New: "Snap-On" brand (li-ion) Rechargeable Tactical @Sears

Anyone else see this? Found it on the Sears site:

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_03487725000P?mv=rr

170/200 lumens, internal recharging, 1lb, aluminum body with rubber coating. Looks neat, must have a modern emitter. Seems aimed for the LEO/Security crowd, like a 7060/T4 etc. Comes with holster and charger for $90. MOP and plastic lens, rear switch; clickie?. Says variable beam, but I don't see how; perhaps an web error.

There seems to be a larger "security" version as well, listed as 2lbs (it doesn't specify li-ions like the tactical version does) putting it more into the Magcharger size. Sears doesn't list dimensions of the lights for some reason. It has a side clickie and is $100. The lumens ratings on this light are only 100 lumens (120 for "boost"), so perhaps long runtime is the idea here for security duty. Both versions have a strobe mode.

Wow. Swing and a miss!!

That's a nice looking light. I wish they added some details.

OOPS, just looked at the ad again & found the "Details".

Re: New: Snap-On (li-ion) Rechargeable Tactical

:thumbsdowIf it uses proprietary ($$$) battery packs, which almost all internal recharge lights do. It would have to do some other things really well to offset the negative of a proprietary pack.

No anti-roll feature...:shakehead

Interesting. Haven't seen these on the truck yet. Snap-on usually just re-brands Inova lights. . .

Re: New: Snap-On (li-ion) Rechargeable Tactical

Oooooh, it's a brand. I've been busting my head trying to figure out what exactly snaps-on on that flashlight. :laughing:

changed thread title for clarity.

Doesn't look like any Inova I've seen so far.

Agree'd!

It's a nice looking flashlight, but for nearly $100 shipped I need more details.

Has anyone ever bought one of these?

0 for CPF? That's incredible...

I'm taking one for the team and ordered the smaller version...supposedely will arrive in a week...

Seems Snap On is whoring the name out to all sorts of stuff. It wasn't like that before...we'll see...

--dan

so does the strobe mode make it a "tactical" flashlight... a lot of mechanics will buy these just for the name brand.

You can get much better lights for $100....

Yea Snap-On is whoring their name out there. I bought a 2 light pack from a hardware store that had the Snap-On logo on them. They look like a 2D mag and Mini mag with a little extra aluminum and some grooves. They were incan's though.
But Snap-On lights at SEARS!?!?!? BLASPHEMY!!!!

The 1st one does have a nice look to it. Zooming in, it looks like it has an OP reflector.

BTW, what does "Variable Beam" mean? That it can be focused???

Now that would be a neat option!

Maybe they mean that the beam quality between different samples will be greatly variable.

Haha,
I doubt that. :laughing:

I'm guessing the proprietary battery is just a standard LiIon in a fancy casing...

Looks interesting- so lets see if Sears has it now- and Kmart owns Sears- then by next year we should be able to pick this up on the "Blue Light Special"
