flashin

Pros:

looks exspensive. all dials are functional and calibrated.
center secondary second hand and dial. 24 hour dial.
17 jeweled mechanical automatic. this one is fully automatic meaning there is no winding it at all.
nice thick domed "crystal" and back glass exposing the inards. snap on steel back. pleather strap is comfortable.
mine is very accurate so far. and it runs effortlessly with the slightest movement of the watch. my favorite feature is the exposed regulator wheel pokin' out of the watch face. very cool.

Cons:

there are a few.... no manual wind feature. the stem was very stiff, i actualy pulled mine completely out, but luckily it snapped back in. sloppy machine work on the back that wasn't smoothed out before bein' chromed over. can't see it topside though. oddly placed markers of the face don't line up with 60 min ring. but the hands do!
cons aside, i still really like this watch. looks really cool.

Other Thoughts:

russian text is a definate plus. just looks impressive.

Bottomline:

a very smooth running, nicely sized watch for a decent price.

Pros:

pretty neat cross. bigger than expected. center cross spins as seen in the photos. center does appear to be stainless steel, though not sure about the outer cross. looks like it's chrome plated.
if it's stainless too, then it has a really good polish job done to it.
nice crysatal in the center cross.
build seems very good. fit and finish of the center cross is nice and straight. spins fast, though not an important feature to have in a cross pendant, it is kinda cool.
great price.

Cons:

a tad bigger than i want to hang around my head. but that's just my opinion.

Other Thoughts:

you can't go wrong when represented by the cross.

Bottomline:

great gift item.
should be a hot seller for the resellers out there.
crosses always sell good.
it's very nice for the small price. i will be buyin' as many as i can before they're sold out, or extremely back ordered.

Pros:

...wierd, strange, and goofy.
but it's kind of cool too. well built.
looks to have a 3 piece brass case with glass domed crystals front and back. it's almost completely round and about the size of those small super high bouncy balls you can buy in the gumball machines at the grocery store. it has a 17 jewel manual wind mechanical movement. (which is the reason i bought it)
the finish appears to be bare brass with a slight polish. it's likely to turn brown and tarnish some. it does have the appearence of an antique already, and tarnish will add to that look.
has a bell and tassle to keep it hangin' plum on the "tong". a "pleather" cord came with it to wear as a neclace. a brass chain would be better.
the crown has a blue glass... (i kept typin' bluegrass) inset on the crown.
runs good.... and has kept good time so far.

Cons:

could be a dollar or two cheaper.
or, leave the price alone and send a brass chain with it instead of the pleather cord.

Other Thoughts:

came in a cardboard box with bubblewrap. the crystals on this are very thick and probably would survive the 800 pound postal gorilla with out a box, but, was glad to see it had one.

Bottomline:

neat little time piece curiousity for a collector.
anyone that is in to antique jewelry/watches will definately like this watch.
i like it.

Pros:

it's noisey because a can't play a lick!
but i'll learn it.
well made, very inexspensive.
sounds good when i acidently do something that sounds like music.
the case mine came with is decent. it's plastic with a latch... not a sticker as noted in another review.
pretty simple construction... it's a harmonica! not much to 'em anyways.
hard plastic frame, brass plates and "reeds" or "valves", and stainless steel covers.
looks good.

Cons:

there is nothin' wrong with it other than my lack of talent.
so don't pay no mind to the star rating i gave it.

Other Thoughts:

i bought it to exercise my bad lungs, and to give my new ones something to do after the transplant i'm waitin' on.

Bottomline:

great little piece for startin' out with. very affordable at about $6.
when a harmonica goes out of tune, you basicly throw them away. these are very affordable in that sense. but i don't know how long they will stay in tune.
great buy, even if all you're gonna do is screw around with it.
i can make my dog turn her head near verticle with some of the notes i hit....fun!

Pros:

kind of an odd mount.
once i got it i really couldn't figure out where or how to use it.
the best thing i came up with was to use it as a barrel mounted flashlight mount. the pic rails allow you to mount just about anything you want.
actualy it is a very universal mount.
mount a flashlight and laser to a scope is another combo possibility.
fit and finish are excellent.

Cons:

tryin' to find a use for it..... not a product con though.

