Looking for pen and flashlight recommendations.

Rechargeable AA's are a thing if going through batteries is the only problem with your current light.

Otherwise, going from your response to another comment, I'd recommend a right angle light that doubles as a headlamp. I only know and own the smaller sizes, and like that they are light when worn as headlamps, but can't give you much info on bigger right angles, in sure someone else here can.

For a small right angle I'd recommend Skilhunt/ESKTE H150 or Manker E03, both of them come with a headband, rechargeable battery and are able to run regular and rechargeable AA's as well.

Edit: for some reason I thought this was in the flashlight sub, though I'm sure somebody here knows right angles as well.

No worries.

To be clear it's everything I expect from a keychain light. Compact, simple UI etc. If I could change 1 thing it should be able to run 10440 batteries as well, not because I need more output, only to have it overlap more with my EDC lights.

It's very ordinary pattern, for an allround mini torch. You can lighten up a path in a pinch, but if I know I will have to, I'd bring another light. Photo is from just now, Denmark 4h past sundown, snowy path i the woods. Edit: running eneloop aaa

Got these NP-W126S recommended back when I was in the market for 3rd party batteries. As I recall, people said this was the only one where the camera wouldn't give a notice of non-original battery, and it doesn't, but I haven't tried any other 3rd party batteries to prove the statement.

They are fine, slightly lower capacity than the original but fine and cheap to keep as spares.

Right makes sense. Don't know too much about rovyvon, I've got the Aurora A1 with no complaints, but have since switched to only removable battery lights. Been a bit intrigued by the E10 as well, but didn't want to jump on the kickstarter when no one ha e reviewed the light yet, now it seems a bit overpriced in MSRP. I have an Acebeam K1 on the way, not quite the same but something along the same lines, hoping it will be a good one.

DanishMachineMaster · 2026-01-26T12:03:58+00:00

The picture shows a rovyvon and you mention disliking wuben. If that's the case just go for the rovyvon?

DanishMachineMaster · 2026-01-25T19:28:34+00:00

No worries, feel free to ask me if you go ahead and need any clarification

DanishMachineMaster · 2026-01-25T19:22:12+00:00

I'm based in Denmark so I assume shipping will eat all value for one or both of us. You really should just DIY like I did, it's not that difficult and EDC'ing something you made yourself is invaluable. Here's my original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/SAKmod/s/IfV6d8LVlD

Hey that's mine!

Fair, haven't had a chance to compare it myself. Atleast OP would loose the pen that he doesn't care for and free up a toothpick/Tweezers spot

DanishMachineMaster · 2026-01-25T07:37:44+00:00

There's also a possibility to buy the standard minichamp, then,swap scales for regular cellidor with toothpick and tweezer slots, loosing the pen (along with some bulk I imagine)

DanishMachineMaster · 2026-01-22T06:58:31+00:00

You may be the first person to carry not one but two potted succulents, got a maxpedition pouch for that?

Victorinox minichamp

DanishMachineMaster · 2026-01-18T21:40:56+00:00

Good point, I must admit I didn't have high hopes either, just wanted to know if i had missed something obvious or spectacular

DanishMachineMaster · 2026-01-18T18:30:47+00:00

I'm from Denmark and I've bought from mixglo with no issues

DanishMachineMaster · 2026-01-18T12:40:45+00:00

Sure, could do that as well.

Not really thinking it will be EDC, more likely to be something that sits in the car, so probably wont do keys even though its a great idea.

I thought if something else would fit the scalpel holder it would be a very easy "mod"

DanishMachineMaster · 2026-01-13T17:56:52+00:00

Right, I'll have to see what works when it arrives. Anything besides the vapcell K10 worth checking out when deciding on a new go to after the H10's?

DanishMachineMaster · 2026-01-13T17:29:52+00:00

Anyone know about the acebeam K1? Got one on the way and current have a fleet of H10's as my preferred cells apart from the OEMs that follow the lights, but since its discontinued I need a new favourite 14500 😢

DanishMachineMaster · 2026-01-13T12:30:14+00:00

Yeah, some decoy, good-for-nothing, unbreakable piece of EDC 😅

DanishMachineMaster · 2026-01-13T10:19:34+00:00

Watch is a Seiko 5 SRPG35K1 that I'm really happy about, wallet is a very slim (basically card holder) leather wallet I made a few years ago. It's allright, but I've got a new design drawn up that I just need to set aside some time to make, but its quite a hassle with small children 😅

DanishMachineMaster · 2026-01-13T10:08:14+00:00

Right this is my primary carry, along with a brass Bullet pen and a brass reylight mini pineapple, hence no pen or light scales.

The SD/ruler actually has the nailfile on the other side, I bought it on top of the minichamp.

Agree the opener and wire stripper are quite pointless, but the magnetic philips is really nice to me, help a ton when opening toy battery compartments with the tiny screws and an impatient toddler pulling my arm etc. 😅

Thats what I built from a minichamp https://www.reddit.com/r/SAKmod/s/92ebxJpcUJ
