A rechargeable flashlight. Well, more specifically a lithium-ion rechargeable flashlight. I've no problem with NiMH/eneloops.

Day 26

(Image removed from quote.)

I tried starting fire with this 8 W2 leds Hanklight (approximately 7000-8000 lumens?), but wasn't successful. I have seen it done on YT in the past, and my wild guess is the relative humidity is usually really high where I live and it's been raining for the past few days, so it's even harder to make it lit.

That light looks very floody. My first thought would be that you may have enough output power, but need a way to focus the beam.

Very nice knives all. I have been carrying this LH&C for a week straight and really enjoying it.

I have a small 6 inch pry bar that I use a fair bit on projects around the house, but I see no neet to EDC it. I also don't see the point of all the 2" pry bars that are prevalent in the EDC world. I just don't see that they give enough leverage to be useful.

That said, I enjoy small pry bar tools like the Gerber Shard, Mullet and Artifact, but that's mostly for the other tools on them.

I don't think I'd ever EDC the Schrade NaviTool, and someone would have to put a lot of effort into convincing me to EDC any modern Schrade.

If you are referring to the cut style file, I find it to be overly aggressive and prefer the grit texture one.

Day 26

The kitchen ceiling fan was wobbly. It was somehow missing a screw. I took the loose blade off so I could take the other screw to the HW store to match, then tightened up the others. 711 ratchet called into service detached to get into some tight spaces for the ones that were still mounted.