Other Thoughts:

you could mount this to a scope, then mount another scope in the other end.
then..... mount two more scopes with the pic rails!!!
NOT REALLY, JUST KIDDIN'!

Bottomline:

odd mount that might just be exactly what you were lookin' for to complete your set-up of rifle accessories.

Pros:

awesome mount.
has a large clamping surface area allowing for an incredible amount of grip.
best suited for flashlight mounting.
very sturdy construction.
should be able to survive .50 bmg recoil without failure!
great machining and finish. should match most firearms paint and bluing colors.
price is insane!! again, this is something that will cost $20+ anywhere you look.

Cons:

because of it's contact area it may limit the positions possible for mounting lasers. you need windage and elevation adjustment access, this mount covers a good bit of most lasers. you have to leave the laser stickin' out further to access the screws.

Other Thoughts:

i like it.

Bottomline:

a bullet proof mount, for nearly nothing in cost.
compared to the large outdoor sporting goods giants price, these are almost free at dx!!

Pros:

awesome! just what i needed to mount my laser in a more centered position.
small end fit perfectly on the end of my hi-point 995's barrel.
holds it down and away from muzzle flash and hold securly enough to stay zeroed.
price is absolutely awesome!! will cost $20 in sporting goods store, and more at the famous online hunting supply giant store stores.
excellent fit and finish.
versatile enough to use on several barrel types/sizes and various lasers.
flip flop it for versatility.

Cons:

none.

Other Thoughts:

i really like it.

Bottomline:

great buy for any gunner. buy several and put a laser on all your rifles!
i mean real rifles too. so if these will stand up to a real firearm, that shoots actual ammunition, lead bullets, brass casings, with gun powder and primers, then they will deffinately be good enough for paint ball and air powered pellet poppers.

Pros:

it's an ok knife.
i bought 2.
i have good and bad in equal amounts here.
the good. it's a well made little spring assisted copy of an italian military knife. flat spring assisted. "gold" tone coating on blade made to resemble a varient of titanium... seems to be fairly durable. fit and finish are very nice. torx screws throughout except for pivot screw. to the relief of some folks out there this one has a flat blade screwdriver slot for blade tension adjustment. spring snaps blade out and locks securly with a "standard" liner lock.
glass breaker and p[ocket clip.
blade up carry position.
blade held firmly closed also. risk of pocket deployment should be at a minimum.
great price!
very well oiled.

Cons:

2nd knife.... complete opposite!!!
spring only deploys blade halfway. blade is loose when locked. lock doesn't engage properly... slips. blade alignment is off.
may not be able to do anything with it fine adjustment wise. too many critical parts had bad machining.
i will have to leave it as it is.
still usable, but not "safe".

Other Thoughts:

relatively small knife.

Bottomline:

great knife if you get a good one. having only bought 2, i cannot condem this one in whole. could be i got the one odd factory foul up.

Pros:

i've used a slightly larger version of this for years now. i really like it.
you will not loose your keys when they are attatched to you with one of these.
cool double spring loaded hooks overlap each other.
very light weight.
cost nearly $5 in local stores.

Cons:

no color choice.
can only support the weight of keys!!!
the pins are to weak for anything else.

Other Thoughts:

it's a keychain..... good impulse item if you are a reseller.

Bottomline:

makes for a neat little gift for friends and such.
does an excellent job as a keyholder.

Pros:

the ones i recieved were the fatter type.
don't rightly know what that style is called. sort of celtic, but not really as fancy.
it's a fairly thick cross.
outer surface was polished.
nice lookin' little cross.
good for male or female.
crazy cheap price!!

Cons:

machine work is a little rough... but that's ok with me.
has a slight "old rugged cross" look.
the only major peev i had with it is the eyelet hole for the ring.
it's cut.
which is weird, because it doesn't need to be. it could possibly be a weak point that could cause it to come off the chain.

Other Thoughts:

i crimped the gap in the eyelet tighter and used it as a zipper pull on a bible cover for a while and it worked well.

Bottomline:

great little gifts..... buy several.

Pros:

looks just like an exacto knife.
good knurling on the handle and lock.
the 2 i ordered had an aluminum blade holder, where a lot of this type of knife use plastic.
makes for a more rigid knife.
comes with 5 extra blades.
threads seem to be well machined and fit snug.
price is very good.

