Two Cool DIY Flashlight Hacks! 

Thank you so much for watching the video. Please leave your comments in the comment section below. Have a great week!

This is a great idea for the little aluminum dollar store flashlights that break easily. I use an old one for just such a purpose.

Now, that is awesome 👌 THANKS JAMES..Now we found a use for a junk flashlights 🔦

Thanks for the idea, I was wondering if you could add the two tubs together and make that two cell into a four cell and change the lightbulb. I believe you can do it !!

Creative ideas. In particular, I like the strong water proof "match safe". Good thinking.

Wow, you're a really fantasy-rich man, full with excellent ideas! What a good trick!

Way to go with another fantastic project to do. Thank you as always for your great knowledge wisdom!!!

Hello James, thank you for sharing the hack ideas. I really appreciate it. Please keep these great ideas coming along. All the best to you and your family. 🤗

Cool hacks!😃 Thanks!

Excellent idea! Will look for something like this at the dollar/discount store!

That was cool. I'm not one who tinkers with electronics, but if you could turn those flashlight heads into little lamps by creating a battery box and switch or use the one on the tubes, that would be really awesome. Those 27 lumen units would be good for lighting up the inside of a tent or small cabin. As a rule, I consider around 75 lumens good to light up a bedroom and anything less is just enough to make one's way to the bathroom or to put a key in a lock, but not enough for walking outside. Anyway, a totally awesome project. That was very clever and creative. You're like Q in the Bond films, but you build low budget gadgets.

Wow that's great you did a great job Steve neat

This is why I love this channel!!

Thanks, great hack. Take care.

Really cool 😎 I especially liked the knife. Thanks for sharing, I always enjoy your videos.

You can screw them together to make a long handled hunting/survival knife. Great ideas. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week

Cool hacks, James!

Interesting! Thank you!

Very nice! Very nice indeed

Very cool tips Brother, thanks for sharing.

Very cool!

Great ideas/hacks. I have seen similar flashlights always on sale. Buying two of them would be worth it! I like the protected blade idea. Thanks James!

Thats a pretty cool idea bro. Good way to think outside of the box

James, thanks for sharing, those were some good ideas, God bless !

Not a bad hack on that knife. Think I'd wrap some cordage around the handle jjust in case you need it. Also stuff some inside of the handle. As far as carrying the other one, wrap some cordage around the bottom, to make a carrying loop.. Maybe wrap cordage around the entire lenght of this one too.

Always enjoy the DIYS from you james. I also love to look for ideas to make things too x2 This kind of reminds me of that other older knife kit that you've showed before.. This is good to remember when you have or find them. I guess you put them all together and create something cool too. I do know of few more things with stuff like this. All the best from CR.

That is so freaking cool from Andra Hill so cool

Great hack ideas James they will be good in any survival kits for sure atb and God bless you..

Man I love this , great idea !! I like the WP container best 👌 Bought one of these lights and didn't last long , we'll worth buying one of these sets just for one of these projects

We can watch garage sales for extras to use for parts. Great ideas Sir!

for sure doing the cache tube !

Great tips brother.

Very cool hacks James!👍

You could put the fire stuff in the knife and keep like a little hollow handle knife/ Rambo knife survival kit.

I've been trying to think of a way to use the cheaper lights to do about the same thing but I would have to block off one end, that would make easier for something to get stuck in there. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful. God bless.

Unique hacks.

Love the tube. Not sire of the knife, we shall see

I am always looking for watertight cylinders like this! Now I just need to find that flashlight... 👍🏻👍🏻

That's a couple of ideas!

I think, his family must of been distant relatives to Einstein ? THANKS JAMES that is awesome 👌

Great ideas James. To buy an aluminum tube of that size is definitely going to cost more than the $13 ish bucks it takes to make it. Thanks for the idea, now I need to watch for them at the hardware store.

Keep your. Mind sharp, cool, excellent

Awesome. What are the dimensions for the waterproof case?

Nice

With the knife having duel sided threads; why not join the two tubes together so the blade is in one side and your mini kit, fishing, fire, trapping, whatever is in the other end below the blade. Now you have a baton also for fending off wild animals.

Hey...love your channel! Great idea about the waterproof cache. I just want to add there is a flashlight made by LIFEGEAR, that has a water resistant storage compartment in the handle. The handle twists off from the battery/light section so you can put quite a bit of gear in it. Mine holds a small whistle, button compass, small SAK, one liter whirl pak bag, 4 mp-1 purification tablets, small FAK, 10’ of cordage, one square foot of HD aluminum foil, and four UCO matches with striker. I also found room for a Derma S.E.R.E folding saw! The flashlight uses 3 AAA batteries, which are easy to find. The light is LED and has other functions too...constant LED, constant colored light (I think green, red, yellow, orange) and then strobe! I think the light is good for 200 hours of usage. Wal mart has them for under 7.00. Just another option to look at, but your project is a good one!! No dis intended, just FYI! Thanks and good job!

Love the "cache tube", but love the knife even more . . . I see an additional loadout in that hack - looks like plenty of room on either side of the knife blade (as long as it isn't filled up enough to keep it from rotating) for a ferro rod, some tinder tabs, and some fatwood sticks! Depending on the flashlight handle bore, maybe a bit of scrap pvc tubing that will fit inside, around the blade to capture the tinder options?

brilliant idea maybe can you put the two together and make a longer light that lasts longer bless you brother

that is a good idea, but, you can buy a canister that will do the same thing (all ready made) for about as much as you paid for two flashlights, Iwas able to find one on Amazon for ten dollars. You can get a hidaway knife of similar constructionfor about 15 dollars, but in my experience they are NOT durable. It would be better to get a cheap fixed blade knife (with a full tang if you can) and a canister. I found a full tang knife w/sheath on Amazon, for 8 dollars. This would be a better alternative, as it would not require any work or modification, and the knife would be stronger. Great video though.

Neat ideas

You could also make a hobo fishing reel

Blood tracker sounds for cops.

Could also be used as a "prison wallet".

Big dy james tks a lot see you later be fine

Sorry I don't like your "hacks". Easier to just buy what you "need. Good video. Keep em coming

❤🖒😇👌❤

These.... really weren't flashlight hacks. 🤷 More like a recycling hack you can do to the battery case of your flashlight if the electronics part is missing or completely destroyed.

I like the videos.. but your exuberance at the beginning is mostly comical, and the knife ideas is wretched.
