Sold/Expired FS: EN McGizmo Mule: SOLD

Up for grabs is a nickel coated McGizmo Mule. This one includes no light engine but
you can use any from a recent vintage Haiku, Makai, Sundrop and so on...
It has a few minor dings but the nickel is looking pretty awesome. I would
rank it in a solid A condition. US sales include Priority/Insured. Outside the US
is at your risk and expense...

$185-->$170-->$140--->SOLD

I think these are Nickel plated arent they? Which is even better in my book!!!

Re: FS: Chrome McGizmo Mule: Price Drop 1

This is tempting! Is there more info on the chrome lights anywhere? Is it Ti underneath? Who coated it? What exactly is the coating? "Chrome" as in what is on old bumpers and such isn't very tough, what is this one?

Re: FS: Chrome McGizmo Mule: Price Drop 1

Ooops ... my bad it is nickel coated.. with Al underneath..

It's not chrome, it's nickel. The plating is a stock feature, it wasn't added after the fact. It will tarnish over time, but if you polish it really well it will take a long time for the nickel to do anything other than darken slightly.

Re: FS: Chrome McGizmo Mule: Price Drop 1

Thanks for the help, fyrstormer. How durable is this finish? Is it pretty resistant to scratching and wear or will it chip or flake off over time?

Re: FS: Chrome McGizmo Mule: Price Drop 1

Did some research on EN, neat stuff. PM sent to Otis.

Re: FS: Chrome McGizmo Mule: Price Drop 1

I would say it's pretty resistant to scratching.. probably more so than titanium. As to chipping and flaking off... I'm not sure, I've never seen a chipped and flaked user go up for sale here.. :shrug:

Could you snap a few more pics of the lite? I would love to see the tail and head. Thanks. Shelby
And can you tell me how long the light measures? 3 inches would be my guess/hope . . . thanks,

Re: FS: Chrome McGizmo Mule: Price Drop 1

The underlying aluminum can be dented, and of course it's possible to gouge-out pieces of the aluminum which will take the finish with it, but as far as abrasion is concerned, nickel is quite resilient.

Hi Otis, PM replied to. :thumbsup:

Re: FS: Chrome McGizmo Mule: Price Drop 1

Thanks J! You too on yours! It's was a good deal on a nice looking Mule; I can't afford Ti right now after that Haiku just weeks ago...but someday. :devil:

I am going to email Don about an XM-L LE for it, hopefully he will be merciful and let me buy one sans flashlight. :duck:

It's funny, we seem to be buying the same types of lights lately, LOL. I got an Aeon, you got an Aeon. You got a Haiku, and talked me into one. As soon as I got the Haiku I knew I wanted a Mule to compliment it, and it seems you had the same idea! I still have all my HDSs though. :nana:

Re: FS: Chrome McGizmo Mule: Price Drop 1

Got a xm-l engine coming from Don for this bad boy. :rock: It's exciting waiting for these to come in! I'm glad he was able to hook me up with some electronics. I am really interested to see what the Mule beam is like in person.

It's awesome, I just got a Ti XM-L Mule head from Don and it's light having a bare 100 watt lightbulb on hand. From about 2-3 feet from a wall, it will literally spill light form the floor to the ceiling, it's amazing. I also, as it happens, have a nickel plated Mule like this one as well and can tell you that they appear to be very durable. I bought it only recently and managed to drop it from aboput waist high onto concrete with no visible damage. I think you'd have to seriously flog it to get it to marr. The patina is REAL nice!!!

Enjoy the light!!!