Cons:

none.

Other Thoughts:

priced to buy in bulk.... good for resellers or for someone that goes through a lot of exacto knives.
personaly i ain't never worn one out, but i have lost quite a few.

Bottomline:

good hobby knife. should last as long as the higher priced well known brand.
1001 uses. [at least]

Pros:

like the title says... short n fat!!
[pudgy]
framelock design. steel scale with framelock, and outer scale of aluminum.
sharp enough out of the box to shave arm hair.
strong pocket clip. torx screws throughout.
textured "grip" on the aluminum scale.
has a plastic thumb stud.
thin profile.
the 2 i bought have a very good fit and finish. no "fine tuning" was needed to be done for the lock/blade contact.
great price.

Cons:

just the cloned logos and other i.d. markings.
it's not a boker.
it's not aus 8 steel, and it wasn't made in "talwan".

Other Thoughts:

good boot or back up emergancy knife.
should be legal to carry with a blade length of only 48mm from tip to leading edge of scale.
[that's less than 2 inches for us americans]

Bottomline:

great little gift knife.
buy several if you are planning to sell to friends or family.... or give away.
everyone will want one.

Pros:

nice looking watch....
can be a mans watch too, but if you are used to wearin' some of these gigantic watches sold here, then this one is better left to the ladies.
fit and finish are awesome.
it's a simple but very widely used jeweled movement. rugged and accurate too.
glass back gives a full view of the guts.
wide range of adjustment on the bracelet. should fit just about anyone.
doesn't seem as pinchy as they used to.
looks so much better in person. attracts a lot of comments and disbelief of the price.
even if i tell people it cost $10 more than i paid for it, they don't believe me.
CAME IN A BOX!!!
[thank you dx]

Cons:

a little hard to read at a glance.
hard to drill it in a woman's head, or anyone for that matter, that it needs to be wound daily.
that is not a product con, it's a people con!

Other Thoughts:

just a really simple, exspensive looking well performing little mechanical watch.

Bottomline:

great gift.
also a good one to buy if you just like mechanical watches.... like i do.
it's a nice addition to any collection.

Pros:

cool little colt branded knife.
very cool design. fit and finish are really good. aluminum scales makes it light weight. but it is balanced nicely.
unique lock is released by pushin' the button. it has a pin that fits a hole in the blade tang and locks it pretty securely. mine came sharp enough to shave arm hair. well oiled. straight blade alignment on both knives i recieved.
has 440 "etched" on the blade and is probably correct.
torx screws throughout, so disassembley and cleaning should be easy. feels good in the hand. paint feels textured.
there is no "play" in the blade when locked or unlocked.
VERY strong pocket clip! [that can be removed]
the blade point is a modified tanto that gives the blade some extra thickness toward the point. [but don't use it like a pry bar]
great price too. has the look and feel of a knife costing 3 or 4 times as much.

Cons:

the pocket clip is extremely strong.
the paint on the scales might scratch easy.
[reason for a 4 star quality rating, otherwise it would be a 5 star]

Other Thoughts:

nice knife.
easily scratched paint does not hinder performance.

Bottomline:

another great knife from dx.
buy several.
will make a great gift, or should at least double your money reselling them.

Pros:

BIG! slightly bigger than the SKU.14045 tachymetre series of watches.
uses the same jeweled automatic mechanical movement too. so it is a well known, reliable and accurate movement. as well as bein' a fairly rugged one too.
the movement "floats" in the case by bein' screwed to a thick, clear plastic face. very cool effect.
glass on front and back for a full view of the "guts".
has large easy to see min/hour hands with glow paint. standard sweep second hand.
the simulated "allen head" bolts look pretty good, and give good refference points for time keepin'.... seein' as there is 12 of them.
the bracelet is of the folded steel type.... but of much higher quality than most other IK watches i have. so far this one hasn't pulled a hair yet on my arm.
the links were the standard pin held links and easy to remove. there is also 7 positions on the clasp for fine tuning your adjustment.
it will adjust down to fit small wrists too. i have pretty small wrists and still have room to go smaller.
looks great even on my small wrists.
can be manualy wound too. [recomended at least once daily]
it's pretty heavy too.
much much more attractive in person.
the movement has a sunburst style pattern machined on it.
very nice fit and finish, well built.
COMES IN A BOX!!!

