Flashlights with good mouth feel?

[Ronsc]

GO to Lowes, ACE or Home Depot and get a vinyl thread protector in an appropriate size for the flashlight body. I use one on a Maglite Solitaire works like a charm....https://www.zoro.com/value-brand-th...ts&gclid=CLH6pOmSr9ECFcd6gQodFFcMmg&gclsrc=ds

We need a section for "Things you always wanted to know but were afraid to ask."

Another idea... there's this moldable compound called Sugru (sp?) that cures quickly into silicone rubber. Look it up on Amazon. I think it's basically silicone caulk mixed with corn starch.

I'd say headlamp.... Used to think they looked silly but after I spent time doing PEX under my house they are worth their weight.... Have them everywhere now.
But if you must keep your oral fetish Terralux makes a light with a biteable area... Just sounds dirty... Biteable area.

I wore a headlamp all the time this past summer working on my deck after dark. I don't know what kind of battery it has but it's still as bright as it was new.

He has a really nice deck. His neighbors wife is always commenting on how nice his deck is.

Yeah I hear that if you get on Dave's deck you will have a ball.

I prefer a head lamp as well. I have one in every vehicle and several throughout the house. But, if you must have something in your mouth, I hear girth is where it's at.

Headlamps work great for handsfree light, execpt when you are working with someone else in close proximity cause when you look up at them or at them you blind them but thats not usually my problem to deal with unless they have a headlamp as well!

I used to run into that same problem when strapping a pilot into the cockpit for a night mission. I was a crew chief on jet fighters in the Air Force back in the late 60's. We actually had METAL head lamps wired to a metal canister that held 4 D-cells, and clipped to our belts. They had a clear, 6v LIGHT BULB, and the beam was "focusable" by adjusting the reflector behind the bulb in or out. They were great for night missions in completing the preflight checks, but when helping the pilot in the cockpit, the pilot would always say, "DON'T LOOK AT ME!" because it would destroy his night vision. The entire instrument panel and cockpit lit up in red at night, because red is least destructive to night vision. It really looked pretty... So, that was one time we couldn't respond to a pilot by looking him in the eye.

I also have that freebie Harbor Freight indecent headband light, and it worked great. I've since upgraded to several led headlamps. I agree, you should get one that has several levels of brightness. I have one that, in addition to the main white light, it also has several levels of both red and green leds as well. Red is great for preserving night vision, and the green is, I'm told for tracking a blood trail through the woods at night, after a hunted animal. There must be more "night hunting" than I realized.

We have a Golden Retriever who hates having her ears cleaned, but requires it quite frequently. She tolerates it and will begrudgingly allow me to do it. I use an led headlamp, which is FAR easier than using one of those small gun-bore lights that I started with.. (In anticipation of the smart-alec responses, her ear canal would be somewhere around .380 or 9 mm...) [/SUP][/SUB]
