Does anyone know anything about this flashlight. The price sounds good…but I have seen Canadian Tire put "$700.00" socket sets on sale for $99.00 😬…so? Thanks in advance.

Well I picked up two of these yesterday, one for the house and one for the garage. For that price I figure I can't go wrong. It is big and heavy, but it is bright…they claim 900 lumens? I can't unscrew the back cap though and I have fairly strong hands. I will have to put a wrench to it and try not to marr the finish.

I got it apart and the threads were completely dry. The second flashlight came apart easily and there is evidence of lube on the threads. So I dabbed a small amount of some dialectic grease I have on the threads. It seems smooth now. I checked the local Ford dealer for their lube that is mentioned in the lube thread here…and they want $28. for a 3oz. tube. Thats almost what I paid for both flashlights.

The name of this light cracks me up