Cons:

size may be an issue for some..... but i'm gettin' used to the larger sized watches.
it's almost like a pocket watch on my arm.

Other Thoughts:

would look good on a big burly biker dude.
came in a box!!
if you are into mechanical warches, this one is a great one for a collection.

Bottomline:

great watch that will draw a lot of comments. and has the feel of watches much more expensive.
i know family and friends are gonna want one too when they see mine.
DID I MENTION THAT IT CAME IN A BOX?

Pros:

BRIGHT!!!
i was really surprised, see title, by the output of this little booger.
the build is pretty good. threads are nice. finish is even.
uses an extremely affordable and available aaa batt.
it is ver small. great edc.... or even a key chain light depending on how much junk you carry on your keychain.
large hotspot with a much longer throw than i was expecting.
price is decent.

Cons:

constuction is a little shoddy. the "pill" is held in place by a spring clip instead of being threaded in. the switch apppears to be pressed in and is mostly plastic.
it's also a reverse click. due to the "crowning" of the bezel it has a weird looking outer ring of the beam.

Other Thoughts:

the cons aren't really cons, they're just my dislikes of how it's built. they used good materials where its imprtant like the aluminum reflector and glass window. it works absolutely fine the way it is.
it's so odd to hold a light not much bigger than the aaa powering it, that puts out more light than my 2d led maglite.

Bottomline:

very immpressive output.
the price is ok.
good little light to have stahed in various places around the house.
should make for a great gift too.

Pros:

first things first..... it's obviously not a real benchmade brand knife.
with that out of the way, it is a very well built little knife for $7+. it's fairly heavy leading me to believe the scales are stainless steel and not aluminum or plastic.
the coating seems pretty good.
fit and finish are nice. it was well oiled. and needed no "fine tuning" to the liner lock. it snaps locked like it's supposed to.
the 2 i recieved were very sharp. sharp enough to shave the hair off my hand. [which looks a little funny]
nice size and has a strong pocket clip.
has a "flipper" to help open the blade.

Cons:

benchmade logo..... it's a decent little knife that doesn't need the big name on it.
the "flipper" might make some folks think it's an assisted opening knife.
IT IS NOT SPRING ASSISTED.

Other Thoughts:

great lookin' knife. built with torx screws throughout, so disassembly for cleaning is possible.
heavier than it looks.

Bottomline:

i like it.
and if people i show it to like it too, i'll be gettin' more of them.
great knife for under $8.

Pros:

wow..... nice little light.
very well made. everything fits well and seems to be of good materials.
nice knurling in the center of the body.
it may be the brightest single aa [1.5v] light that i own.
very impressed by the output. it's nearly as bright as my rc-n3 on the hi setting. throw is respectable for such a small reflector.
the threads feel good, and it has o-rings thoughout at all the needed places. o-rings are lightly lubed and tight fitting.
my impression is that it is at least submergable at shallow depths. so if it was dropped in a mud puddle or creek it should survive.
the finish seems to be very tough.... don't know if it's ha3 or not. the button is recessed by the switch housing. it can tailstand, and that also prevents it from accidently coming on in my pocket. it has lanyard holes, but none provided. which is good, i have a drawer full of lanyards and didn't need another one.
nice springy pocket clip that clips on to the light body. as frills stated in his review, the clip direction can be changed from light down to light up by swapping the ends around.
has a fairly large hotspot with an acceptable amount of sidespill. no ringy beam on my example. the amount of orange peal texture is about average on the reflector.
excellent size for an edc light.

Cons:

a nice light like this needs a forward tacticle style switch.

Other Thoughts:

very impressive output.
the finish is a semi flat black. it is not a slippery feeling paint/finish so it should aid in grip.
it's the first hugsby light i've bought. i think the build is comparable to romisen..... and i REALLY like romisens.
reviews need a section where the reviewer can come back at a later date and add updates.
also would like an involvement level between "expert" and "knows how to use it".
because that's my status.... i know more than just how to use it, but wouldn't call myself an expert. [yet]

Bottomline:

nice little BRIGHT light.
worth the price and then some.
a good light to make a flashaholic out of a non believer.
if it had a forward click, it would almost replace the rc-g2 as my favorite light.
i'll see how the finish holds up after a couple weeks of use.

