LF3XT lanyard

[Raindog-]

I did the same with my previous P1D. I never understood why only one hole. With these four I like it more.

I always carry my LF3XT in the Fenix holder, so clip is not useful for me.

Of course, preserves candle mode.

In hand, caught as cigar.

Hanging in neck.

Hope you like it.

That's a great idea. Nice job. I really like it. Now I'm jealous tho. :mecry:

 

[PetaBread]

Nice job, Raindog- Very creative. I would be afraid to attack my light with a drill.

Way cool! Nice job on that.

I'm glad you liked. The only precaution to remember is to previously mark off carefully the center of the hole. I use a ultra-thin tungsten carbide tip. Ah .. and be patient, this is a really hard aluminum. Is better begin with a thin tip (I use 1mm) and afterwards attack with the 3/32 tip.

Thanks for your comments. :twothumbs

Raindog.. did you use a drill press?

No, just a dremell and a bit of care. Was easy.
I suppose with a drill press could result even better.

Is that hook on your lanyard what they call a lobster claw? I'm looking for something like that.

Very nice!
I just got a Fenix PD30 and maybe I'm doing things wrong, but I'm not going to trust that tiny thread on the end of the lanyard. you've inspired me to make my own - Thanks!

I've never quite trusted those skinny string lanyards, either, though I've not had one break. That's what they give you with some cameras. Never use them there.

Raindog.... how the heck do you learn to make a lanyard like that? You must have a lot of experience doing that!

If you check out the Chris Reeve Knives website they have a page showing how to do. Every CRK Sebenza is shipped with that type of lanyard.

That's from a surefire Z3... but you can find it easy in some internet places. uniquetitanium, for example, have a wonderful Ti ones.

I absolutely love my D10, but man, this thing is sooooft compared with the strong push button of the D10.

No, no, is very simple. Search google for hangman's knot... This Chris Reeve tutorial Walter wrote is precise and simple.
