haha accidentally broke a window. cool you let him know though. your commentary and jokes and overall personality is great and i appreciate the laughs. you deserve more subs and hope to see it happen, Ill be coming back to this channel a lot. Thank you!

@@thedoubtfultechnician8067 don't feel bad. i was telling you in my head to turn them around, but i've done the same thing too many times to count and definitely will again some day.
Thanks for tearing it down, so we don't have to, or if we need to. I REALLY like that you can use the 7K to charge your battery bank, and recycle the electricity to recharge the 7K; will be super useful for your off-grid home or to charge your flying saucer.
I dont know much about flashflights, but i would like to get the best bang for your buck flashlight around the same price range. Do you have any specific model flashlights you would recommend? I do realzied you mentioned some brands, but was wondering if you recommend a specific model over this one?
I appreciate you doing all the things i wanted to do to this flash light so i didnt have to. Bought this a few days ago on a trip to harbor frieght with my father. I am a bit disappointed in the quality on the inside giving i spent 70 bucks on it. But, if i can get 3 years or more out of it ill be okay. Great video man.
Great in depth review. HF keeps me want one, but I’ve been very standoff-ish because the price really does seem ridiculous for a HF flashlight. However, they have the old quantum 6000 lumen one on sale for $26 right now, so I think I’ll just pick one of those up. Thanks for the insight. 👍
I just got one, but I had 2 $25 coupons and $7.63 left on a gift card, plus double cash back on the HF card and 10% off everything in the store. So, it was worth what I paid. I wanted one, but was always hesitant at the $70 price tag.
Love the review and the comments. No BS waisting time on Talkin about the look or the "aircraft grade" outer body. Everyone who has owned enough flashlights knows it's usually the internals that go to crap as long as it's not plastic housing from the 90s. The water test was great and a real world test......not just pouring water on it or putting it in the bathtub for a few minutes. Be a cheap bugger I look forward to future reviews of cheap Chinese (hopefully not crap) flashlights sold at HF.

@ehdrien5031 Biomedical engineering technology, BMET. But 95% of what I know came from either years of having to fix the things I broke, or on the job learning. A degree is just what gets you in the door. Curiosity is what makes you useful!
you know how much Amps every mode drains, so it's pretty easy to calculate, as LED efficiency is around 100 lumen/watt. just do Amps*Volts*100 (lumen), and you'll get the output. (it's about 100/1500/4500 on low/mid/max). no 7K for sure.
I went through several phases in my journey. It started at Lowes and HD with Coast brand lights. A few were actually good, many left me wanting more. The coast tp9r is probably the best they make. Then I went to some off brand Medard's lights, not happy. One is exactly like this light. Next came Harbor Freight lights, still not happy. In the end I tried a few Fenix lights and was sold. For what I had spent on all the "other lights" I could have just had a few ultra nice pro lights. I love the Fenix lt80r, the ht18 and lr35r. Save up and enjoy the finer things. I sold and gave away all the other lights besides the Coast tp9r and the Fenix lights. That built to the bottom dollar light for $70 or a quality Fenix lr35r for $170...? Easy for me! Also, I just like Fenix. There are several brands just like them that are same quality and price. Do some research and try out a nice light.
Hey Genius , Reverse the grip on those channel locks to make them bite. That wrench is directional. Nice vid btw :)' I see at the last you did,lol. hot stuff huh!!!
Listen I know this was 9 months ago but watching you using those channel locks backward made me yell at the screen. This woke up my cat so I had to give him treats. Then when you finally used them the correct direction (but still not adjusted to get the handles close together) I yelled "HAH! SEE?!" which woke up my panther and now I'm missing a hand so I figure you owe me about two and a half hot dogs.
Dude half way thru the video you had me look up the flashlight find a couple for 29 percent off at my local harbor freight, went and picked up two of them after waiting on hold for 20 min 😂 they finally held those for me and I drove down there. Paid $110 and some change out the door so they came out to 49.99 plus tax. (California has like a ten percent tax) and now I’m home with two of theses finishing the video 🤠🫡
“You’ll understand when you’re older” 😂 boy is that true
my dad did the same thing we me, and boy, did I understand

FWI slip joint pliers are directional, I see on the third try you may have figured that out.

I fucking love this channel dude please make more videos on ur workbench
doesn't you taking the thing apart void any sort of warranty or protection plan agreement?
Man i wish i got more of those moments with my dad when i was a kid
excellent presentation...

I'm enjoying the AvE references in your videos.
The entertainment factor, along with the review, was good!
Curious to see what's the true lumens output is.

That’s good to know
Isn't a quality built USB interface 5000lm flashlight double price of Braun? Especially when discounted to $40 sale price 😮...
A quality built light is roughly the same price.
I'm glad you flipped your pliers the right way lmfao
88$? That's as much as the sofirn Q8 plus.
They are listed for $70us. But the 25% coupon does (or did) work for the flashlights. So when I bought mine, I paid ~$53us.

quite a decent flashlight. I mean, it least it has proper heatsink. will get hot at max output and drop brightness, still it's quite beefy.
water cooled fishlight (yes new device fishlight) omg DT has solved free energy and all the greenies rejoice (yeeeeehhh)
You should take it back to the store in a bag.
Using a soldering iron to melt plastic. Yeah, that explains a lot.
Wow, must be nice to have enough money to buy a $70 flashlight -- and then destroy it.
Do you ever _just_ appreciate anything?
