AYL 3-in-1 LED Vehicle Emergency Flashlight Review

I received this flashlight at no cost to me in exchange for my honest unbiased review.

 

I already owned used and have tested various flashlights for years and it seems that these last few years they have gotten better and stronger. First off it definitely works and is completely functional. I found no defects with the flashlight I received and have not had it deteriorate since I started using it.

 

Based on what it is and what it is supposed to do I think it delivers on it's promises. It is definitely multifunctional and has a strong light.  It has 3 different light modes: the first lights just the front/top light,  the second is the light bar on the side,  and lastly it has a pulsating red light for emergencies. The base is in fact magnetic and it did stick to my car easily. The magnet allows you to also place the light bar in strategic places while you work or look for an item if you can find a metal surface for it to adhere to. It also helps you pick up and hold small metal items like screws and keys. It has a nice weight and it seems to be built solid enough to resist most mishaps.

 

I really feel like the functional design behind the selection between lighting modes really missed the mark. The way it currently works is that you click once mode 1 lights up (front), click another time mode 2 lights up (the light bar), click a third time and mode 3 lights up (emergency mode)  and then on the fourth click it finally turns off. What I mean is that a few of my favorite flashlights work by clicking is on/off and half clicks is how you toggle between modes. The advantage about this other way is one click no matter what mode I am on will turn off the light,  which I prefer by far.

I found that I can use this flashlight as a desk lamp which I think is pretty cool. 

Considering everything about this light I can solidly rate this flashlight at a 4.6/5.
 

Power Tek Fire Talon Multi-tool Pocket Knife Review

Power Tek Fire Talon Multi-tool Pocket Knife Review

I received this multi-tool in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

I like to test out the products for a bit before I make up my mind or form ideas about it. I am glad I do this cause it easy to rush to judge something and think it doesn't make sense or have use. For example at first glance I was confused why they would put two light sources until I realized there was a practical purpose for it. Overall I definitely recommend this to anyone.

PROS:
The tool is sturdy and tight all around and not flimsy at all which would cause a lot of injuries, I can attest to that because of my history with others.
The cushion on the sides which seem just as a design/decoration actually help with grip and comfort which can easily be compromised if it were just a smooth metal surface.
You get a sheath/carry case for it.
The knife being on the outside instead of the inside is a great idea because it gives easy and unobstructed access and control of a very sharp blade.
The other tool tips are easily accessible but most importantly secure in place instead of slipping out all the time, which they made little helper points so you wont be using your nails to fish them out.
I especially like the design of the scissors because none of it is sticking out or lose where it can easily hurt you.
Having two lights turns out to be useful because you can light up any end you are using without having to have an additional light or person to help you see what you are doing.

CONS:
Some may consider it too heavy, although I did not.
It has a great amount of tightness for an adult but I think a younger male or female might find it too stiff to use.