Pros:

great little light. tank007 is really buildin' some decent stuff. knockin' on romisens door a little bit.
nice red finish is a good one for an emergancy kit, or if your're just sick of black ones.
everything fits well. it is very bright. i had forgotten how WHITE the beam is from an ssc u-bin emitter. wow.
fits very nicely in the front pocket of my jeans. can run on 1 or 2 aaa batteries. decent pocket clip that is removable, and has a lanyard hole too.
makes for an awesome repair light. up close it's like handheld daylight!
running it on one aaa makes it very compact, yet it's still pretty bright.
supposed to be ha 3 anodized.... haven't tried to scratch it yet.
i will not do the drop or smack test to my own light!

Cons:

needs a forward clicky switch.
may need to replace the center o ring with a thicker one to hold the sections together tighter. threads are great, bur after a few times of takin' it apart i could see the o ring possibly being an issue as it wears.
this light is great up to about 60 or 70 feet, but fizzles past that point. and for good reason, it has such a tiny reflector. so it's not a thrower.

Other Thoughts:

ssc p4 u-bin led's are too often overlooked in favor of cree emitters. i'm guilty of it too.
but they perform every bit as well.
i converted a coast aa a while back from a luxeon3 to an ssc p4. HUGE difference! like i said, i'de forgot how good the ssc's are.
most of the parts will interchange between this and SKU.26988 that runs a cree q3. a bad battery ate the switch, but i can put the q3 bezel on this light. it doesn't seem to be affected by the additional voltage.

Bottomline:

great edc light.
will make great gifts too.
also comes in black.
very attractive.

Pros:

i seen them and thought.... eh, why not?
i was very nicely surprised at the quality.
it looks absolutely no different than steel rings i looked at in jewelry and dept stores.
i have three sets.
size 7 and size 8.
the first set had the small ring with the concave design, but the last 2 had the size 8 with the concave design.
very nice rings if your are size 7 or 8.
insanely nice rings for $2.60!
they are made of stainless steel and not titanium.

Cons:

none

Other Thoughts:

i'm getting married and thought i'de see what these were like.
very surprised. not actualy goin' to use them for my wedding ring, but you could and no one would be the wiser.
they look and feel that good.
stainless is very tough, but easy to polish using 600 grit for the high polish and 220 for the brushed look.
i have worn one for 2 weeks and my finger isn't green, or broke out in a rash.
dx needs to get these in other sizes but truth be known, a factoty or warehouse probably had a huge overstock on 7's and 8's because it's a small size for men.
[i have small fingers]

Bottomline:

buy a few even if your not in the market for a ring or 2. someone you know might be.
would make a great gift.
as long as they are a size 7 or 8.
i think they can be resized. if not by a jeweler, then deffinately by a welder/machinest.

Pros:

it's my first assisted opening knife... without a button.
it looks very nice. good finish.
fit was ok.
edge is sharp enough to shave arm hair.
very attractive wood inlaid scale.
almost looks like a piece of burlwood or curly maple but feels like pine.
looks good whatever it is.
mine operates very smooth, and the blade snaps back into the closed position. doesn't feel like it will open accidently with a light bump or two of the blade lever.
uses a flat spring instead of a coil spring. blade sideplay and tension can be adjusted.
blade up carry clip.
nice shape and feel in the hand.
the full scales are aluminum with steel liners and a typical liner lock. torx screws though out.
also locks solidly when opening. no play between the lock and blade.
lock ingages edge of blade with plenty of room for wear before any slack will be an issue.
the spring picks up tension 2/3rds of the way closed. it is truly a one handed operable knife.

Cons:

paint durability is questionable, but it is usualy sacraficed on most knives and not a real issue to me.
parks itself slightly offset when closed.
[doesn't make contact with liner and is straight when open]

Other Thoughts:

opens relatively fast.
but not like my [real] benchmade stryker that nearly jumps out of my hand when deployed.

Bottomline:

it's a nice looking knife.
nice operating knife.
seems to be well built for the money.
a real good value @ $20, but this one only costs around $8.
deffinately one for the collection.

