Posted by Air 33 Super torches! I thought maybe we could keep a thread on just these large beasts of 1 mil +. Maybe Meta can organize small and larger torch recommendations any sticky the threads? I'm currently using a Garrity 1 mill, not the best, but others I have tried including the crusty orange torches from Canadian Tire worked a few times and died. I've looked into one I found in the states with swappable batteries but figured I'd pick one up when I go. The Black & Decker ones that some of you are using aren't available at either Home depot or lowes. Any suggestions? Am I looking in the wrong place? http://www.blackan...E/1/vec157BD_1.jpg |

Posted by AnAppleSnail hem, hem. Home Depot (and lots of places) have the Black & Decker v-2million beastie. It'll take a few charge/discharge cycles to get back up to full battery life, but it's pretty decent for a megatorch at $30. |
Posted by rob666 HD Canada doesn't carry it. Their selection of lights is shite. |
Posted by AnAppleSnail Order it online unless shipping/tariffs are ugly. It's worth having if you want a megatorch. |
Posted by Air 33 If its $30 I might just it at a buffalo wal mart next time I go, but how much is it rob @ a GTA walmart...? I keep getting this message "B&D V-2 Million Power Series™ Rechargeable Spotlight is not available at your selected location." for every store in Toronto." ... no wonder I'm not seeing them anywhere! |

Posted by trent I just happened to be in a US wally world yesterday. Cincidentally they've just stocked like 10 new B&W models of spolights. BUT, none of them are the famous 2M hand cannon and many run on D batteries. Be careful you don't get something the same size, color, and look, but it's not it. |
Posted by rob666 Yeah, I'm getting the same message. Maybe they're not stocking them anymore. I've seen them as high as $39.99 there and much lower on sale. |
Posted by rob666 Rechargeable D batteries... Hmmm. |
Posted by unlisted Here is my main "over 1 mil torch": http://s7d5.scene7...tImage=image_na_EN http://www.canadia...Spot%252BLight.jsp I have a few others, but none compare to the light output, or the run time from this. Beam pattern is darn good too. (I put a review up on the Crappy tire website) Just wait for it to go on sale, they are half off a few times a year. Ya, its a tad on the large size, but its around the same weight as the smaller oness. Oh, did I mention light output? |
Posted by Air 33 This seems a little like overkill unless your in a cave or something. I will keep an eye out for it when its like 50-70% off. I'm assuming that its got smart charging on it to prevent over charging? I'm kind of annoyed that I never know how much I've charged the garrity but one of them lasted me a good two years. |
