I find myself in the complete opposite situation. I have tried many , and I mean many other lights and the HDS is the one I always find myself coming back to. Yeah, it's not the smallest or the brightest but, it's very durable, feels solid in the hand, always works when I need it, even with a very low battery , and I can program any configuration of brightness settings that best suit my needs.
There is something attractive about fine craftsmanship for sure. I'm particularly fond of the Rotary. And for pouch or bottom of the pocket carriers I can't think of a better EDC light. Here's hoping Henry adds a lanyard attachment point and/or a decent deep pocket clip, and updates to the latest generation LEDs on his next generation of Rotaries.
Henry, if you are reding these think about replacing the stop screw on the rotary with an eyelit that could be used as a lanyard attachment point. And machining a recessed ring without knurling near the base to clip on something like a foursevens deep pocket carry clip.
For or all my criticism, you should note that I still have three HDS lights.:thumbsup:
