    Review of Gerber Clutch

    The Squirt P4 with a Gerber Clutch. The Clutch only goes for about $14 to the Leatherman $35 – 2.5 inches to the Squirts 2.25 inches – implements harder to pull out – can pinch your finger when closing – not the quality of the Leatherman Squirt but not bad for the price.

    New Raw XR-E

    Received my new Raw XR-E today and - WOW. Live in the forest and just came in from spotting deer with it. Quick question: From when the Raw first turns on for the low setting it takes another 3/4 rotation to get to the high setting. Is this about normal for the Raw XR-E? My original Raw NS...

    Does a lens protector slip on cap exist to fit a Orb RAW NS and RAW XR-E ?

    Thanks for the ideas. I'll have to keep a lookout for something that works. Just seems like a simple solultion - a rubber cap just a quarter inch deep or so would work great. I know the Orb lens are suppose to be scatch resistant, but so are my glasses and they are scratched all over and not...

    Does a lens protector slip on cap exist to fit a Orb RAW NS and RAW XR-E ?

    Could care less about scratches on the body but would like to protect the lens. Have an Orb Raw NS and soon to have the new Alum Raw XR-E. Would like to carry them in the pocket with keys and etc. Don't care about scratches and marks on the body. I would like to avoid scratches, nicks, and...

    Orb or Fenix

    Have the Fenix - got the new Raw ordered (also have the RAW NS). The main advange of the Fenix P1D-CE is the run time. One hour on high verses the 25 minutes on high for the new RAW cree. Low run times are great. The Fenix beam is ringy on most - if that bothers you stay away from it - it is...

    Fenix Price Rise After Chinese New Yr

    Good question. Some Chinese products are made by slave type labor - so for those the overhead is smaller. Hopefully people making the Fenix lights are free to work there or not and are getting paid a good wage in Chinese terms.

    New Raw XR-E

    When I got my Ns it was 6 pounds a trit slot - I think that is the same. The battery for the Raw is now protected - get an extra. I believe the Ns battery is still unprotected - don't be afraid of them - just charge them when they start to dim. I just ordered the new RAW with a March 2nd...

    New Raw XR-E

    Looking at the pictures at the start of the thread it looks like the ring holder protrudes and would prevent the RAW from sitting flat on its end. Or am I seeing it wrong?

    L0D(-CE) on 10440 Li-Ion - Maybe there should be a big fat WARNING about this?

    SAM'S CLUB has the Energizer E2 Lithium AAA for less than $10 a dozen.

    My Raw NS arrived! I have questions...

    I really like the NS but only have the LUX III - thinking on getting a Cree upgrade. Can anyone give any feedback on an Orb Raw Alum with the Cree? Light on low

    P1D CE Max Brightness

    On my P1D CE I thought that there was basically little difference at first between primary and highest wall hunting until I did this. Shined a P1 (about the same as primary on the wall - maybe very slightly dimmer) next to the P1D CE. Then went to high and it is very noticable that on high...

    Orb Raw Cree lux measurement?

    I was going to upgrade my NS to a CREE - now I don't know if it is worth the money for 8 minutes of increased brightness.

    P1D CE Textured Reflector Survey - Request from Fenix Engineers

    I live in the deep woods - nightly use mine to spot the many deer that bed around the house - plus to keep the coyotes away when the dog goes out to do his business after dark. So for me the current throw works out well - if it was less I would go to a differnt light for this purpose even...

    Orb RAW NS - Charger Problem?

    Gave it another try and the Nano went to green full charge in three hours. One strange thing happened - the LED still had a faint glow after turning off the light - turned it on and off a few times and it disappeared - somehow was still getting some current I guess. :thanks:
