My SF E1L vs. garbage disposal!!

[H2Orower]

My wife was insisting that our garbage disposal wasn't working properly and complaining that it was not adequately chopping up the lemon pieces she had put in. "Perhaps the blades are no longer sharp enough", she said. To investigate the matter, she grabbed my E1L out of the kitchen drawer and proceeded to "accidentally" drop it into the running machine. As you can see, the blades were plenty strong and sharp, and did a number on my little $139 hard anodized flashlight. The light might not be pretty to look at any longer, but it still works just fine.

Looks like it got worked over pretty good.oo:
Not that you needed an excuse to buy another light but:twothumbs

Don't put $140 flashlights in the kitchen drawer. Now you know why.

 

[brianch]

"accidentally"

riiiightttt :ironic: well now you have an excuse to buy another surefire :thumbsup:

Need a divorce lawyer? :laughing:

Gives it a little bit of character. Get a new one and get rid of the garbage disposal

 

[DimeRazorback]

You should so send it in for their "True Stories"

 

[mossyoak]

now it looks totally badass, and i would carry it with pride but since the glass got cracked id take some pics and send it in to surefire itll get put on the website and send you a new one.

I'm wondering about the blade sharpness now!

She really owes you a new light...

 

[Cosmo7809]

O man, that is too funny.


Like others said, time for a new light.

If it wasn't for the broken lens that would be a great beater.

I am positive she is glad you dropped in down there.
Can you imagine if SHE did the dropping?
Not a pretty sight.

 

[Vesper]

How sad. That's surprising it surevived that kind of beating (or maybe it isn't). Anyone want to start a "Can it survive the garbage disposal thread"?

...I just realized I misspelled survived but I'll leave it as is...

 

[foxtrot824]

What is every one talking about this light is just getting broken in There are more ginger ways to do it but this works

 

[Gatsby]

Wow. I've dropped a few pieces of silverware, utensils and small items (a pewter shot glass got rather chewed up...) but that one takes the cake!

Impressive that it still works and I agree - it does look totally kick butt now.

Just file down the sharp edges, and replace the glass, and your good to go. And if you JB Weld the clip back on, it'll be a custom light...

 

[waddup]

i recommend re testing the garbage disposal with one of her favorite shoes.

Reminds me of the 'Will it Blend?' series. This one beat the blender. SF should be notified of this.

I would be so heartbroken if that happened to me...

 

[chaoss]

It looks like the dude with metal teeth from the 007 movies ate it .

Send it to Surefire with a detailed description of what happened and they will probably send you a new one. They will use your story to show everyone how tuff their lights are.
