 Hey everyone, Shaber1000 here. I'm sitting on the tailgate of the truck. It's 1130 at night-ish, we'll check here in a minute. I'm gonna do a review for you guys on this little flashlight that came in with that Ozark Trail Kit because I feel I didn't do it justice. I feel it deserves a good and honest review. And I'm gonna put it up against a couple other lights that I have here. We're gonna talk about them and we're gonna see which one might be best for you in certain situations or for me or for whatever. So stick around and let's check these lights out together. There's gonna be a lot of information in here as much as I can give you that is. So stick around and let's get to this. Okay guys, like I said, it is 1136 at night. Monday, February 8th, it's 66 degrees and it's supposed to be warmer tomorrow. So I brought my phone out here for a reason because I have some information on these lights. Hopefully you can see them pretty well, but I figured I would start the video out here because this is where we're gonna be trying these lights out. Okay, so first, what we have here. Now this one here, if you guys remember, came in that Ozark Trail camping kit, okay? First thing we're gonna check out some machete because we need a machete. Okay, so let's go ahead and open this up. This is just the cheap Walmart thing. Now if you noticed, I was trying to turn that to zoom it, but you don't have to do that. You actually slide this out and in. So that's pretty cool. This runs on three AAA batteries. It is 160 lumens and it will go, it's 60 meters. It is one LED, you can probably see that in there, and it will go 60 meters, which would be, what, 180 feet-ish right in there. So we'll get to the prices of these here in a minute. So I have this. I also have this ever ready flashlight here. One of those cheap, takes the big square, six-volt batteries, and if you can see in there, it has one, it's sitting in my garage. It has one LED in it as well. We'll get, again, we'll get to the prices. And we have this hyper-tough. Just cheap, they call it a flashlight, but this is more like a spotlight. Okay, it's got a little stand. Now this is a rechargeable light. USB right there. Okay, this is hyper-tough. Now what we're gonna do is we're gonna go through each one of these. I don't know what the lumens is on this. We'll have to check again. This one is 300 lumens, okay? So now this one, I can't find it online by itself. Okay, now I did find a kit. I'm gonna bring it up right now. Shit. Okay, I did find a kit on eBay. Now, it's a combo with batteries, and I'll show it to you here in just a second. And here's what it is right here. It comes with a headlamp. It looks like you get, what, six batteries. So each one takes three AAA batteries. So this is the only one I could find. Well, it's not the only one, but that I could, without buying that whole $30 kit. Now this one is $15.60, okay? So let's read more about this. Now I noticed there is a seal in the bottom of this where you open this up to take your battery pack out. There is a seal in there. So I am not claiming that to be waterproof. I'm guessing it is water resistant. So you can use it out in the rain and such. Right there, what it says is one time six LED zoom, aluminum flashlight with three modes for high, low, and flash equipped with 160 lumens up to two hours of battery life in a range of 60 meters. Okay, so that would be six times zoom is what it is, but it's one LED. All right. And like I said, it comes with the headlamp that has a one by three LED headlamp with three modes for high, low, and red flashing lights, 130 lumens brightness with a range of up to 60 meters and includes six AAA batteries. And so like I said, for 15, let's just round it off to the highest number, okay, which would be $16. All right, that's this one. So let's say that's the price of half that kit and you get a headlamp, I know what you're thinking. Well, it's not a very good deal. I think it is to me. Now, maybe not to you, but in my personal opinion, now I'm not getting sponsored by any of these guys. I'm not getting paid by them. Okay, I just have their lights. And I happen to really, really like this one. To me, this is just by itself. I wouldn't hesitate to pay $15 for this, you know, on its own. Okay, now let's go to this Ever Ready. This is just one of those cheap Ever Ready flashlights. I brought it up here. Oops, sorry guys, I'm behind the camera. So let's go to the Ever Ready. There's a bunch of different places you can get them, but that particular one there is, you can get it at $9.59, let's say $10, okay, at Napa. And it does come with a battery. Let's see, where else can you get it, that particular one. It says Publix Delivery, $8.19. It's the same thing you get that battery, but you have to have a $10 minimum order, okay. And the Ever Ready, which was, I'm gonna get two here in a minute, but the Ever Ready battery through this company, Ace Hardware, is $6.49, which would be $7, because eventually you're gonna have to buy another battery, right? Okay, so there's that. Now let's go to the HyperTuff, okay. This one you can see is all dirty, well used, because I have used this a lot. We've