Title: What Kind of Flashlight Is That
1What Kind of Flashlight Is That
2Last Weekend I took my mother to the airport.
3My mom doesnt travel much so I had to show her
how to get her boarding pass and walk her to
security to enter the gate.
4Airport security has gotten very strict over the
last decade.
5Watching everyone taking off their shoes, opening
their suitcases up, and emptying their pockets, I
noticed a man pull out a flashlight that was also
a multi-tool.
6Of course the TSA had to confiscate his
flashlight because it had a pocket knife as one
of the multi-tools.
7Looking at this all in one flashlight multi-tool,
I thought it was a pretty unique idea.
8I have not seen too many of those before.
9Found a Flashlight Multi-Tool
10After I saw my mother off through security I
needed to make a stop at the grocery store to get
some supplies for the week.
11Thinking about that flashlight multi-tool I
decided to see if they had one available.
12The only one I could find was fairly cheap and
looked like it was cheaply made also.
13I decided to buy it just to see how useful it
really was.
14Is This Flashlight Really Useful
15This flashlight multi-tool came with a
screwdriver and also a small knife.
16After opening the package, I could confirm just
how cheap this flashlight was.
17I put a battery into it and powered on the small
LED flashlight.
18The light output was alright not very impressive,
but it is a small light so I did not expect too
much.
19The screwdriver and knife also seemed a bit
wobbly and not tightly attached like they
probably should have been.
20So using the screwdriver was a bit challenging
because every time I went to turn the screw the
screwdriver just folded in on itself.
21Now the knife on the other hand was able to cut
through small things well.
22It could have been a bit sharper, but it seemed
good considering what I had paid for it.
23Should You Buy A Multi-Tool Flashlight
24If most flashlight multi-tools are similar to the
one I bought, I would just pass on them all
together and buy each tool separately.
25Spending almost the same if not a little more for
a separate flashlight that is more in likely
brighter, a separate screwdriver that will work,
and a knife that is probably sharper will benefit
you much more in the long run.
