Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No! But I do it anyway, because it's sterile and I like the taste.
Technically urine is only sterile inside the body once it's released into the air it will immediately grow bacteria. I'm sure you already know this and I'm also pretty damn sure your not drinking it either...atleast I hope not lol.
@@shaunar3117 it's a quote from the movie Dodgeball
@@shadetownloner Oh, wow I had no idea never heard of that movie. Funny saying though.
It’s like having a sun roof on a car; you pay extra to have it, rarely use it, forget that it’s there sometimes, but when you need it...you need it
Yes. My wife and daughter have O-Light keychain lights on their keys and since they use their keys everyday they have a light with them EVERYDAY.
Great video, I’m a fan of the Olight i1r, even this fénix pack some power but is to big, 500 lumens for 12 minutes? Emergency last more that 12 minutes, plus i didn’t see on the video the flash light next to keys, I bet together is to much for the pockets. For that reason a keep my Olight!!!!
I’ve had an i1R on my keychain for over a year now; it’s a great little light & I always have it.
💥That little thing is *PERFECT*
I also carry a i1r due to its size, weight and reasonable lumens. If I have a need for very-high lumens, I will go for a full-size flashligh.
Just FYI: you can connect a Nitecore flashlight to a power bank, and they draw power from there. Making it perfect for camping.
The Tini 2 is a very good light! Funny thing is, I found this while I was going to buy the Fenix you recommended. USB-C charging the best part. I'm trying to convert all my lights to USB-C.
2:30, DAMN you're steady holding that at an odd angle/position.You could have been a great shooter !

Key light flashlight conforms to the 1 is none, two is 1. It also is more likely to be with you, as your keys and phone are the two most likely items you will have (yes we should carry a knife, multitool, this and that). The cost, size, weight benefit makes sense to have one. Just an opinion.
Don’t believe the hype and don’t buy this, the buttons get pressed really easily in the bag and when ever you reach for it. The opposite of tactical.
Interesting that has been your experience
That is a very small but powerful keychain flashlight. Based on a previous GT review I went out and purchased the Fenix E03R. I went with the Fenix for its Red Light capability. Liked the comparison between the Fenix and the Nitecore.
How does it compare size wise to a TIP? It seems expensive since I got my TIP SE 700 for $25 and it has 700 lumens. I know it has the battery gauge which is nice but doesn’t seem worth an extra $15.
TIP bigger than TIKI 2
And yes, it's costs lesser than TIKI 2
But, I have TIP CRI and TIP 2, and I will not buy TIP SE.
TIKI 2 is on my wishlist, TIP SE is not
@@maxneyasit8130 Is it just because of the size that you won’t buy it? I love mine. It works great.
Thanks, Aaron. I run a Nitecore TIP on my keychain now, and this offers an upgrade in an even smaller package. I'm in!
I use the Tiniest 2 as a nite light and leave it on all night. It actually lasts for over 60 hours. Very useful.
Interesting video and flashlight. Good review. I’ll stick to my i1r Olight . Throughout the last five years I think I have a flashlight in every bag and probably two or three in my jeep and everything I own are everywhere. LOL. The OKC SP-5 is on sale right now on Amazon for $48 and change if anyone’s interested usually around $75.
You don’t need, until you do. I have a Surefire keychain light I use more than I thought I ever would m. My phone has a light. I carry the Nitecore TM9K TAC everywhere except the shower even though it’s waterproof. Also carry a lighter (don’t smoke) because you never know. Bottom line, it’s the individual’s lifestyle, environment and choice.
I usually start my dog walks pre dawn so my keychain flashlight has helped me find the dog poop (and keep from stepping in any) multiple times when I forget my main flashlight. Same with having at least a small knife on my keychain when I forget my main ones
first, i carry a m1t raider in my pocket and a i1r on my keychain and that works the best for me (ofc of the flaslights in my colection)
i carry the streamlight microstream as my edc flashlight and olight i3e eos as my back up keychain flashlight
I EDC a Sofirn SC31 Pro,it’s bigger than a keychain light but it’s still pretty small for a light with an 18650,it’s also 2,000 lumens..plus it’s on Amazon for like $40..for anyone not familiar with Sofirn,I highly recommend their products,they make some great flashlights and are very reasonably priced
I carry a Nitecore Tip 2017. It's my favorite piece of gear. Small, long battery life, and versatile. I love it.