used that fishing, camping, I've used it around the house, under cars, whatnot. Now what I found on that one is, I did find it at Walmart online, only three left for $12.88, let's call that $13, okay. It is 300 lumen, as I said, with a rechargeable battery, okay. I don't, it doesn't, I'll give you some of the, well just, it's real quick here. It says double housing with rubber cover and trigger locking switch, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, LED indicator turns green when fully charged, half the size and weight of comparable halogen spotlight, okay. So this is actually considered a spotlight, so it does have the, you can, you know, you can set that thing up, okay. And it does have a trigger switch, so you can, you know, hands-free. It is rubber, but if you can see down in there, there is one little LED. I'm thinking they're all the same LEDs, okay. Now, and it is, it is a lot lighter than this. I don't know about half the weight, but it is a significant lighter than this because these six-volt batteries are huge and big. You guys have seen them, the big square batteries, which I can show you right now. Now you can get the cheapest batteries I found for these or those cheap heavy-duty batteries from Dollar General for three bucks. Now I don't know if you can convert these to rechargeables, you know, buy a battery kit for rechargeables, but dang man, what are you gonna pay for that, you know? Now this I can buy at Walmart, fairly reasonable, AAA rechargeables already have chargers. I've got AA's and AAA rechargeable batteries in a lot of my paranormal investigation kits. In our mics, we have the rechargeable AA batteries. Like I say, you pay up for them, but you don't have to buy them once in how long. You go buying, like I said, what'd this say, two hours. You go buying them cheap batteries and it probably won't last you that long, okay? Because I found out that cheap batteries will not last you long. You buy a pack of those 10, 10 pack or whatever, 20 pack of these batteries for like three bucks. They're not gonna last you. They don't even last a month in a remote control. I can television remote control, okay? So I will end up putting rechargeables in these. Now these two here I did not buy, they were her fathers, okay? Now I'm gonna get you set up and we're gonna shine these things down the street and I know it's not a very fair comparison with this little thing and them two big ass lights, but my way of thinking is there is one LED in each one of these, okay? So I think it should be a fairly decent comparison, okay? So let me get you set up pointing down the street and we'll shine these lights and I'll show you which one. I do not have my head lamp on. The light that is on right now is our light that we bought at Walmart for 30 bucks, which we use this thing all the time, guys. Now it's still, to me, it's not worth 30 bucks. If that light came with a rechargeable battery, I would say 25 to 30 would be fair. It's still cheaply made. The tripod kind of sucks because you forget and you go to turn the light and that tripod to raise it up and down, you just turn it, raise it up and turn it again. If you go turn that light, it drops and so there's a lot of things I don't like about it. Right now I would say $15 would be plenty for that and this is my hand warmer. This is what I'm running that light on. Okay, so let me get you set up out here, guys and let's put these things to the test starting with the hyper tough. Okay, guys, here's the hyper tough. Now there is a street light behind me. There's nothing I can do about it and there's a street light way down there and my neighbors have one here on the left of us. But here is the hyper tough. Here I'll put you in. I don't want to turn my headlamp on and contaminate anything, but there's the hyper tough. Okay, so now I'm going to take you off a night vision. All right, now we're going to turn this on. Let me back you up here just a little bit. Now that is shining way down the street there, okay? Now like I said, the little flashlight is only 160 lumens, this is 300. All right, but I can't adjust this in any way. So now let's go get the ever ready. Okay, again, guys, I have you on night vision just for a second to show you this is the ever ready flashlight, okay? Now let's go ahead and turn you off of night vision. Okay, ever ready? You're up. And there's this. Now it's not bad. Don't get me wrong, it is not bad. It does not shine down nowhere near as far, but it does shine down in good ways, okay? There's on the telephone pole, all right? So yeah, it's a decent light. First cheap as it is, but the batteries. I mean, come on, they're huge and everything. We're gonna get to that too. All right, now let's shut this off and let's go with the little baby light and let's see how well it does. And again, night shot, okay? We have our, well, my little favorite light here. Okay, so let's get this turned on. Let me get you off of night vision here. All right, now let's turn this on. There we go, look at that. Now that is all the way in. So I am guessing, yes, that is shining. It's 160 lumens, I am pretty impressed with that. And if you ask me, I do