Review: Power Tek Fire Talon Multi-tool & Head Light

Hey Ya'll,


Today I have fun gadgets for the man, or even woman! Now, I was in the ARMY had have had my fair share of multi-tools, knives, whosists, and whatsits. So, I know what too look for! When I apply to review different items, I tend to only apply for those items I like, or think I can use. This one, sadly was not all I had hoped it to be. That's not saying its bad, or not good, nothing like that. It was just not what I would have liked it to be.


Pros:

• Sturdy Heavy Metal construction.
• Rubber Padding on each hand grip.
• Flashlights on each end are bright.(They stay on, without having to continuously hold down the button too)
• The pliers are easy to open, and use. They are spring action. Quite nice.
• The scissors were sharp, and easy to use as well.
• They fit quite snugly into the nylon carrying case, and has a belt loop on the back. (This can be great or terrible depending on your preference)

Cons:

• Was very heavy, and slightly bulky. (I have little hands, so it was slightly more difficult to grip)
• The knife was not as sharp as I would have liked it to be.
• The tools, are tiny, and hard to open. I had to use another tool just to get them out. I have done this a couple times now, and it still isn't getting easier. I am sure it will though.
• I feel there wasn't enough tools, in this "multi-tool"
• The flashlight, while great I did not like the fact when you go to turn it off, it turns on the other one, thus making you have to press the button multiple times. 
• The flashlight isn't waterproof. Not that It makes a difference to me, but it may to those who camp/hike etc.
• Also, the battery compartment, is difficult to open. I could barely do it with my long fingernails. 

Over All:  I am pretty impressed with this. It wouldn't be my go too though. It is very sturdy, and of a great quality construction. Offers features that others do not have. IE flashlight, and rubberized grips on the handles. For that alone I love it. I  just feel that another tool would better suit my needs.

Now for the Head Lamp:

I was actually really quite impressed with this! There wasn't really anything negative to say.

Pro:

• Three light settings. Very bright, bright, and dim. 
• Red light function, blinking and solid.
• Light tilts into multiple positions.
• Band can be adjusted to fit snugly around the head. Is soft as well.
• Easy to open battery compartment, and easy to operate.
• Looks to be quite durable 

Cons:

• I am afraid, the part where the light tilts, if dropped may break.
• I do not like power tek, being written on the head band so many times. (It's also difficult to tell that's what it says)
• The only other thing I can see being a problem for some, is trying to figure out which buttons to press and how many times for the lights. I have been playing with it for a good while. When I want to press the red one, it seems as if I need to press to one side of the button for solid, and the other for blinking.  (I don't see this being a huge problem, after some playing with)
• I wish the light had a wider area. Its now narrow, but I feel that it would better serve its purpose with a wider coverage. 

I actually really, love this head lamp.
