I send Fred this old XPG engine from Don. I love McGizmos, and I have had as many as four, but am now down to really two...the current Ti mule offering and the Ti PD mule. It is really Don's mule concept that made me flip into a true freak about these things. I just find the lack of a hotspot so useful...and so pleasing to my eyes. Anyway, I really have a bunch of these size pills for playing with, as well as a few very serious engines in this size built by DatiLED and others. So I really want to be able to take advantage of these, esp. the newer ones I have acquired.
I also wanted to it to eat 18350's. And have a McClicky switch. None of these details, individually or collectively seemed to present any major challenges to Mr. Pilon.
I think the maker's final photos speak for themselves. And quite frankly, it is a different beast. It sits heavy in your palm...presses in a way that only bulkier lights tend to, so it feels alien. It feels dense...like a cylinder of rock with a light in one end and a button on the other.
Its length is exactly that of the width of my palm. It can disappear perfectly centered under my four fingers. Ideal.
This light will be the last host I ever sell, without a shadow of a doubt.
I win.
