Hi all,

I have started a blog with reviews of EDC items
http://edcreviews.blogspot.com/
Most of the reviews are just my humble view of the items and I'm not an authority so I just comment from my end user perspective.
I have no affiliation with any of the products or sites mentioned.
If you want to visit and give me feedback I will apreciate it.
I will post in this thread when new reviews are added to let you know.

Current reviews:

I have installed a "one post a day or your money back" policy (for weekdays) :-)
Of course since the blog is free you are not getting any money back but you get the idea... :-)

Thanks for the support!

Thanks for the link, Luigi. Interesting reading, Ive seen the flash caps in Police magazines over in the UK, but as they were for bobbies to make themselves visible at crime scenes/accidents they were BLUE, & (I think?) unavailable to the general public.
Theres Certainly some good reviews of some very good kit on there.

Nice web site, Luigi. Thanks for writing the brief reviews.

The caps are a suprinsingly nice product, the way the leds are distributed provide both frontal light and 360 degree ambien light so you can use it as a flashlight or as ambient light. The magnet, tripod hole and lanyard add several options to use it/carry it, besides the use as a caps for a D maglite of course. The red one on top of a mini tripod is great for astronomy as a nice ambient light.

Thanks for the feedback! :-)

June 29th.

It's been a long time without updating this thread but it was just because there were so many reviews that I didn't want to bump and bump since most of you are already aware of the site.

About 1 review per day posted so many many new mini reviews were added. And more to come!
