E2D Defends Itself Against Bad Boating

Good Thing I Had My SureFire
Something tells you it's a good idea to take it along. Read how having a SureFire helped save the day for others who listened to their guts.

Back To True Stories Main

While in Wisconsin, fishing for white bass, I dropped my E2D Defender® over the side of our 16 foot Alumacraft. We eventually got it back by snagging the lanyard with a treble hook. After taking the batteries out and letting the whole flashlight dry overnight, the next day we replaced the batteries and, what do you know, it came through with 60 lumens of powerful light. But that isn't even the impressive part.

The very next day, as we were backing up the boat to the launch, the truck ran over my pile of gear, completely breaking my custom fishing rod. However, as I sifted through the splintered graphite, plastic, and metal, I found my SureFire completely unfazed by the one-ton truck's tires. That was last year, and I still have my SureFire today.

Thanks for the best of the best, SureFire. I really do inflict cruel and unusual punishment on my SureFire.