Pros:

nice looking. well built.
is the same pattern knife as SKU18252.
fairly sharp out of the box. mine will shave hair with ease.
a little more rugged material used on this one compared to it's shiney brother.
the scales are stainless and not aluminum. it has some heft to it.
it's much more of a working usable knife.
it has all the design and feel of 18252 without the polish.
if you like your 18252 but don't want to wreck it, this is the answer.
fit and finish are as good as the 18252's i've bought.
it was oily, but that's a plus to me.
operates smoothly. locks positively.

Cons:

not as attractive as 18252. [that's what makes it a good work knife]
boker is a decal or painted on, not etched or engraved.
i believe it will rub off fairly quickly.
it's sturdiness makes it a tad heavy. so if you wear droopy britches, you'll be singin' "pants on the ground" pretty soon.
since the extra steps weren't taken to polish the blade or scales, i thought the price should be a little lower.
i guess the exspense of extra stainless steel evens out the price.

Other Thoughts:

keep in mind this is obviously not a boker.
it is no where near the quality of a real boker.
but for a $9, it is an excellent buy.
and a good knife.

Bottomline:

solid attractive, but not a polished gem in your collection that is too attractive to use as a working knife you will beat on a lot.
i'll carry it a little while to see how it holds up. most likely i will buy more.
i bought a few of 18252 and the were great gifts.
i think this one will be too.

Pros:

very lightweight!
well balanced.
nice grip on the hard rubber handle.
holds edge for a long time.
handles light butchering with ease.
goes through chicken, pork, and beef very nicely.
handles delicate cutting like deboning a chicken and butterfly cuts on pork and beef.

Cons:

doesn't feel that sharp to the touch.
won't shave arm hair very well...... but it will split your hand open when not paying attention.
it is VERY SHARP.
as the title reads, it is decievingly sharp.
having in mind that it won't shave hair is misleading.
it's not meant to shave hair... it's meant to cut meat.
our hands are meat.
it does that very well, so that's a pro i guess.
needs to be shapened with a "diamond" stone.[but not before using it for quite some time]
not a multitasker!
it's ceramic, it will shatter if used wrong.

Other Thoughts:

only give as a gift if you know that person is capable of handling knives with a profesional edge.

Bottomline:

great price on a ceramic blade.
it's a specialized knife.
not meant for general kitchen duty.
keep that in mind and this will be a knife you won't want to be without.

Pros:

nice sized light.
well made, tight threads and seals.
appears to have a glass lens.
reverse click switch.
widely available and affordable aaa battery.
very bright for size and power source.
good knurling, and red anodizing.

Cons:

gets hot.
inconsistant beam color between lights.
a couple were slightly yellow, while another was pure white.

Other Thoughts:

good gift for a non flashaholic.
it will impress those that aren't knowledgable of wide variety of lights being produced today.

Bottomline:

good light for stashing in tool box, first aid kit, glove box, desk drawer... ect.
great light for kids too.
price could be a little lower... maybe a dollar cheaper.
even at $8 you won't find anything like it at the local everything store.

Pros:

seems to be made very well.
the cable is plenty long enough at just over 3ft.
it is an honest 2.0 usb in my opinion.
much much faster than the old usb hub i was using.
the configuration of ports allow the use of just about any shape flash drive or card reader.
very good price too.
handles device to device transfer very well, quick.

Cons:

kind of bulky.
gets a little warm when doing a lot of data transfer.
i lay it on an old heat sink that used to cool a pentium 4, it works well in keeping it cool.

Other Thoughts:

seems durable enough for office, school, home, or church use.

Bottomline:

great usb hub if you want a purely functional hub.
priced low enough to afford several.

Pros:

great looking design. feels very good in the hand and is quite small.
has the standard high quality build i've come to expect from romisen.
has a q5 in it and is very very bright with an outstanding throw for such a small reflector.
has a very smooth forward click switch.
it's smaller than expected and when you see that much light come out of something so small it's pretty amazing. great pocket light, the smooth design makes it easier to carry and can fit in my front jeans pocket with out too much discomfort, but better suited for shirt/jacket pockets and purses.
good one for the glove box too.
the nice shape makes you want to show it off, and then the output backs up it's good looks.

