I like that you criticize the tools they send you. You don’t give into the hype.
Some are good..Some are bad...If I'm not honest I'm not very useful to anyone
Yeah the dishonest reviews are terrible... I woke up to 7 reviews of these products in the subscription tab 😂
Only watched this review 😁
Never been a huge Olight fan, but the Arkfeld is the perfect form factor for how I like to carry my lights.
The arkfield is is my first full size olight I've ever bought, I'm very impressed, specifically for how it carries in pocket, like you said it disappears and feels very comfortable even in small pocket jeans.
The button UI is also very easy unlike many one button lights imo.
Thanks 👍
Like your videos man, thanks! Keep up the great work!
As en HVAC Engineer running around on construction sites a lot, one of my main tasks is to point on things. I think the flashlight laser combo could come in handy and looks much more durable then the Open Pro
And open pro is not waterproof and 1000lm is no joke
Picked up the arkfeld, perfect for the ship
I visit a lot of job sites, and I carry around an open pro specifically for the laser. I also carry a flashlight because some places are not well lit. I feel like the arkfeld was made for me 😂.
That Arkfeld is really intriguing. I’ve enjoyed everything about my streamlight wedge except that its battery capacity is more than I need. I frequently need to use my light to draw people’s attention to a particular object and being able to toggle to a laser for precision pointing would be *amazing*.
A suggestion brought on by watching the OTacle 2 segment. With a pry bar, let us know what the material is up front. That's a very significant data point. I haven't seen an in-depth look at the Arkfeld from you, will you be doing one?
I get a lot of use with the laser on the job. I like the mag charger as well.
I've totally given up on olight for defensive purposes. I've had too many issues with the warrior series tail switchs not working every time or turning on by itself too often. I've also broken two Odins as well as two PL Pro Valkyries and a Balder Mini. But I run my guns in classes and 3 gun matches. An the olights just don't hold up to lots of recoil or abuse.
They make an awesome utility light and work great for camping or hiking. But I won't trust one with my life or on a gun really. I still love my warrior flashlights and the i5T and i3T series are great little lights. So they still have a place.
But I've switched out the warrior mini 2 for a Surefire Stiletto Pro and all my weapons lights are either Streamlight or Surefire at this point.
If I'm going camping or need a work light I'll grab an olight. But if I'm about to step into some shit I want a Surefire.
Makes sense
I'm thinking of getting one it would be really useful in the recycling yard I work at one of our main tools is a magnet which is something you didn't mention..... The light would be awesome in darker areas of the yard and the laser would be good for pointing certain things out from a distance
If the Oracle 2 didn't have the little wrench area, and had a better pocket clip, I would be all about it.
If anyone finds a link to replacement blades that would work please post
I just bought the arkfeld. I supervise a facilities maintenance shop and usually carry a baton 3 and an OPen pro, so I'm hoping this will be the best of both.
Wow, that's basically the exact cross..my only issue with the open pro is that it's not waterproof...this is.
Great overview on the products! I agree with your overview 100 percent! Thank you for sharing! As soon as I saw the photo of the utility knife … I was like, that looks really cool! I need one! I’m going to buy that one! All was great… until you said the blade wasn’t standard. What? Why would they design a utility knife using a non-standard blade? C’mon! The product manager for the utility knife needs to be replaced! Unbelievable!
Does Amazon sell the razor blades needed for the Otacle? I would have like to have seen you remove the razor blade.
Not 100% sure...my guess is yes..I'll put a link to them if I find them in the description
i have several different olights i love them BUT at least on mine the magnetic charger has different polarity so i have to use several different charger which is STUPID I don't know if they have changed that or not
I have never seen that! Contact olight, that's wierd af.
How do you remove the pocket clip without scratching the anodized surface? I have seen multiple reports of the pocket clip removing the anodized surface.
its the nature of the beast...clips grip hard and usually wear into the ano
Great review. Really appreciate you applying the logic of the average "use case" when you take a look at things.
Not really sure why they have to use a proprietary battery when Nebo manages to use normal batteries and still use a great magnetic charging system.
No idea...I'd also be happy if you could use any battery but also the magnetic system...like the Baton s1r2
I quite like the shape and style of the utility knife and pry tool. Shame the utility blade choice isn’t one of the common ones and I’m guessing you’ll need a torx driver handy to change the blade?.
Just a flat head to replace the blades.
@@maxlvledc Ah ok, I see now after a closer look. Thanks 👍🏻
wish it was offered in Canada... maybe they will later i duno..
No phillips driver on either pocket tool?
Seems like a large oversight
Agreed
I ordered the Arkfield today.
