Cold Steel\'s old AA flashlight on steroids
The Club was the Cold Steel knife company's contribution to muscular "tactical torches". It carried 7 AA batteries in the long slender rugged barrel and had some design pros and cons (for instance, I didn't like the placement of the button, set up in the tail cap like a Surefire but awkward to operate one handed when mated with a very long barrel). Also, I found that the button and the connection to the lamp were vulnerable, despite the durability of the flashlight itself. The torch had some throw but the fixed beam blossumed wide rather than far. As with Maglites, The Brute can also use Xenon lamps.During the nineties, Cold Steel dumped its remaining stock onto U.S Calvary or Brigade Quartermaster, where it was retitled The Enforcer and sold at a discount.Could there be a market for an improved version of The Brute?Jeff
