I was thinking that a flashlight review section would be neat to have on the main site. What do you guys think?

Probobly not worth having a whole section just for Fashlight reviews as this is primarily a Multitool site. I suppose one option is that you could have two Review sections - maybe a Multitool Reviews and an EDC Reviews (includes flashlight), just an idea.

Excellent suggestion, but between the Review section and the Flashlight section I would have thought that the whole concept was covered.

If there's something you think is lacking, please send me a PM to let me know and we can explore it further.

I think Viper is referring to having a flashlight review section on the Main Site....which ain't a bad idea IMO

It is a distinct possibility.  Do we have enough flashlight reviews to justify such a thing?

I've got another one coming soon, the ZebraLight H50Q5. Should be posted sometime this week. I have more lights to review but I've been trying to stick to "odd" lights that are more useful to the MTO member.

How about one review section with knives and lights since we only have a few..  If it ever gets "out of hand" having too many of them together, split it into two sections.

How about if we took the knife section and changed it to a Miscellaneous Doodads section with knife and flashlight subsections?  We could also add other subsections if anything else came along that we wanted to devote space to.

Been looking at the main page Def and just wanted to let you know that in the 'Manufacturers Information' all the links seem to be dead.

I never planned to call it doodads!  :P

I'll call it "Accessories" or something similar.

And since when are we worried about professionalism anyway?  :pok:

A miscellaneous sections sounds superb! In fact, if we are putting knives in there too, I can get up about 5 reviews tomorrow!

I was under the impression that the knife review section was for multi-tools based on knives, rather than pliers or scissors. I guess it's because all the knives in there already happen to be multi-purpose (probably due to the nature of these forums!)

There are already a hundred thousand different knife review places and we were aiming to keep it a bit different by featuring knives that would appeal most to the tool user, but yeah, I'm open to just about anything really.
