View Full Version : Help! Flashlights.... find me a BAMF one for cheap.

Long story short, my gig didn't work out and I got let go. They always start at the bottom when times get tight and I was unfortunately that guy. Either way, I fell back into doing something I really love. Auto Recovery. Or "The Repo Man", if you want to make it sound badass. Which it is. Cause I get to GTA shit legally.

Anyway, I got a hookup on Streamlight Stingers, but they're still like $100 and yeah, I'm cheap. And Surefire lights are the holy grail, but I don't have any first born children to trade for one.

So anyone know of anything in the like $50 range that's pretty badass, kind of compact, bright as hell (in case I gotta blind someone in an altercation), and will help me see house numbers from the comfy front seat of my stealing machine?

I got a 2 D-Cell LED Mag-Lite that's badass, but honestly it's just too bulky. Although I could beat the hell out of someone if the need presents itself, mobility is the key in repo work. I need something that I can stuff in my pocket quickly.

:lol: There were no blue or white or flashlight-usable LEDs in the '80s, back then they were only usable as indicators...couldn't even be the backlight for stereo buttons back then, and were mostly only available in red.

I meant 80's style in the sense that a little flashlight takes "20 LEDs" of the old plastic bulb type while the MAG uses 1 newer type LED as shown below

or buy a TerraLux led conversion for an old maglite

streamlight led penlight? doesn't really matter what light you carry at night if the windows on the car are tinted dark......repo shit sucks especially when you're pulling for a shitty "no credit needed" dealership.

whitey looking for a 95 lexus gs300 in the middle of cracktown, been there, fuck that.

lol... The only thing I care about as far as seeing inside the car can be seen from the windshield. The rest I can handle down the street.

But yeah... pretty much nail on the head. Add the fact that I'm in a 2500HD extended cab Duramax snatch truck that turns like a school bus, and is too long to be able to pull cars out of parking spots in a somewhat quick manner. Then it's even more fun. :rofl2:

Streamlight Stinger would be my choice, especially if they're only $100.

I wouldn't spend $100 for a flashlight.....maybe a few fleshlights
