Nite Ize "Grip 'N Clip" ?

I just ordered one of these for my Maglite 4d. Anyone ever use these and what is your opinion? http://www.niteize.com/productdetail.php?category_id=28&product_id=71

i have one on my 3D with SSC. in winter, it feels much better not having to grip the bare metal with my hands, I haven't used the clip much, mostly because the 3D is a heavy light and I don't envision myself using it so much that I would clip it to my belt. That job belongs to my NDI or rexlight or other smaller lights.

Great! That's pretty much what I want to use it as. They do get too cold to hold onto in winter.

I use a C size on my Streamlight Ultrastinger. Love it. It makes a light that is somewhat hard to hang on to very easy. Slide it up and down to find the balance point and it makes a great handle. I do not use the belt clip, but it is there if needed.

I have used one on a D Mag. Works great in all weather!

I too have one on a D Mag. It's great... I believe I've had it for nearly 2 years now - I'll admit that I don't use the light daily. It has a side benefit of preventing scratches (carry mine under seat of my pick truck.

I had them on a 2D and a 4D. The 2D body is covered almost completely and is afforded good protection from scratches, and the grip is warm and comfortable. The 4D isn't fully covered of course because it is so much longer but shares the same comfort benefits. A 4D is too heavy to belt hang and the neoprene sleeve does stretch under the weight when hanging. I gave my 4D away before finding out if the long term effects would slacken the sleeve grip on the body. As long as you hand hold the 4D you'll enjoy the vastly improved comfort of the Grip 'n' Clip.

hmm And what about inner tube???

Inner tube would work but it doesn't have the clip function which I like.

How about a lanyard? Wear it around your neck. Don't do it with a 6D, that would just be stupid!

I just received it today. Is there any easy way to install it. This thing is TIGHT!

You might try just a small amount of talcum/baby powder dusted inside the Grip' N Clip and then sliding it on. However, it is supposed to be tight so it doesn't shift or come loose.

Thanks! i got it on. I must say I like this accessory. Very comfortable and you can hook it on objects.

Hi,

I have one of the AA size on my SureFire E2, The C size on my M4 and 9P with one cell extender A19. I have also put one D size on my M6, but it
is too long...

I like the fact that if you install it upside down you can hang it overhead on objects for small area lighting.
