I’m back after a long break, caused by the fact I just moved on another continent, presenting some gear that has piled up on me over the time waiting to be tested and reviewed.

In fact, I’ve received and have been working on more than just the things I mention in the video. So we’ve got the SCHF 42D, SCHF 43 or the Jessica X, the Ka-Bar, two folders from Cold Steel – Finn Wolf and Mini AK-47d, a Black Leatherman Wave with extra bits and extension, Victorinox SwissChamp, Thrunite Ti4 and two waist bags from a Polish company Baribal – http://baribalpoland.pl/en/

First, I thought my Chinese Ultrafire Mini Cree torch was smallLarge small flashlight

Then, I bought an Olight S10. And considered it smallLarge small and smaller flashlights

 

But then, I got a Thrunite Ti3 🙂thrunite ti3 ultralight cree and olight s10 flashlight

 

Pros:
Low price and good quality
Powerful for such a small flashlight
Decent lifetime
Removable pocket clip that can be used to attach the flashlight to a hat
Powered by a cheap and readily available AAA battery
Very small and lightweight
Three reasonably spaced out outputs
No buttons means you practically can’t occidentally switch it on
Waterproof (to a degree)

Cons:
Rather complicated mode memory
Too well hidden strobe
Very yellow light that seems dimmer than is supposed to be
