who got the Tactical Impact Crown from tadgear for the fenix l1p? any thoughts?

I'd like to know how it works, do you need a powerdrill to put it on, will it damage the finish?

 

[EVAN_TAD]

It uses set screws just like the version from GG and G. It will mar the finish as the screws are made of steel.

i wonder if that will fit on the new jet-beam...

so it would most likely be a permanent fixture?

As permanent as a TID. I had a TID, attached it to an X5T (ti finish), didn't like it, and removed it. There are 3 small circles where the set screws attached, which are visible on close inspection, but not at any significant distance. Since the Fenixes are HAIII I can't imagine there would be a huge amount of damage done, but purists wouldn't like it.

how secure is it?

Most likely.

HAIII is thin and I don't think it'll provide a lot of protection against gouging type pressure like from a steel setscrew. That will depend on the yield strength of the underlying aluminum alloy. Mostly, HAIII protects against abrasion.

The TID stayed exactly put until I decided to remove it. Can't say as the the TADGear version, but knowing their products I doubt it's any less secure.

I had the GG&G version for my E2E. It loosened up a couple of times, but basically it was very secure. It added a surprising amount of weight though. The website says about .1 Lb. I wonder if the tadgear will be as heavy.

 

[edakoppo]

Interesting--I didn't get much weight on mine, which was part of why I dumped it.

 

[EVAN_TAD]

Our version is aluminum instead of steel. You can use blue loctite to secure the screws.

I have one on order. I'll let everyone know when it arrives....with pics of course.
