put some proof out there that a Nitecore flashlight is no fragile object. I decided to do a torture test with my P12GT. This included putting it in water, throwing it around, dropping it many times straight onto tile and concrete, using it as a hammer, and just banging it all around. Of course I sanded it a little bit too just for style points. This thing held up like a beast. Still works like it's brand new. Of course this does not mean go and toss your Nitecore onto asphalt, but hopefully it is some reassurance that when you purchase a Nitecore, you are buying a quality and lasting flashlight.
I plan to freeze it in a block of ice as well. I have seen it done before to the P12 2015 and the light was still on inside the ice block.
EDIT:
Ice block test was successful. The P12GT survived being frozen in an ice block with the light on.
