KilleansRow πΊπ² πΊπ¦πReally Important Breaking News Dept : Regulators, as far as We know, have never gone out of their way to kill off garden hose attachments. Same for #Flashlights, #Lighters, #Knives and scratch removal products that 'll make a totalled car look brand new.The product would have to be really bad . Maybe that's a tell. Some of them are. If the lying starts in the first few seconds of the ad it usually isn't over until the end.They're not bad as #Comedy bits, but once should be enough
Gemma βοΈπ°πΊπΈ π΅π πOne can argue that proprietary, non-replaceable cells can be made in arbitrary shapes and sizes, but the reality is that the adult human hand comes in a certain range of sizes, so there's really very little need to design extremely small products, when AA (or 14500) and CR123A (or 16340) cells exist, and the resulting #flashlights are about the size of a tube of lip balm. #Ergonomics matter!
But, by far the biggest #scam in the #EDC gear market is any tech device with a built-in, non-replaceable, USB-rechargeable, lithium-ion battery, and this is espcially true of #flashlights.
My advice to you is to never buy a flashlight (or #torch, if you prefer) that does not use a user-replaceable, common cell size, and ideally it should also be capable of taking a common primary cell as a backup, without carrying an adapter for it.
The 2nd biggest scam is expensive pocket knives.
Looking briefly at the latest "Jon Gadget" YouTube video on his favorite #EDC gear for the past 5 years, I'm reminded that the EDC industrial complex is mostly a #pacifier scam for insecure men.
The best EDC gear hasn't changed in a lot more than 5 yrs, with the possible exception of anything to do with #technologyβ#flashlights, #powerbanks, #smartphones, USB drives, etc.
For 20+ years, the core of my EDC has been: Victorinox Rambler, mini Bic, Fisher Bullet Space Pen, Storm whistle, Filofax.
Really Lazy Bear 
It so happens these kinds of batteries are sought after by flashlight and e cig enthusiasts.
This might be pretty weird but I'm neither interested with flashlights or them cigs. I can see in the dark cos I'm a bear and I don't think vaping's gonna be a thing I'm gonna be interested in.
No shade to vapers but the smell's too fucking sweet and weird it makes me wanna throw up.

BobDevneyFor years, this Fenix E01 V2.0 AAA has lived in my pocket whenever I'm not sleeping.
Much, much better quality than you'd expect for only $13.
Tough metal barrel; incredibly small and lightweight, it's barely bigger than its battery.
Twist the front to get three good, useful levels of illumination. Even the lowest level is plenty to find your way in a dark parking lot (or the hall to the bathroom).
