NIGHTSTICK is a company I came across while searching for a cost-effective solution to carry on patrol every day. A common problem in any low-light situation is balancing the necessities of your lights power, size, and runtime. NIGHTSTICK’s solution to these issues resulted in the creation of the model NSR-9924XL. Per NIGHTSTICK’s website: This […]
In the past several years, Gerber has seemed to redefine themselves with a growing line of products. This is a good thing for consumers that enjoy different products for a wide variety of uses.
