This is an 18-inch swinging rod, the length of the body part of the rod should be 16 inches, and the actual total length with the flashlight at the end is 18 inches. Okay, so this is a little messy, but let's start with this stick.
The packaging is no different from the previous packaging, except for the stick body, the instruction manual and a charging cable.
After disassembling the stick, it is found that the stick is actually divided into a swinging stick part and a flashlight part. A rechargeable battery that can be charged via USB is attached to the flashlight.
The battery model is 14500 with a capacity of 750 mAh. Note here that the voltage of the battery is 3.6V. I replaced the battery with a normal 1.2V 5 battery and found it could not be lit. In other words, the lamp holder only supports 14, 500 batteries with a voltage of 3.6 V.
The mechanical stick of The Na family was very interested in its locking structure at the first time I contacted it. This structure is similar to the CAM lock structure, which is called flash lock structure. Personal feeling intensity should be higher than the drum/disc lock structure. This is especially evident when poking with a stick.
The wall thickness of the stick is about the same as that of common mechanical sticks. The instruction indicates that the material of the stick is stainless steel plus aluminum. Visual impact section and head are made of stainless steel, and the rest are made of aluminum alloy. Reducing weight while ensuring the strength of the strike section, which is the most common configuration on the market.
The overall weight of the stick is 285 grams, which is not heavy for a stick with the added function of a flashlight. It is also very handy to hold in your hand.
The whole stick body feels very comfortable, anti-chute chamfering is also Dachang style, do not cut hands.
On the head of the stick, there is a broken window bead. Generally speaking, the broken window bead is more popular than the broken window cone on the shoulder, because it will not stick hands and the broken window effect is the same.
The end of the stick is a dimmer flashlight with a magnetic ring that is compatible with the latch button. As for this flashlight, it is much the same as other na-Home dimmer flashlights such as TA30 with tail magnetic ring. The dimmer magnetic ring is changed to the head, and the gear is set to the three most practical gears of low light, strong light and burst flash. The brightness is set at 40 lumens at low brightness, 410 lumens at high brightness and 410 lumens at burst brightness, which is reasonable considering the daily utility and battery capacity.
Because the swinging stick is mainly used for percussion and violence, Nalide also modified the head of the hand lamp by increasing the thickness of the tube wall, reducing the thickness of the light cup and transparent glass, and enhancing the impact resistance of the torch to the maximum extent.
The disassembled flashlight can be regarded as a 14500 flashlight with an unlocking thimble. Because of the existence of such an additional, so the length of the stick received, also exceeded the ordinary 16 inches of the stick received length.
We can see, this 18 inches "bare branches", its receive a length to spread out a bit shorter than 12 inches swing stick only.
It's an 18-inch stick, but it's almost as long as a 21-inch stick. At 21 inches, it's also my favorite length.
The most interesting thing is that when I took apart the 12 inch and 18 inch swinging sticks, I found that the parts could be converted to each other, except for the length mismatch, all the other parts could be interchangeable. In other words, if the bachelor's stick is partially damaged, it can be replaced with a portable Walker stick of another Nalide model.
This is 12 inches of the third section of the wall of the stick grafting to 18 inches of "bachelor", is there no sense of violation.
The "bachelor" clip is located in the middle of the wall of the stick, which makes the "bachelor" will be exposed if inserted into the trouser pocket. This design has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it allows the bachelor to insert some pockets that are not deep, while the disadvantage is that there is too much exposure and it is too obvious.
Still, I think it's more important to be able to stick it in my pocket than to show too much.
One might think that a swinging stick is a swinging stick, so what's the point of adding a flashlight? As for the use of torches in tactics, I don't think I need to say too much, but a short spell of clarity can give you a head start in a fight.
In the preparation of swinging stick combat, this movement is often seen, which is conducive to better power. In this move, the torch is pointed in front of the person, blinding them for a short time and making it impossible for them to tell what you're doing next.
Aside from that, of course, this is a good flashlight in and of itself when we need lighting.
Thanks to the extension of the torch, the 18-inch torch is actually about the same length as the 21-inch one, and works very well. It doesn't make the stick any less useful by adding a flashlight.
However, due to the extension of the last section of the stick body, the grip position of the swing stick is also relatively backward, so the position of the back clamp design appears to be a little bit awkward.
In general, the product is a combination of a stick and a flashlight, which is very good in terms of innovation and practicality. Besides, the workmanship of the home has always been well received, and there is nothing wrong with the stick.
As for the hit test, the brick, etc., I'm not going to test it, because this stick is not structurally different from Nalide's Walker series of mechanical sticks, and the previous hit test videos of the Walker mechanical sticks are all over the web, so check them out if you're interested.
For me, the stick was a defense tool, and even when I was knocking on bricks or glass bottles, it was painful. I've done it before, but I've done it a lot, and I've come to think that it doesn't make much sense. A stick, even if it doesn't break bricks, is enough to deter and inflict some damage.
This stick also has obvious disadvantages, the storage length is obviously too long, if it is a vehicle as a self-defense tool, is very good. And for some night watchmen, being able to do both defence and lighting with a stick is a worthwhile trade-off.
