    Show your keys!

    I wouldn't even bother worrying because it's so easy to pick the locks you're worried about. Picking is easier than reproducing from an image. By the way, what if you guess wrong from a photo? No second chance to access the lock. With a pickset you get many chances. I'd worry more about the meth...

    SOS and Strobe

    SOS is Morse code. Who on Earth knows Morse code these days?

    Have Emerson lost the plot?

    I am baffled by your support of Mick Strider. What do you mean by that? He made up his military record as did his partner Dwyer. He was dishonorably discharged from the military (that's humiliating to most people) and was never, as he claimed, in the special/black/secret ops. Not ever. He never...

    Have Emerson lost the plot?

    Poland? Berger? Sounds like a couple of shmucks to me!

    Have Emerson lost the plot?

    Unlike USN, the chatroom "brotherhood", we here on Candlepower forums do not have to stay within certain unwritten rules of conduct (never do anything but worship Strider, Emerson et al). We can be honest here about the things we are into - lights of all kinds, knives, etcetera, even to the...

    Have Emerson lost the plot?

    Redled, Although I agree with your assessment that Emerson has, and let me put it politely, not quite been up front about some details in the product he sells he may be the victim of personal issues we wouldn't have any knowledge of. I watch the sad story of Britney Spears and can't help but...

    Have Emerson lost the plot?

    Well, I sincerely hope the free market punishes him in a manner matching the enormity of his crimes...This whole "tactical" knife thing is getting goofy - first that Strider nonsense then this. What's with these knife manufacturers? See why I stick with Spyderco?

    US Recession and your flashlight habits?

    If you mean we're in inflationary times, the best thing you could do is put your money in tangibles such as physical gold, real estate, art, guns of any sort, and, of course, collectible flashlights... I too have been told by the media that there is a recession going on but I'm not cooperating...

    Have Emerson lost the plot?

    Well,I just looked at the Emerson website and it says liners are titanium but they're not. All you have to do is call the website guy and it gets changed and you can get on with business, or guitar picks, or whatever. I'll give you an example of how simple it is to change a website. One day I...

    Have Emerson lost the plot?

    It bugs me when companies do what Emerson did. My Cottonelle toilet paper used to be a really good product. In the last few years it's gone from just regular toilet paper to double roll (and it's the same size as before), now to triple roll (and still the same size)and to top it all off it got...

    Are LED's Safe for my toddler's flashlights?

    I'm surprised that there's so much worry about the dangers flashlights pose to kids. Perhaps that's the way now but I have a question - If flashlights put out eyes then how will you protect a child from the sun? What if he looks at it? Perhaps a helmet (you can't be too safe) with integrated...

    Australia to ban incandescent bulbs

    Rather than impose a tax on the innocent, consider letting the free market solve the problem by itself. For example, here in California we are forced to use expensive forms of power production. That makes electricity real expensive. People shift their buying habits to save on their power bills...

    Will a UV or a specific color light help me find Dog Poop

    Guys, You have everything you need to find feces built in - get on your hands and knees and use your nose! Naturally, a headlamp would be helpful for identifying what you sniff out. Your nose will work even if the dog stools are covered by leaves!
