Copper Pocket Flashlight — I

Description

Turned from solid copper bar on a screw machine: 3 1/8 inches long, 5/8 of an inch across the barrel, 2.4 ounces with a cell in it. One AAA, one output, one job. About 90 lumens for an hour and a half, worked by a twist head with no modes to click through. The barrel is knurled in a diamond pattern deep enough to hold with wet hands. Threads are square-cut and carry an o-ring, so it shrugs off rain and dust, but it is not made for swimming. Bare copper goes salmon, then brown, then mottled within a week of pocket carry. A cut lemon and salt takes it back to new if that bothers you. Ships without a cell.