Cons:

battery rattle, but again, a piece of paper around the batts cured it.
the button is pretty small and may be a little hard to press if you have gorilla hands.
as another reviewer said, replacing/repairing the switch may be somewhat of a pain in the a$$ because it's tucked way up inside the back half of the light.
but i haven't had a romisen switch fail me yet.
the body's really smooth..... slick actually, and could be a little tough to hold on to with wet hands.

Other Thoughts:

very nice, pretty design, if there is such a thing with flashlights.

Bottomline:

great built, super bright, good price.
good gift light because of it's impressive style.
it's a light i think i'll be buying more of to impress the hard to please people in the family.

Pros:

awesome little light.
great price.
barely bigger than the aaa battery that powers it.
very well built.
seems tankoo7 [?] can build them nearly as good as romisen.
nicely knurled body. very smooth feeling switch. has clear silicon o-rings.
tiny light.
puts out a surprising amount of light for such a small size.
not a strong thrower or a powerhouse flood light, but very good up to about 50 or 60 ft.
i would say it's bright enough to be a close range deffensive light. you pop an attacker in the eyes with a blink or two from this little light and they will be temorarily blinded.

Cons:

a forward click would be nice.
it's not totaly sealed from water even thought it has o-rings in all the right places. they should have used a silicon tailswitch cover to seal it.
biggeest con.....dx is TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK, meaning they don't have them any more. so this review is useless.

Other Thoughts:

i want more of these lights, they are very useful.
would make awesome gifts.
also a very good edc light.

Bottomline:

dx needs to get more of these. they need to find another supplier or go directly to the factory.
very disappointed that they're out of stock.
i must have bought the last one!
sorry, but i'm glad i got it.

Pros:

great build quality, of coarse, because it's a romisen.
nice design, and size. great edc light.
forward click switch.
very sturdy bulid.... thick.
this one has a p2 cree in it.
runs on one widely available and affordable aa battery. [.... no 14500 3.6v! it will fry it!]
throw is decent, with usable side spill. medium sized hotspot.
bright orange switch cover.

Cons:

has a p2 in it, while it's blue-ish silver brother, sku3879, has a p4.
so this one isn't as bright as it should be.
it has the same driver and p2 cree that the rc-g2 has, yet this light is smaller and cost $2 more.

Other Thoughts:

good design, nice size and weight.
would be a very good one to upgrade with a q5 cree available here on DX.

Bottomline:

it's a solid light with medium performance due to the emmiter. needs to be updated some, but it's an easy mod for anyone with a little skill.

Pros:

great little light! very well built, with a nice blueish silver finish. has a p4 running on 2 aaa batteries. it's as bright as the rc-c3. i wouldn't be surprised if the lights shared the same driver and possibly the reflecter. it's about the same size as a minimag 2 aaa, and brighter than my 2 d-cell 3watt led maglite...... for half the cost and a 1/4 the size! has a nice feeling foward click switch too. it's also as bright as my rc-n3, but doesn't quite have the throw because of a different reflecter design. nicely knurled grip and crowned bezel.
runtime should be in the 2 to 3 hour range. the rc-c3 i converted to run on 2 aaa's has a run time of 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours depending on the brand of alkylines used. a litte less on nimh rechargeables.... but hey, they're rechargeable. i see no reason this light won't have a very similar runtime. it's pocketable in a jacket ar loose fittin' britches.
bright enough to be used defensively.

Cons:

slight battery rattle that was taken care of with a piece of paper around the batts.

Other Thoughts:

i am very pleased with this little light.
it really is another awesome light from romisen.

Bottomline:

if you are looking for a great flashlight for a very good price, i can safely tell you that you will be happy with this light, actually any light with the romisen name on it is a smart purchase. one you'll be glad you made!

Pros:

kind of neat, and rare these days with the jeweled mechanical movement. waving chairman starts up after a few winds of the stem. push button in the middle of the crown to open "hunter" style case.
the rear cover snaps on. made of pot metal with a copper-ish old penny look. has a plastic "lens". comes with a like-colored chain and clip. [of which i have no use for]

Cons:

funky lookin'. not the most accurate watch on the planet.
run time on a single full wind is just over 24 hours..... that's about 12 hours shorter than expected.

Other Thoughts:

great gift for anyone that collects watches because it's so unique.

Bottomline:

it's a cool novelty watch worth every penny of $9 just for the movement alone.
