I need to sharpen my blade, it’s really dull. I really like the rovyvon, the only thing I wish it had was a magnetic end and then it would be really awesome. Also I used to have a leather card-holder but I think I’ll finally just get a ridge wallet or something similar.

      you know funny enough, I kind of understand why people seldom use their signals on these generation Bimmers.

      I’ve driven Japanese my whole life, and the turn signals on those cars are solid. moving to this car I’ve noticed if I give any slight pressure forward or backwards, it will activate my high-beams.

      There have been a handful of times where I have flashed the person in front of me by mistake when I meant to switch lanes or something so all they see is an impatient BMW Driver behind them and don’t think any more of it 😂

    Looking at it, I think you might get lucky and your flashlight will fit the same tail cap magnet as the smaller A series.

    If not, neodymium magnets come in lots of shapes and the strongest glue that doesn’t eat plastic

    EDIT: nevermind I see yours doesn’t have the little ridges, would have to file yours a little at a minimum and do real measurements.

      Hey thanks for sending the link to the tail end but yes, unfortunately it wouldn’t fit my light.
      for your second idea, I’ve considered designing and printing a housing that I can glue to the end of my light for a magnet like that! I just have to get around actually doing it…

        That’s awesome! Currently carrying a SAK Spartan w a deep carry clip. The versatility is a bit more accommodating for da shit I get into 😜

          That’s quite the upgrade! I’ve been eyeing a Leatherman or similar recently but maybe one of those SAK’s might be better carrying-wise on the daily.

          I kind of have the justification of wanting one when I’m on-site so I’m still thinking about it 🤔

            “I have the justification for needing one” is what I think you meant 🤓😬🤪 can’t go wrong w a SAK or Leatherman!!
