Thanks dcno10.

Beat ya this time

Is this "War of the Worlds" or is that a lot of Tripods?!

Seems like a semi-good deal, especially on a 2-4-2sday

Is that a mini-Tripod in your pocket or are you happy to see me?

Why is the mini flashlight 'Petented?'

WHAT HAVE YOU PEOPLE BEEN HIDING FROM ME?????

So, like, can anyone tell me any instances where one would actually have a use for these? I feel this compulsion to buy them but I don't know what I'd do with 'em.

I bought the set last time. Its a good value for the money in my opinion. The keychain lights are pretty bright too. The main flashlight with all three lights connected is pretty damn bright. I am thinking of getting another set but Y?

I would suggest doing those activities during daylight hours so you don't need a flashlight. Are you disposing of the old fluids somewhere where you shouldn't be that you need to do it at night by flashlight? Just wondering...

I actually use mine as supplemental lights when taking photos. They're especially handy when i need a secondary directed source when using a light tent, and the tiny ones can go right inside the tent to eliminate any pesky shadows.

How much abuse can this flashlight take? The description says shatter resistant lens, but how well can it hold up?

Have one of these, its great!

mbrickell wrote:awesome, these again...

Yeah, and I got them the last time they were normally up (not a woot-off).

They do need a lot of AA batteries (two or three per leg), but they are kind of neat. Realize that you can only point more than one of them in the same direction when they are pointed straight ahead.

The keychains are more of a novelty than anything else, and are a little large to be put in your pocket.

Got these last time here and got to use one during a blackout. Bright as daytime and the batteries last forever. Is it my imagination, or is the price on Amazon for just one large flashlight? Great deal.

I bought this last time. The light is bright, and when you click each light out one position from the center, the light expands like an umbrella and gives you a very wide coverage. No more stumbling around in the dark with that thing. Also, you can point the heads anywhere so it's good for when the lights go out and you have to cover the main room and hallway. Ask me how I know. :p The key chain light I have never used, just tossed it in the car.

And here I thought Tripods were those things that enslaved humanity by capping them.

This is one flashlight i haven't thrown off my roof, so no idea.

In for 2! One can never have too many flashlights

Got these last time they were up for sale. They are extremelt bright. You can actually take it apart and use just one of them if you want to. This price is a couple dollars cheaper than last woot.

Bought these a while ago on woot. Still don't regret it. Can't really light up a whole room but still very good and versatile for a trouble light set.

man, they must have a lot of these. this is like the 3rd or 4th time since around christmas that they've been selling these.

the mini's work great- bright as heck

the big ones? i don't know, yet. haven't saved up enough cash to buy all the batteries needed

They're great when you don't (or can't) have someone to hold a light - like when you're up in the attic. Nice for the garage, too.

$2 cheaper than 3 months ago. These cast a very bright bluish light. Good deal.

Got this set last time. They work very well. Snown storm black out went a lot easier with the tripod set up in the middle of the room. the kids were happy. Lit up the whole room. I'm back in for two more. Good deal.

I bought this item around last Christmas and paid a few dollars more for a 2 pack right here on Woot. Here's an example of where you could actually use one of these...

You're on a family camping trip and brought along this flashlight. You could actually break down this flashlight into 3 units so that each member of the family has one and you still have the small light if you have more than one child...or a girlfriend.

Each of the units operate on 2 AA batteries and provide about 4 hours or more of use. The lights are very bright and a good buy in my opinion.

The Energizer Hard case Tactical Flash Lights I bout from woot Say they are teh Last Flashlight I will ever need.

And I got three of those.

Man, This totally ruins it for any flashlight sale for the rest of my life.

Thanks woot! :O)

People are funny. I know some folks are smart a$$es like me but I can tell, there are some here that are not trying to be funny.

LOL
Hey! I can use this in places where I normally can't see... Due to the Darkness! LOL

Then they give examples. HA!
And such. Bajajajaaaa! Under my car. LOL But Not on top of my car... doesn't work very well in broad daylight unless you shine it right in your eye either.

This Tri pod feature would be handy for poopin in the woods. It would be cool if it had a little toilet paper roll dispenser attachment - maybe you can buy that seperatly.

In for one - the raccoons that hang out in the trees and underbrush of the back 40 are in mating season and need to be shooed away on occasion because their chittering, growling, snarling and snapping gets obnoxious after awhile. A good, bright light exposes their villainy and makes them more amenable to leaving so I don't have to break out the high-pressure garden hose and/or pepper spray. They'll be partying it up out in grape arbor, come fall.

My Wife get's mad if I take my girlfriend camping.
If I don't give my wife a flashlight though... she can't see my girlfriend.

The kids don't care either way. LOL

In for 2.... Dad & Father-in-law both have birthdays this month. Seems like a good 'dad gift'.

Yes, You can, you only have two hands. More than that is to many...lol

I have bought 3 of these in the past. They are Fantastic! I'm in for 2 deals today and will use as Christmas presents later on. These retail at the local hardware store for $34.95 for 1!

They are pretty durable, I'm hard on flashlights. They have literally hundreds of applications.

Wins the prize for goofy looking light. However, it works great. I purchased some last time it was on woot. I use the tripod feature a few times a month. Actually just used it tonight to change the car tire. Both the big and small lights are bright. Only bad thing is I wisht the big light was just one light. When you use the tripod, you angle the light. You can only angle one of the three lights the direction you want. The others go the other direction. One thing for sure, your wife will hate it. It's about as sexy as a swiss army knife.

I bought one of these the last time they had them...they are amazing! They are just super convenient and they light up a room reeaallly good... get em!

Picked up a set last time they were up. Very nice, very bright. Easily can light up a large room. You can point all three in one direction if you slide them up out of the sockets a bit too.

I get more use out of the mini ones, actually. Keep on on my desk at work and another at home. They're quite bright for their size.

Here's an English language sales pitch:

This is the torch you need.

light

I already own one of these and I just bought two more. Very very handy flashlight to have around for work, travel, camping or blackouts.

It does need two batteries for each section but they are led lamps and I haven't had to replace mine yet.

I bought these a few months back on a regular woot! day. The light is bright blueish white in the center, ringed with a yellow tint. It has come in real handy a couple of times, just being able to point it upwards without having to hold on to it. I highly recommend it!

Solid flashlight. Pick it up if you haven't yet. As said above, the one thing for sure is that your wife will hate the way it looks. But you won't care since it's so handy.

It's also not very small at all, so she won't be able to throw it in a drawer where you won't find it.
