I bought a Fenix SW05R
on: March 10, 2026, 06:08:10 PM
As the thread title says I bought a Fenix SW05R.

There is something 'about' this little EDC carry, I can't put my finger on what it is but it just, sort of, does everything I want from a little EDC flashlight.

I like the rotating head so the beam is adjustable to where it is needed, and the size and shape etc.  On paper it shouldn't be as pleasing as it is in real life. Funny old world.

Always nice when it works out like that.

For me, it seems like it more often works out the opposite way, i.e. something looks good on paper, but then when I get it in hand it doesn’t feel quite right.

You're spot on with that Nate, things so often disappoint these days.  I suppose that's why I was so pleased, as it is rare to be totally satisfied with something.
