Welcome everybody, and I just want to tell you that most of the products that you usually see out there is bunch of ASMR unboxing and silliness of in-house showcase of people not really using the product. This is a real review of a product in real life. As much as people like to advertise as much as people like to try to make money, this isn’t about money, I am not advertising this Is not a commercial , nor am I spokesperson for this. I’m just a simple mechanic that uses flashlights on a day-to-day basis. THIS is a review of pros and cons. Hope you enjoy it. Choose your products well and spend your money wisely. Cheers 🤙

I’ll never forget my first “mag light” before those we used plastic 2 d cell flashlights. I used to use my mag light to hammer in DC8 tow bar pins. I like my stream lite right now. Flashlights are an aircraft mechanic status symbol…lol. Excellent video dude. every aircraft mechanic will appreciate it.

@StigAviation 6 месяцев назад

Good old mag light never fails. I still have my C cell and D cell ones. Hope this video helps in choosing one that works best for people.

It’s so hard to beat the ole StreamLight Stinger for walk arounds! Just wish they would upgrade to a better charging system like this!

@StigAviation 6 месяцев назад

You literally said why it’s good and bad at the same time. 😂. Loved streamlight but it ain’t worth the price.

@martinross5521 6 месяцев назад

Great review, Stig - good to see how your particular needs match the specifications on offer. Magnetic base and charging cable look useful. As you say, these three suit a home environment best.

@StigAviation 6 месяцев назад

It’s got nice features, but it’s just not for me. Still a nice flashlight tho.

@stumpygnome1834 5 месяцев назад

When I worked the line, this was my biggest problem, finding a flashlight that would fit the needs on the ramp. Some of the guys I worked with went with the Stingers (I think that's the name), the same flashlights that police and law enforcement use, but they were pretty pricey. $150 and up just for the flashlight and then you needed special charging equipment for them. I stuck with the standard mag light and whatever other cheap light I could find that had a pretty good lumen rating and light pattern and just went through a buttload of AA and AAA batteries. Great review!

@StigAviation 5 месяцев назад

Mag light always dependable like that. Right now I’m enjoying ThruNite. It’s been working well for me

@acemobile9806 6 месяцев назад

In the past 12 years total GSE here, ramp & shop. Streamlight for me. The battery in my Strion is still going after 7 years, very little discernable capacity loss. Stinger for my POV, used to use it when I was a paramedic. I do like that mag charging setup tho. The Strion spent an hour in a tank full of gas until we could get the fuel drained & tank off to shake it out. Still worked perfectly. My bad for being clumsy & dropping stuff constantly 🤦 Great review Stig. Now they need to improve their lineup & let you try it again.

@StigAviation 6 месяцев назад

Try out LED lenser or ThruNite. You’ll be impressed. Otherwise streamlight is a solid but expensive alternative. MagLight is for us OG mechanics. I still have my C cells and D cells mags. Works as a secondary hammer too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@acemobile9806 6 месяцев назад

@PatrickEnrile 3 месяца назад

Honestly just the video I'd love to find. Especially as a fellow Aircraft Mechanic. I'm currently using the Nitecore P23i which helps a lot. I do agree that more companies need to have Aviation Maintenance in mind. Since we need great visibility for checking safety. Cheers to you

@StigAviation 3 месяца назад

I’m glad this was helpful. Patrick, Nightcore is actually a really good company, I am currently using ThruNite and that is working out phenomenal for me.

As an a&p myself, working overnights in Orlando, the two tools I use the absolute most are my Milwaukee headlamp, and my OLight warrior x pro flash light! And yes, they are tools!!!

