Inspection : AAAx2 Extreme - Tactical Light by Maratac® Rev 3
Customer Reviews
These are great for use all over the house! I have one in my desk and use it for inspecting circuit boards, connections, etc. I keep one by the bed for power outages, etc., one in my truck and one in my laptop bag which makes finding things easy during redeye flights.
The one big issue many have had is the battery rattle - I have found an easy solution - a single wrap of Professional grade PTFE thread tape (i.e. Blue Monster) solves the problem completely!
The title says it all - and here's some additional points as to why this light should be purchased: 1) Has three (3) illumination levels of intensity. 2) Lightweight - can fit very comfortably in a shirt or trouser pocket, with a very slight profile. 3) Solid construction - this could likely be used to great effect as a kubaton. 4) Add a lightweight lockblade knife and a dependable lighter - EDC!
This is everything I want in a 2xAAA flashlight:
1. Simple tail-switch operation.
2. Partial unscrew of tail cap disables circuit so flashlight can’t turn on accidentally.
3. Moonlight light level that lasts a VERY long time. It’s enough to read a map or a book and is very inconspicuous.
4. Max light level is very good for a small flashlight.
5. Ergonomics and hand feel are impeccable.
6. Amazingly light weight.
I gave 4 units to family members who also like this flashlight.
Nice sized light with three settings. I'm not sure the lowest setting is going to be that useful, but I've just started using this flashlight. I do really like how the flashlight easily distinguishes between switch presses so you can turn the light on and off without accidentally switching brightness levels. There is a HUGE difference between brightness levels, so being able to protect yourself from inadvertent light level changes.
I bought a Streamlight because I thought it would be “better” than this one. I was wrong and this CountyComm light is still my go-to EDC. Better lumen, better construction, just better overall in my opinion.
