A torch with many features that is nevertheless very easy and intuitive to operate. It is definitely worth taking 5 minutes to read the manual, in which everything is explained simply. The main advantage is its size. The torch is so small that it fits comfortably and completely in a pocket, yet it still sits perfectly even in a large hand. A minor drawback is the stiffness of the clip, which is very difficult to slide onto ordinary civilian trousers; I expect it will loosen over time with use. If you are considering using the torch for self-defence, its brightness reaches only 2500 lm compared with the EDC29, but that is still a substantial output that effectively dazzled me for about 15 seconds. Because of its length, the torch cannot be used as a kubotan, but the best defensive tool is the one you have with you, and this torch is so compact that it can truly be carried everywhere.
