Yeah, that's kind of my position as well.  I have to try and think of scenarios where the magnet might be useful to me and I can't think of many (if any at all).

I'm sure there are people who use them all the time, but it's not me. 

If they made them optional or removable there are quite a few lights I might have bought, so perhaps my wallet is a bit better off. :D

I work inside dark steel equipment racks every day so the magnet can be handy on every single job for me.
I do have much better light options for that too but I still find it pretty handy to just carry one with a magnet at all times for impromptu work,just like why I carry a MT all the time!

Not been a problem for me but I dont keep them in the same pocket with anything else.
I could see that being an issue though.

Whereas I just drop way too much smurf in the same pockets. :D  Glad it works well for you. :tu:

I picked up these three this week. Figured I would give other brands a try. Trying Acebean and Thrunite for the first time. Also went with dual mode flashlights this time for the battery flexibility.

I've had a couple of Thrunite lights over the years without any complaints.  Don't think I've tried Acebeam before though.  Been a long time since I bought a 2AA light mind you!  Kinda glad they're still being made.  :tu:

From my experience both are nice for the price point.

Thanks Sos24 and Gareth. I figured these would be great for travel and the glove boxes. If I forget to charge it, I can always get batteries at the quicky mart or grocery store. The UI of the Thrunite is really good. The one on the Acebeams requires a learning curve.

Picked up two more flashlights. This time decided to give Nitecore a try.

I’ve only tried one Nitecore flashlight (Tubi 2) which was nice especially for the size.  Their battery chargers and powerbanks are nice too.

Looks pretty good. If it can run on alkaline cells, even better!

Culling of the knife and multi herds in progress...

If I pay five figures for something, it better have wings or a foundation!

Yes, run on AAs or a button top 14500. Your choice.

I am very happy with this Lumintop. It pockets nice. It has a super simple user interface.

I've got the AAA Tool and it's a great little light and outstanding value for money.
