I knew one day I\'d damage one of my Surefires!
It had to happen no matter how hard I've tried to avoid it! I knew that one day I'd drop one of my lights and it would get cosmetically damaged. Well last night was the night and I dropped my E2e with the KL1 bezel from waist height onto hard concrete. Upon inspection there is a quite noticeable chunk of HA3 gone from one of the cooling fins and a small dent in the alloy. The tailcap is very slightly scratched but otherwise ok. The shame of it this is that if it had dropped onto the tailcap first I could have replaced the tailcap.
The thing is I know that the light works ok and it is only cosmetic damage but it really bugs me. I dont know who it was but some one once said that a light isn't a tool until it carries some signs of use. Well I guess my KL1 is now a tool!