Its taken me years to get to this point, but I no longer carry keys. Freedom!
What sold me on the TINI 2 is the low light settings, 1, 15, and 65 lumens. That’s adequate in most no/low light situations. The button lockout and battery gauge are other great features.
I attached my light to small multi-tools too! I put clips on the tools to attach the light, then I can detach the light and mouth it when both hands are needed. Fits great in the 5th or watch pocket!
I own one and love it, powerfull and small! Awsome display! Thanks for the vid👍👍
The aurora lights are quite good for a Keychain. The a5x replaced a i1r for me.
Thing I prefer on the fenix is its a Keychain light, its simple its robust its bright its got red light its battery is good it charges fast enough its battery indicator is simple easy to read.
I use my nightcore tube religiously and daily. Life without it is ... difficult to see and dark ...
Nice!!
Great morning video with coffee in hand! Thanks Aaron enjoy your day
Excellent review. Very informative and definitely helpful.
Good night ! The display of my Tini2 doesn,t turn on anymore. Do you know if it is a defect or configuration problem ? (it should turn on when pressing the mode key). Thanks !
Those small OLED displays are very sensitive to ambient humidity. The display has a calendar life of 5-6 years, but it will last much less in a moisty or wet environment.
The organic LEDs are killed almost immediately by oxygen, so there is a layer of epoxy sealing them. If water or moisture creeps under the epoxy, the display is fried. I would like to see a small LCD panel in those flashlights, but they are 10x the price of a monochrome OLED...
Wow, what timing. After 6 months of carrying the Fenix E03R, it has broken. It's been a great light but I was looking at the Tini 2 as a replacement. Thanks for the review. I shall be ordering one soon!
Have you bought the Tiny 2? If yes how does it compare to the Fenix? I’m deciding between two.
@@txng I like it a lot (T2). It does feel cheaper than the Fenix though. The Fenix is a lot more robust. It's possible that I burnt my circuit board charging it off my Macbook Pro charger (maybe?). So now I use a much weaker charger to charge the T2.
I carry mine in my front pocket along with a wallet pouch. The T2 accidently turns on easier in pocket than the Fenix due to the buttons. The Fenix button is more flush. To assist with this I just leave my T2 on demo mode. That way it turns off in 30 seconds automatically. If I know I'm gonna use the light for awhile then you simply just hold down both buttons for a second and it's in daily mode and the light will stay on until you turn it off.
The annoyance I had with the Fenix was that I had to hold down the button for a second or two before it turned on. Not instantaneous like most flashlights. This kind of lead me to not using my Olights properly because I would hold down the on/off switch like I would the Fenix. So when I'd go to turn off my Olight, I'd accidently hold down the button like on the Fenix. That would make the flashlight cycle through the brightness levels.
What I liked about the Fenix was the construction and the red led feature. And, I would trust it getting wet more than I would the T2. The T2 has the little lcd screen and a good high beam. I don't think really that you could go wrong with either one. Both are very much the same size. The Fenix is a hair longer but thinner. The T2 shorter but thicker. Pick the feature you like and run with it.
Hope this helps.
I buy the tip se because battery in 500 mmah
Operating with light modes on TIKI 2 is match better than the Fenix.
Fenix have better IP protection, bat that's all. Other position takes TIKI 2
Have a light in my truck, at work, and at home. Never felt the need to "EDC" one.

One or two lights on you permanently will make you a flashaholic.
A normal person see the various light sources as part of the surrounding infrastructure, be it mobile or stationary. A flashaholic consider that a light source must be under his control, not part of civil infrastructure but part of himself. Other flashaholics are just scared of the dark...