believe that is shining 180 feet, 60 meters, all right? There's the telephone pole, but what I can do with this, okay? See that's, let me show you something here. If you're looking for something on the ground, see, you bring it up, pretty impressive, right? I think so. Now let's pull this out, let's go on out here. And I'm just gonna slide this out like this or slide it back in like this and there we go. Now look at that. I look over here in the woods, wow, amazing. Then down on the ground, closer you get, you know the shine over here in the woods again. And one more time we will get the camera to focus. And I got a car coming. So, okay, so there you go guys, there is that one. All right, real quick before we go into house, I'm back here at the truck. I'm shining across the street. There is Jerry's old house, so we'll kind of shine right over here. Got the hyper-tuff right here. There's the hyper-tuff. It's a great spotlight, okay? There's the hyper-tuff. Now we have Mr. Everettie here. Now this battery, guys, this ain't bad, but this battery is, it's almost, I mean, I've only used this a couple of times. It's probably got maybe 10 minutes on it, okay? On this battery. And it is one of those cheap dollar store batteries, I do believe if I remember right. So there's that one. And the hyper-tuff is not a full charge either. It's probably got maybe 20 minutes on it. And the little flashlight, the Ozark Traillight here, has, look at that. This has about 15 to 20 minutes on it as well with cheap batteries. I know this is not science, guys, but I'm not a scientist. I don't have all the equipment to do all that. And besides, this is not something that science has to be involved in. You gotta look at it and see what your eyes and go, is that gonna be the light I need? You follow what I mean? So no, we're not gonna sit and leave them run down until they both all go down. I'm not gonna do that because everybody has their own take on their batteries. They have their favorite batteries as well as I do. I like the rechargeable. Some people like just buying cheap batteries. So it's not, you know, that's not gonna help us out any. I'm just showing you the difference in these, okay? Now, let's go ahead and pull this back. And there we go. Nice, okay? So out. And back in. And just for fun, let's turn my headlamp on here, okay? I like this thing. Okay, guys, so we're back in the house. Hopefully you can hear me okay. I don't wanna talk loud because it's probably going on midnight now. Yep, 12.02. I don't know if the camera's fuzzy or if it's mine. In conclusion, my opinion, this is by far gonna be my go-to light. I wish I could buy just this light by itself without the headlamp. I can't find it. So I wish I had another one of these. These lights are fine to keep around the house. You know, we've used both of these fishing, okay? Um, this light is not very impressive at all. Big, bulky, heavy, and the batteries, I don't care even $3. I mean, this thing, even with a brand new unused battery, this thing will not light up hardly any brighter than what you saw outside. Just a cheap, this light here, it's a bad ass, okay? It's killer, it's a great flashlight. Great to have on the boat. It is rechargeable, and it is hands-free. Now, you got a place for a lanyard. As far as a flashlight, this is not a flashlight, per se, it's more of a spotlight. It'd be great on the boat, but look at this thing, guys. Put this in your, let me zoom you out a little bit here. Put this in your tackle box. You have a big tackle box. Put this in your toolbox. You have to have a big toolbox like I've gotten still. You know, this's gotta go in a big drawer. Now, this thing, guys, I think for the money by far, if you want, keep this in your glove box, your toolbox, your tackle box, your pocket, keep it in your boat, keep it in your drawer and house, look at that, it's small. I mean, it's, okay, here's my glasses. We all know by how big a pair of glasses is. There it is, you know? I mean, does have a lanyard. Now, the next one of these I get, I'm gonna pay up for it and I'm gonna get the 550 lumen. But if I can't find one of these, cause I'd really like to, cause like I said, this came in the Christmas present I got. I'd like to get monkey one of these. So if I have to, what I will do is I'll get the, you know, for 15, 16 bucks, I will get her one with the headlamp, you know, it's always good to have a headlamp, but I'm sold on these now. I do want to have another one of these 160 lumens. Come on, man, that's, you know, it's amazing for that, you know, I mean, it's just, it's amazing. And like I said, it's got, whoops, there's high, there's low and there's the flash mode. Now, the reason why I didn't show you that on this one, it's on or it's off, that's it. There's no modes. I didn't show you any modes on this one cause it's on or it's off, there's no modes. They're standard. Where that beam, however that beam shines, that's what it is. This, you know, you can open it up or close it. This is a great light. I'm sold on this light and the set band light. Like I said, these two lights, think about it, maybe in your application, you would rather have one of