Quark Mini AA Clip?

Has anyone found a clip solution for the Quark Mini AA? Not a hanging clip, but a standard clip. It is the one thing holding me back from hitting .

I'm using a re-bent clip from one of these.
It works well.

Does that fit over the threads, or does it hug the body of the Mini AA?

Any other solutions?

That link doesn't lead to any clip pic. Please, verify it.

Sorry if I misrepresented.The clip I'm using is from the 1xAA energizer light discussed in the thread I linked to. I can't post pics at the moment but I'll try to later today.


Just found a picture of them! look here

Here is what mine looks like.



I used a Dremel with a small cutoff wheel and removed the lowest of the 3 wrap-arounds to get a better fit (you can see the bare metal still!) Then I slowly bent them closed to get a tighter fit. Thirdly, I re-bent the clip, angle to allow it to clip farther down in my jeans pocket. Works great!

Thank you jabe1, that looks great! :thinking: I wonder if my local Target has any Energizer 1 watt lights. My girlfriend needs a new light, right?

IIRC Auto Zone had them too, Target has been sold out for awhile...

Good info, thanks.

Thank you Jabe1.
Nice suggestion :thumbsup:

I'm using the Fenix 1AAA clip on my NW MiNi AA. It's a tight fit but the bezel-down position keeps the clip from bending too much when being opened.

I know this is not what you ask for, but I am very happy with the Tec Accessories P7 hanging clip from J.S. Burly's (link). It hangs lower in the pocket, which I find useful - it's easier to get those other things in my pockets (wallet, coins and so on). It is also more discrete looking...

I used to clip the quark AA to my jeans pocket and was happy with that, but the mini + Tec P7 clip is so much more elegant...

They did have the Energizer at Autozone, but it was $22. That was more than I was willing to spend for basically a clip. Although, getting the dremel out is always fun.

@Mr. Shawn - That looks like a good solution. Where on the Quark do you put it? It looks like the end of the Quark is wider than the rest of the body. Do you clip it just below that?

@jankj - That isn't what I am looking for, but hopefully someone viewing this thread might find it helpful.

I pulled the clip apart ever so gently and slid it onto the butt end, which is wider than the body, then slid the clip down onto the body. The clip is angled forward just a little bit due to its top resting on the butt, but this placement adds to the resistance when opening the clip, decreasing the chance of the clip getting bent open too much. It works like a charm for me. :thumbsup:

^^^ Thank you for that clear description. That sounds like a winner to me.

You're welcome, AlphaZen. Let me know if you want a pic.

Absolutely. That would be awesome.

As you can see, the clip angles slightly forward due to the wider diameter of the tail. Does this help, AlphaZen?

It does, indeed. :thanks:And you can get them both from 4sevens. How convenient. I can now drop the Maratac AA off my wishlist and add the Quark Mini AA/Fenix clip combo.
