Nose hair weed-wacker; my brother got suckered into that one. Tell me you’ve never been in one of those As Seen on TV stores… Anyway, once [...]

Currently on the market there is varied choice of specialized LED flash/spotlights available, some of which are quite amazing. They do of course vary in size and price depending on the users requirements. But lets be honest, for a top quality design and build you really need to be paying a serious amount of money. It doesn’t suit everyone’s budget, unless of [...]

I have had the privilege/opportunity/perk of reviewing some very high-end flashlights and lasers over the years. Many readers have commented on the fact that $200+ is too much to pay for something as simple as a flashlight. In many ways I agree, but have to say that Surefire makes incredibly nice pieces of hardware engineered [...]

There are always products that appear on the market which have an ingenious purpose and altruistically purport to resolve problems suffered by all. And we, the public (or at least me) brighten at the prospect of finally being able to fix this or that nagging issue from the good designers and engineers at company X, [...]

Several years ago Surefire produced a small, (relatively) high output, limited edition LED flashlight made of pure titanium called the Titan. Surefire only made one thousand of these very well made, very expensive, ultra high-end keychain flashlights. Even with a $500 price tag, the Titan sold out rather quickly and continues today to fetch even [...]

A wrist watch that only tells the time is not something that a gadgeteer would probably take much notice of – right? Of course I’m right That’s why I want to show you the 20.20 Sport Digital Watch from iBeam. This watch tells the time and a whole lot more.

My current favorite LED flashlight is the LED Lenser P7. I love it because it’s so bright and easy to use. But it’s also pretty big and bulky and as such, would not be something that I would carry around with me in my gear bag. I recently received a baby version of this flashlight [...]