these. If you're Gator hunting down on Florida, that's a thing. I know if you're Coon hunting, you usually have your lights on your head, but let's say, you know, you've got a friend with you, he can shine this up in the trees with you. It's perfect for that. It's great on a boat. If you have someone that's out front holding it for you, shining down the river or the lake or whatever the case may be. It's a great light. Don't get me wrong, especially for the money. It's an awesome light. If you have a use for a spotlight, that's big. But as far as my go-to light, it is gonna be this one. Now we will still take this camping and night fishing and, you know, using out in the backyard, shining on the trees when it's storming, because we like to look at the trees. Now we both have one. So we will, because we call our camp, so this is not really a big deal for me to carry. If you're a hiker, by all means, get this for a hundred. This is 300 lumens. This is 160 and you saw the comparison. I mean, come on for, I mean, I think that speaks for itself. So, but we got a call today just real quick. Our kitchen, our cabinets and countertops, they're in. They actually wanted to come today. They was going to come this afternoon, but her husband or something had something else to do. And besides, then they said tomorrow, but I think Monkey wants to be here. Monkey's got to work tomorrow. She's got a big day, a long day. So they're going to be here next Monday. So Sunday, I will be bringing you along with me. We're going to rip these out of here and get everything ready for them to come in. They're talking like it's going to be one day. I don't know if it's only going to be one day or not. Now after that's in, I still have to change the light switch. I'll have to remove or relocate the light switch. I've got a, over at the stove, you know, there is a, there is a receptacle. It's behind our refrigerator right now that I will run over and it'll be in the side. You'll see once we get this all set up, it'll be in the side of the bar. That way I can plug in mixers and stuff like that. So anyway, just wanted to let you know that we're happy and we're excited. So no more call 911 up there. So there you go guys. I mean, my personal favorite is this one. Like I said, depending on your application, you may go, I can't never use that little thing. Now, as far as dropping it or longevity, I don't know. I don't know. I mean, it's, it's those arc trail. It's cheap Walmart stuff. Okay, so, but, you know, I've, I've bought Ozark Trail tents. We have one right now. It's been awesome. Every Ozark Trail tent I've ever owned has been awesome. I like Ozark Trail and Coleman because they're good products and they're affordable. You know, for people like me and you and, you know, affordable products and it is, it is aluminum. And I'm sure I'm going to be dropping it. And like I said, I believe it is water resistance. I don't, I don't think it's waterproof. This one's not waterproof. I don't even think this one's water resistant, though I have had it in rain with no issues. The hyper tough. I've never had any issues with that. And I've had it in pouring down rain. This, I wouldn't even consider it this. I don't think we'll have a problem with it. I used it the other night camping, used it and rain a few times. Never had an issue with it. So like I said, depending on your application, I'll let you be the judge of which one you want to buy. But in my situation, if you, if you are in, you know, if your application calls for it the way mine does, this is the one you're going to want. I mean, even for boating, this would be fine. But speaking of boating, if you're boating and you're going to have to have another person up front, if you're gator hunting, you're going to want this. You know, this is the one you're going to want. But for backpacking to keep in your toolbox or your glove box, you're not going to want this. You're going to want this. So, you know, if you're used to using a smaller light and that's your go-to light is a smaller light like a tactical light, which is just like a tactical light. Only it doesn't say tactical. Because you look up tactical lights, you know, 100 lumens, 50 bucks, 150 lumens, 75, 80 bucks, $15 and you get a headlamp. Now it looks just like a tactical light. How would you spray paint that black? Who the hell's got to know, right? But I don't care because I'm not a cheap asset. I just can't afford the good stuff. And in my opinion, if this thing lasts me a year and I got to buy another one and it lasts me a year and I got to buy another one last me a year, you know. Come on, think about it. $15 a pop, right? And three years. So you're looking at what, $35? Now I had a friend, he swore by his tactical lights, but he had to buy one every year and a half to two years and he was paying $70 to $80 for him. So I would still be ahead of the game if I got to buy one of these once a year. You follow what I'm saying? But anyway, so just, you know, whatever, if you're used to a big light, you're gonna wanna go for this. If you're used to use the smaller lights or just sticking your toolbox or whatever, you're gonna wanna go for this. Stay