Recently, whilst looking through all the gash folk post on facebook, an advert appeared for an awesome torch. So I saved this for perusal at a later date.

Fast forward to last weekend & the wife was away with her pals from Friday to Sunday so it was just me & the kids. They were down to sleep around half seven on Saturday so I had a few lagers. Then a few more. Then I remembered about the awesome torch, went to have a look, clicked their website to be told the more you order, the greater the savings.
Yes, I clicked on mutlibuy, however the next screen asked if I wanted super duper rechargeable batteries as these things are so powerful , standard batteries don't last, at this point I saw sense, closed the browser down & went for another beer.

Ten minutes later, I thought feck that , i'll just buy the one then. Back into their website, did the deed.

Cue yesterday, I was in a meeting in Edinburgh & the wife texts asking what I've spent £150 on. Oh crap. Told her I'll explain when I get home.

Gets home at tea time, explain that I've made a wee mistake shopping on Saturday, she takes it rather well until I notice the 2 boxes in the kitchen. Crap, told her she's going to be a bit more upset when I open the boxes. Turns out the webpage I shut down was already logged as an order and I ended up getting 4 fecking torches!

Tried to spin them as a start to Christmas shopping, I think I'll have another big bill as recompense shortly... feels better to share!

They say a problem shared is a problem doubled!!!

Lesson for the future log in as your wife, then you can blame her!!



Million dollar question is; are the torches any good!!!

There may be an issue with aircraft flight paths in Scotland if I fire all 4 up at the 1 time!! It's like an led headlight bulb in a torch. Must be great as they say the SAS use them as well as US Navy Seals

Now i am tempted and not even had a drink!!!!

Obviously, I do have spares

Post more details. The Man in me is itching to see what i am missing!!!

Me too - I'm actually looking for a torch that has a decent range

Just wondering why the military would use them, especially the types that do COVERT operations. Won't they be visible from miles away when they use these lights................... Just wondering

Anyway, post some pics and specs etc. now we need to see what we all are itching to get, SAS/Seals or whoever use them  MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

I've done a bit of googling & it turns out that, yep, you guessed it, I've pretty much bought some rather crap torches at a grossly overinflated price. Please don't tell the wife.... I'll just go and sit in the corner for a while.

Let me know when you're next drinking & I'll send you some of my eBay links

Off to Spain on Monday with a couple of pals, thank god I never have data roaming switched on!

My son calls it "red wine online shopping" I do lots of it, I have junk here you wouldn't believe.  Geoff

It would appear that you have some takers for the spares on here, now given that we know you ordered them by mistake and are lumbered with a massive surplus stock, and SMBO is at you, and we know what you paid for them, and you told us they are ..... I reckon £5 each to shift them sounds fair enough  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