If you keep an AAA flashlight on your keys you can use the AAA battery in your Streamlight 1L-1AA when your CR123 battery dies.
God says "let there be Light"
The durability seems good enough, the fenix looks like its going to be tougher and last longer but dont forget, if you daily drive this. The battery is going to degrade on you faster than you the build is going to. As long as its waterproof and can withstand some punches im happy
I carry a AAA Maratac small 100L light in my pocket, always, but esp. in the dark winter. But I have flashlights in every room, two in each car, and in every back pack i have. I make my wife and kids have one in their purses and packs also. Just me.
Why does it hurt when I shiver
I always carry a backup flashlight and a multitool keys chains because you never know and has pays off
Does 500 vs 350 lumens tell the whole story? Does the Streamlight bezel and reflector throw the light differently resulting in a more usable beam than what comes from the Nitecore?
I have a rovyvon aurora a3 attached with an exotac .380 magnet on my keychain. Not expensive, multiple light outputs, usb rechargeable, and able to stick to any metal surface. I also carry a rofis r1 on my belt. I love flashlights with magnetic bases that are rechargeable, because batteries are way overpriced these days.
I use a rovyvon aurora (the one with the uv led) that hangs in my offhand front pocket on a tec p7. Completely forget it's there and it stays out of the way of the other stuff in the picket but I find myself using it probably daily, especially at work
Hey Aaron, just out of curiosity?what tools do you use to maintain your pocket knifes? I think that would make an Awesome video:))
Fenix has a red light. I like that...
I used to EDC a light (olight i3t) in my pocket. I loved it, carried it all the time, and used it regularly. But I realised that I only ever used it for 30 seconds at a time.
I got one of the tiny nitecore TIKI keychain lights, it's more than enough for what I need. If I do need more light, then I need more than a AAA pocket light could throw anyway.
I always have the Freedom 2 on my key ring. Ultra light, keeps keychain bulk down, perfect for finding keyholes, and items in my bag. My Olight sits in my pocket for the jobs where I need more throw.
I have a no name coin cell freebie light from Batteryjunction.com that I use more than I ever expected to.
I carry two mini nightcore flashlight and have had to repair 1 of their first, I have 3 of these new versions with detailed read outs haven't studied the function sequences yet much but over time I'll figure it out. So far I use them alot, and very pleased with the durability, and the clips on a couple of them, plus putting them conveniently in my mouth.
Rovyvon a3x or a3pro has to be the best keychain light in my opinion. I had the original for a year and now the a3x for a year and am blown away by its performance. 650 lumens and much smaller than that nitecore. Very similar performance to an S1 baton.
Good to see you’re investing in quality toys for your children 🙂
My tiki has been great, but looking at the tini 2 for upgrade
Olight s1r is a 1000lumens same size.
Just my opinion, but 95% of people carrying modern folders could get by with a SAK. Which would allow people to ditch their keychain multi tool. As for keychain lights they can be replaced with the flashlight app. Field notes can also be replaced by the smart phone. Of course this doesn’t apply to everyone, but definitely the majority.
@@Matthew_Australia 😂 ok son. I didn’t have a phone until I was in my 30’s.
@@Matthew_Australia 90% of the population might use a flashlight when the power goes out once or twice a year. Like I said, that doesn’t apply to everyone. Stop being a drama queen.
Unfortunately no hat clip.
Tini2 is very good flash light!
I like my olight baton 2
Wish it would come with a proper metal pocket clip for lightweight edc light
Honesty; it's too small for a pocket clip. A house key is longer.
I’m scared o’ the dark.
I don't care at keychain flashlights, or at least most of them. They generally promise lots of lumens for a naturally reduced runtime, or in any way require more constant recharges if used as main sources. In my opinion a good pocket light like the Microstream is the sweet-spot between larger and keychain flashlights.
I dislike the rectangular lights because for the most part aren't waterproof. The smaller tube lights are usually waterproof. I Use a Jetbeam Jet AAA light.
