I think I received a dead light.

I ordered an M21AThank you., and no matter what I do, I can't make it turn on. I unscrewed the tail cap and removed the plastic protective little disc between the contact and the battery.

I know the battery that I'm using is working because I tested it in another flashlight and it works fine. I'm screwing the head and tail cap down tightly, but the light will simply not respond at all to any button presses.

I've sent an email to support, so hopefully Simon will get back to me and let me know. In the meantime, is there anything else I can try, or could I possibly be doing something wrong? I think I have a dead light.

Question about lubrication of a vanchor lock.

Can you put a drop of kpl right along side the hinge and blade to lube it without knife disassembly or is it sealed and taking the scales apart is required?

Thank you!

Pocket Knives with Many Fidget Factor Options

The Vosteed Zander is a folding pocket knife that can be deployed many ways. It has thumb studs, a blade hole for reverse flicking, a back flipper and a front flipper tabs.

What are some other knives that also are able to be deployed in many ways? I really like my new Zander for this reason and I wonder if there are some older options I am missing.

Thanks!

Secure ex Sheath Question

I bought a cold steel trailer master and one of the reviews likes the knife but says to not use the included secure ex sheath. To purchase a separate kytex sheath.

Why? I can, its not a big deal, just curious what's wrong with the included one.

Thank you!

Citizen Sources

Where are some good places to buy Citizen watches other than Citizen.com? I'm fine with it, I just want to see what other models are available.

Is Amazon full of gales or is it safe to buy from?

Thank you.

Front Flipper Recommendations?

I know front flippers are probably the least liked opening type but I find them fun. I currently have a Petrified Fish Scholar and Arcane Designs Crawler 2 which can be front flipped. What are some others? Are there any really well known good ones?

Suggestions don't need to be front flip only. Just front flipping being a possible opening method is fine.

Thanks!

Changing the button on an S2 Plus.

Can you easily go from one of the rubber buttons to one of the metal ones on the S2+ ? Do you just buy the button, or do you have to swap the switch as well? Is it difficult?

Thank you.

Dumb question about how to store lights.

I'm fairly sure I know the answer, but I just want to double check because I'm new at this. I bought a Convoy 3X21D and a 4X18A. How do you set these things down?

Do you place them lens-down so that they are standing on the bezel? I assume That's the correct method because sitting him on the tail cap would be unstable., but I just want to make sure. The bezel protects the glass, right?
