Cheap Streamlight 25103 SL 20XP LED Flashlight with 120V AC and 12V DC Vehicle Chargers, 2 Sleeves, Black Review

I use this flashlight just about everyday on the job. Since it is very light and has a great grip it is easy to hold in your armpit while you hands are busy working. The LED function works awesome when you don't need to light up everything around you just what is in front of you. I don't know exactly how long the light lasts in each mode, but probably 45 min in full mode and a very long time with LED. It is made of a polymer but is surprisingly sturdy. Previously I used the metal version of this light which worked well just a bit heavy.

Cheap SentrySafe QE5541 Fire-Safe Water-Resistant Safe with USB-Powered Connectivity, 2.0 Cubic Feet, Black Review

My friend's house was broken into recently and stuff was stolen. Among other things, he lost his laptop which had all of his photos on it. Of course, they were never back up. Even though all of my data is backed up in duplicate, I wanted to get some extra protection for my external hard drives and other small electronics. It's one thing to have your data backed up but I definitely don't want a thief to steal equipment that I paid so much for over the years.

I'm storing a DSLR, video camera, lenses, and a few hard drives in this one and I wanted the "media" safe for the extra protection in case of a fire. The safe has a nice size to it, comes with a hanging file folder drawer, and a pull out drawer with compartments to fit different items. I ended up removing the slide out drawer for the files so that I could use the top of it like a shelf so with the other shelf, I now have 3 open sections.

Mounting the safe was easy. They do include a couple of coarse-thread wood lag screws but they didn't work for me. The safe is sitting on medium pile carpet and the lag screws would just barely penetrate the sub floor. Not nearly strong enough to hold it in place. I switched to longer bolts and reinforced the floor from underneath with squares of aluminum to spread the strength. This ain't goin nowhere. Because the safe is so heavy, a thief with a prybar could slip it right under the safe and pop it out if the included lag screws were used. I think bolts are the better way to go.

The safe has the ability to connect a small USB hard drive inside and cables are included for this. There is an internal connect to link the USB hard drive on the door and then on the outside of the safe, there is another USB port. Not using this so I can't comment on it. The door has enough storage for 2 Maxtor One Touch Mini drives (I have one of those hard drives and I could fit 2 in the door pocket). There are also hooks on the inside of the door to hang keys from.

Programming the keypad was easy. You can actually program a few codes to this. One main code and then a few Manager codes.

Overall, a great safe and I'm very happy with it. Delivery was right to my curb via freight truck and I borrowed a friend's hand truck to wheel it in my house. The safe is about 200 pounds.