It's actually a good design...the lazer is something I didn't even consider...but my mother who is a project manager in construction immediately recognized how useful it would be (gave it to her)
@@YasilTorvanna Sorry if im seeming like a douche but what are you trying to say with your comment.
How should I rate flashlights for youtube?
Shoot your review in the middle of the day!
Sounds good!
Hahaha , had to get it done...limited time 😅. But I've since used the arkfeld a ton and love it.
@Maxlvledc thank you for the time you put into this video. That Arkfeld has been calling out to me, but this guy needs to save some money...or maybe I'll just pull the trigger and make that an issue for my future self lol.
the magnetic charging can cause short circuit because of metal tail switch and the dirt drain in the tail switch .. and its hard to switch. i like the type c charging than magnetic charging and the battery you cannot use any brand...exclusive batterry from olight''
Your right, I've mentioned a few times that the tail switches by olight are prone to getting things stuck in them that cause major issues...Good for average person..not for someone hard on their gear..the Thrunite I reviewed would be better for that.
Great review video! Bottle openers always seem pointless to me, there must be something more useful they can do with that area.
Do you happen to know the power of the laser? I looks like it was cut off in the video. Fun fact: Laser pointers are GREAT for scaring away geese at night. I have never had one powerful enough to try during the day though. If you know an area that issues with geese at night (ball fields, community ponds, parking lots, etc.) Try a laser pointer. I also find that green works better than red.
It's not super powerful, but still visible at 100 feet in full daylight
@@maxlvledc outdoors?
@@b.griffinarmstrong8677 yea, wont show up on something in full sunlight but still works outdoors
@@maxlvledc Thanks for the info.
streamlight wedge is the glock 19 of flashlights. this is the sig p365
The streamlight is ipx4...so....wouldn't the olight be the glock?
@@maxlvledc ok yeah I guess lol. I was just saying basic features but works like a champ. the wedge is my edc.
Laser envy
I’ve decided to call that copper bit a patina plate
The magnetic proprietary charging is why I avoid olight. Sad because some lights have decent features.
For me its USB C or I wont purchase
I get it...but the cost of usbc is in the potential to have water get in if there is no silicon cover of some sort. It's a give and take. I go back and forth. I have both...not sure which is better...I travel with the Baton 3 + case because it's the best of everything
@@maxlvledc The Streamlight style of twist/screw to reveal the charging port is the best in my opinion. Fenix have incorporated that into a few new lights recently. I’m getting a Fenix PD25r this week.
wow
@@maxlvledc Until olight drops their proprietary nonsense (cables, batteries, ink cartridges, and so on) then there's still no justification even for the baton 3 + case cause all the case and light combo do is force you to carry a proprietary battery bank that only charges just that one device only. No offense but you seriously sound like alot of reviewers who put out "unbiased" olight reviews where it comes off as sponsored script reading.
@@Horde334 who said I was unbiased? I genuinely like olights charging system, hell I was a major consumer of theirs way before they sent me any lights. I do however dislike a number of their products. The Arkfield though is a very good combination of features, and unlike its competitor...is actually waterproof.
There is only a 2 year warranty on the Arfeld ...
Considering the fixed battery, this is the definition of planned obsolescence
I think that's the same for all their lights...5 years if your a certain level on their website.
@@maxlvledc unfortunately not:
- 5 years for their standard lights
- 2 years for lights with fixed batteries (check the box of the Arkfeld)
- 1 year for included batteries
- Lifetime warranty only if you spent about >3k in their shop! ... However it's completely uncertain if the lifetime-warranty is actually valid for the included (or fixed) batteries
btw:
I have lifetime warranty - and when one of my charging cables died, they told me that the warranty (usually) does not include any accessories - however they still send me a new cable completely free
Can you make review of Nextool Flagship Pro KT5020 16-in-1?
Many people talking that this brand makes another level multitools and very soon will get over the overrated Leatherman.
Nope, they won't overtake leatherman because of their material and overall QC..but still..they are one of the top off brands. I will do the whole nextool line at some point.
They use a 0 blade lol! Politically correct!
underrated O comment.
That's O right!
I get early access to Olight sales but to tell you the truth, nothing they were offering interest me at all. Maybe the box cutter but it’s only a dollar cheaper than the standard price (plus what you brought up about the blade). Don’t like the prey tool as much as the last one with bits in it (I edc that one). A flat flashlight with a laser pointer? I’m not going to get any use out of this. I already own two Olight pens with laser pointers. So I’m skipping this sale.
Makes sense to me!
Olight is way over priced!! Not to mention they use cool white way too much. I like 3000k to 4500k much better but that's never an option!!!! Rather buy Sofirn or Convoy any day!!!
Olight prices are really only competitive during sales. But quality has been good in my experience. Can't argue with going to sofirn. Amazing lights for the money.
