Tools and Hardware Reviews of Streamlight 73001 Nano Light Miniature Keychain LED Flashlight, Black
Customer Review: Best of the keychain flashlights
Summary: 5 Stars
Having a tiny flashlight with you at all times is a significant safety factor. Having tried different types, I can say this is the best I've used. It is precision made and VERY bright, and has a proper lens to focus the light. Although some here have complained that it needs two hands to operate, the twist on-off is much more positive than the pressure type microlights, which can be turned on accidentally and just don't work reliably - it's worth the inconvenience. Other reviewers have complained that the two sections became separated in their pockets, but I have not had this problem - mine has a pretty tight thread. It's easy to add teflon thread tape if not. The batteries seem to last a long time. Recommended.Customer Review: Super Duper
Summary: 5 Stars
OK for all those flashlight aficionados out there this is NOT the biggest brightest baddest flashlight out there, however, for what it is its darn good! I am a phone man and its perfect for using in dark or under lit telephone equipment rooms or at remote cell tower sites. There's nothing like walking 200-300 yds, taking elevators, signing into security etc and getting to the customers phone equip room and hearing "oh I'm sorry this light is burned out, good luck", saves you a trip to the truck!Fits perfectly on my key ring, you never know its there and the clip appears to be pretty rugged as well.As another poster said earlier a little plumbers teflon tape around the threads makes the ON/OFF action snugger.Customer Review: Perfect for country nights
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in the country in the Pacific Northwest. Because there are no streetlights around, when the sun goes down it's dark, especially on our long overcast nights. Not a problem with this guy. It throws enough light to keep my feet dry when walking up a long puddle filled drive. Believe me, that's appreciated. It's every bit as bright as the Mini Maglite (wider but shorter beam) it replaces, but at a fraction the size, it lives on my keychain and doesn't get left in the wrong pocket when I change coats.
The construction is every bit as good as the Maglite's. It's well machined and finished as well as durable and waterproof. This is as near to perfect a fit for me as I can imagine.
Customer Review: Good Little Light
Summary: 5 Stars
This little light has a sturdy metal design, not a flimsy plastic one like so many keychain lights I've owned in the past. It's nice that I don't have to worry about it breaking apart inside my pocket. Also, to turn it on you just twist the head about a half a rotation clockwise, and it STAYS ON until you twist it back again. So you're not stuck holding a button down to keep the light on like you have to do on so many other small lights. The light is also considerably bright, especially for it's size. And because it's an LED the battery lasts for a very long time. A good little companion and a top notch product, nothing I've owned before can even hold a candle to it.Customer Review: Wonderfully bright, compact, weighs next to nothing
Summary: 5 Stars
This nanolight is extremely tiny and so makes a perfect companion on your keyring or anywhere that requires you to travel light (no pun intended). There is a claimed 10 lumens of power and I do not dispute this figure at all. There was more light output than even a LED headband light that I use with 3 AAA batteries. The light on this unit travels far too, something that small LEDs often have a problem with. Unit turns on easily by just twisting the tube. The only potential downside are the strange sized batteries, but heck, how else would they power the unit while keeping it so small? The total length is 2/3 the size of a AAA battery.