away from these things, guys. I can't believe they're still selling them, but I mean, think about it. You know, $10 for the light and you get a battery, but then when you go buy another battery, it's $3, you know? And then another battery is $3 and these batteries don't last long. I guarantee you, if I left this turned on for an hour, it'd be dead. I'm sure I got 20 minutes, 15, 20 minutes on this one and it's still bright as hell. This one I know I've got about, let's just say 20 minutes on the charge on this one, maybe even more and it still won't strong. So that's what I like about this. This is rechargeable. So USB it, so that's a good thing about this. So these two lights are well, well worth the money, guys. The HyperTuff, it is a, what is it? It's a model 9930. Let me check here and see just to make sure. I'm pretty sure that's what I looked up. Yeah, 3.7 volt rechargeable. It's a 2000 milliamp lithium ion battery. It's a 7.4 watts. And yes, it is the model 9930. Now this one, I don't know what the wattage is or the milliamp hours because it's, it takes three 1.5 volt AAA batteries. So whatever that would be, the rechargeable is gonna have more milliamp hours. So that's probably why this is not, it doesn't say anything about that because each battery's different, you know, in milliamp hours. So yeah, these two are well worth the money. They both get a thumbs up, but for my uses, this is gonna be my go-to light. We will use this on the boat. We will use a camping. This is gonna be my go-to light. Working on cars, trucks, whatever. Camping, night fishing, just whatever. This is gonna be my go-to light, like I said, and this is gonna be my second light. I'll call it my second favorite. Like I said, it's on or off. That's it. This one, I can adjust and everything. So I'll be using this more, but they both get a thumbs up from me, the HyperTuff and the Ozark Trail light. So awesome. Like I said, it's up to you guys. Whatever you're used to, Bob means I'm not trying to get you to switch from whatever kind of equipment you use or anything like that. I'm not trying to do that. And I'm not trying to push these certain products because I don't work for them. I'm not getting paid for it. But I will tell you, this light is a good light and this light is a good light. I know this light, her dad's had a couple of years, quite a few years. You can see it's dirty. I've dropped it. I'm sure he's dropped it. This thing has been in the rain. It is rubber, you know, right there. I've never had an issue with it. It does take a little while to charge, but I've never run it clear dead. So I just, just every so often, I'll just plug it in and let it charge up. So there you go, guys. That is my review. You know, if you're looking for cheap lights, those are the two I would recommend right off the bat. Don't go out and buy $50 lights, $100 flashlights. They're not worth it, man. To me, in my opinion, they're not worth it. If I was made of money, I don't think I would go out and buy. I'm stuck on, you know, I love my certain tools, you know, like my favorite tool that I cannot afford is a snap on. I can't afford those. I don't like Mac, so I will shop at Harbor Freight for certain things. I gotta get what I can afford. Craftsman and wrenches, they're okay. Nothing in my book compares to snap on. A lot of guys like Mac. I don't care for them. I don't like the feel of them. And I've broke more Mac tools than I ever broke a snap on. That's just for an incident. So like I said, I know this light here is longevity, it's awesome, and it's very durable. This, like I said, it's aluminum. It's, you know, I mean, it's almost the same weight as this. But so this, but backpacking, you know, I mean, you can take this or you're gonna take this. Car camping, you're gonna take this or this. You'll probably take this in all honesty, but I will take this because I can put it on my belt because you can get those, you can buy sheets for these things so they can stick in your belt. It's got a lanyard, a little lanyard. You can't put your hand through it. You can put your fingers through it and you can hang it on stuff. So anyway guys, enough rambling. I hope that helped and I hope you all have a great week and a better weekend coming up. So just keep in mind, if that helps you, please let me know in the comments below or if you have or if you used any of these products, please let me know in the comments below and we'll discuss it and chat about it because that's always fun hearing other people's stories and, you know, somebody might have had one of these that was pure junk because, you know, you can get bad ones. I just, I know this is a good one. Somebody might have one of these that just stopped working, you know, who knows. But I like to hear in the comments and it also helps our other viewers too to read through the comments and see who's had what problems or what the characteristics of them are and things like that. So please feel free to comment below. I would appreciate it. And with that being said, I'm going to say Shebear, the myth man legend. I'm gone for now. You all have a good one and we'll chat at you soon. Bye-bye and take care.
