Easily amused... Vic SAK LED flashlights

I liked my little Premium P2D from last year... my S-F 6PL, E1B, & E2DL. My INOVA X1s - and X5, too. Not so much that Lowe 2xC cell monster - it went back. Today's mail brought a keeper - with a new Victorinox Swiss Army knife. Yeah, they were discussed 15+ months ago - but, still, what neat flashlights!

I am referring to the 2xAA silver LED flashlight that Victorinox sources with some of their knife offerings. It's the current one - #V2A-MR - $50 list - 4.5 oz - .8" x 5.5" - 4.8W - 225 ft range - 3.5hr - on their site (Part of INOVA's site.). This is a nice flashlight... obviously, an INOVA product - even the Victorinox data sheet gives their RI address. White output is warmer - probably a fourth the intensity level of the 6PL's output with a similar coverage.

I guess, with the move towards more and more output and features, it's just nice to have a simple and functional AA-powered LED flashlight. It's output is a larger and warmer spot than the blueish tight/slightly brighter spot of a 3xAA LED Maglite, making it a bit more utilitarian in the house. I see one by the bedside - the S-Fs by the back door and in the cars. The best thing... I bought a Vic SAK I wanted actually cheaper as a set with the light! Also, I have a nice-sized 'bug-out-box' - the metal tin the pair came packed in. Shop around - these things are still available - and often, that knife is as cheap as anyone else will have it, but you'll score a cute LED flashlight, too.

Now it's time to upgrade the old Lux III with a Seoul LED.:thumbsup:

Nitroz, what's that holder thingy you got there. Looks really useful for mods and stuff.

It's a jewelers clamp and can be found here for $11.50.

Thanks to Darkzero for posting this cool tool in one of his pictures I now own one. It is very handy, especially for the price.

Thanks, Nitroz!
So, that's where I'd seen that thing. It was in one of Will's reaaally old threads, modding an Infinity light!