@verticalgyno 6 месяцев назад

5 year old Nitecore R40 and i still love it. 5 power level to set , metal body, heavy as it have to be, A330 vertical stabilizer I don't fear you, pressing both P/B it stay off so no way it turn on by itself. Just to be careful at the P/B membrane, induction and cable charging, 115€ but it's worth it all IMO. My company provided me a Led Lenser (don't remember the model) but not the best option in external use. Ciao ;)

@StigAviation 6 месяцев назад

@DC9Douglas 6 месяцев назад

They look cool, but as a relatively new StreamLight owner- I think they produce the Rolls-Royce of flashlights 😊

@StigAviation 6 месяцев назад

Stream light definitely makes a solid product. But it’s very expensive.

@DC9Douglas 6 месяцев назад

@StigAviation Fair statement indeed! Probably explains why they're sold on local "rape wagons" aka Snap-on Trucks 🤣🤣 jk jk haha

@williamroark4760 6 месяцев назад

Try the Coast HP3R for the best of both worlds, or the Coast G20 for direct focused light. Granted, that's in a pen light, but I find them fantastic for maintenance.

@StigAviation 6 месяцев назад

I have those both. Great product. Great price. But the most advanced you get more exotic you want in your products. You found the sweet spot. Keep it rolling

@sephiroth1349 6 месяцев назад

In AMT school right now and before I started school, I worked as a ramp agent for UPS and at Atlantic Aviation and used a Olight Baton Mini, now I use a Baton 3 Pro at school and I love it! I wish I could afford other Olight flashlights.

@heavyg7105 6 месяцев назад

I have a couple of Olights at work, the one that gets used the most is an I3T with a 10440 battery. I'm on day shift line, I use it to check IDG oil. 😂 If I end up doing something inside, I have a Perun 2 Mini headlamp. Thing is great, small, light and really bright if you need it to be. I don't usually run it on Turbo, its just too bright for close up work. On high mode it will run for about an hour and a half.

@StigAviation 6 месяцев назад

That’s good. As long as it’s working well for you is the important part.

@connornixon2971 6 месяцев назад

@@StigAviationI understand what you mean. I find that when you want to inspect and area that is high up, like the vertical stab for static wicks as an example, it lacks the focusable lens which isn’t ideal. I find myself switching to my other torch.

@StigAviation 6 месяцев назад

@@connornixon2971 and there’s the problem… you shouldn’t have to switch. Again it’s my view point and my opinion on this. Whatever works best for you is the best for you. I’m just showing what olight can and can’t do.

@sailormike1089 5 месяцев назад

I have several Olights including the Baton Pro 3, hold the power button down for 2-3 seconds and the it will flash on/ off and its locked so its not accidentley turned on. way to be sure is to try and turn on and the little light on the button will illuminate red. Maybe try the Javelot Mini from Olight it has more of a narrow band of light and can throw over 600 meters at 1000 lumens for 6 1/2 minutes then 500 L for 78. Aluminum alloy case and IPX8 water proof. But yeah , it has to be AC maint. STIG APPROVED...😉

@StigAviation 5 месяцев назад

I’ll definitely check out that one you mentioned. Don’t get me wrong, These lights are nice, I guess I’m just being a bit picky 😅

@teamgmotorsports 6 месяцев назад

If they are still willing to send you more lights, try the warrior x pro, more of a spot light! I can use it to see to the top of the vertical stab on our 319/320’s without issue!!! Been through a lot of lights myself, and this one for its size (fits in my pouch on belt) it’s the best by far. One charge usually lasts me 3-4 12 hour shifts depending on usage. I take it home on days off and use it when walking my dog at 2am. It lights shit up, I swear and 1/8ish of a mile away….. by that I mean, a train crossing with a train going by last night about an 1/8 of a mile away, all reflective stickers and paint lit up bright as hell and could actually see the struckture of the train cars themselves a little too

@StigAviation 6 месяцев назад

I doubt they will send me anything after this review 😂. Which is fine. No hard feelings about it. I personally didn’t enjoy the product in my line of work. But some do. Glad it’s working for you. I’ll stick to my previous flashlight. Olight is nice but they miss-advertise their products. So for me that’s a red flag.

@SproutyPottedPlant 3 месяца назад
