I don't purposefully mistreat my gear, but I don't baby it either.
My attitude towards my edcs is that these lights will be will be used, damaged, and at some point will become inoperable. At the same time I do not abuse them or perform "torture tests". My E1B was not cheap but I won't feel bad if it dies in the line of duty.
I manage commercial kitchens and that environment can be surprisingly rough on lights. The Microstream I edc at work has been dropped on tile floors several times and has had the finish bleached by harsh cleaning fluids. My E1B has a nice ding on the head from being dropped on bathroom floor tiles while I was changing a lighting fixture at home and has hit ashphalt a couple times while running errands.
When I buy a light that I know I'm going to use a lot it comes with the realization that it very well could be lost or broken as that comes with the territory.
You might wanna clean that every so often. You risk damaging the lock's pair of omega springs and you want to keep the channel the AXIS bar slips into clean before you lose your fingers
I tried to. Sadly the allen wrench they sent stripped on the screws along with the one I had. At this point I'm a little lost for one that is strong enough.
