Going the credit card route is chickenshit
Your dislike of these odd battery sizes noted, there are other reasons that many of us have bought lights using them outside of 'stupidity'. The Maus still remains a very nice light and I'm just glad I haven't had any problems with mine. Size, format, beam pattern and tint are all excellent for me, which along with my two HDS Rotaries makes it the only other light I carry all the time....stupid battery size(N) and I don't know why I bought a maus...CR2 is another stupid battery choice.
At least cr2's are unlikely to leak, being lithiums, but the maus uses only alkaleaks. If the "stupid" battery ruins your expensive light, you may have a different opinion.Your dislike of these odd battery sizes noted, there are other reasons that many of us have bought lights using them outside of 'stupidity'.

I use N size Ni-MH in mine. Works fine!At least cr2's are unlikely to leak, being lithiums, but the maus uses only alkaleaks. If the "stupid" battery ruins your expensive light, you may have a different opinion.
Despite your 'chicken little' mindset, I've had zero issues and I'm sure that you must also be in favor of never leaving the house, because it's dangerous out there.At least cr2's are unlikely to leak, being lithiums, but the maus uses only alkaleaks.

They did offer him a replacement/repair of the item, he then declined that and said he wanted a refund on the item. An issue in this though is that at the point he noticed the problem he'd already used the flashlight for a while, their policies don't allow it for copper flashlights in general but with this he now wants to force the company to do what he wants, despite having entered a contract upon buying the flashlight.As a business owner I have to say that not immediately replacing a faulty item out of the box, legal or otherwise, is just crappy customer service. Sometimes you eat things in the name of doing business, and this would be one of those times. If a replacement is not available, you offer a refund and go on.

That's why it's so weird with this entire thing, if you read through page 1 you can see me asking him if he's got pictures of the flashlight too, the areas which could affect all this, but OP has only posted twice in this entire thread and neither time really answered any questions properly, only given more confusing points to ponder.I missed that one.... although I call myself reading the whole thread.
As the younger folks say "that's sus".
I have to disagree. Give you a perfect example why. One of the most successful car reviewers on YouTube made a video awhile back regarding I believe it was a 2018 model KIA Rio. Talked about how surprised he was at how good it is.I´m a business owner and customer too. I don´t see an issue with Muyshondt here. His offer to repair the light is perfectly ok. The OPs fear the repaired light would suffer the same defect is rather irrational....

Yes and I agree with you. I wasn't going toCopper products are likely exempt from returns because they tarnish & cannot be resold as new. Leather for the same reasons. It is possible to refinish both but it requires a complete disassembly & rebuilding of the light. Its very hard work and it wont be like new. I know because I learned to refinish watch cases & its hard and time consuming work if you wanna do it right. Batteries should be self explanatory. Not saying that makes it right just sharing my thoughts.
I wouldn't. I only post so anyone thinking about purchasing from him would read it. I'm sure if it was your $325 you would feel differentlyGood heavens how this thread drags on. In the thread title, the author questions if he is right in his beliefs.
Muyshondt is trying to put food on the table selling expensive flashlights. It is Muyshondt's choice how the business is run. If you don't like Muyshondt's terms, don't buy anything there. Mistakes happen. We move on.
No I changed my mind after I bought a defective $325 chinese light sold by a reseller.He changed his mind after realizing he bought a $325 chinese light sold by a reseller.
Yea I did. He stopped responding. No repair. No return. poop customer service. Do you need a vacuum ?I think you are wrong. Didn't give the vendor a chance to solve the problem.
Since you brought it up, what's the name of your business?
Disputing the charge with your CC seems to be a way to circumvent the terms and conditions to which you agreed.
You're saying it was on the second battery? If you're able to, could you take pics of the inside of the head, and the body thread?
It's defective. That's not circumvent the terms and conditions to which i agreed. That's asking to return something that doesn't work. Isn't that him circumvent the terms and conditions? Selling a product that doesn't do what it is supposed to do?I think you are wrong. Didn't give the vendor a chance to solve the problem.
