Stiletto Pocket Light

This has a solid place in my EDC (everyday carry). I love this flashlight. No batteries to worry about. The built in lipo has great life. I use my light a lot. Not for long periods of time usually but for inspections, looking under the fridge for a lego, checking for burr during sharpening, etc... I hunted for a light with a good pocket clip for months. These typical bulky, round lights that hold an 18650 batteries or AAA have garbage pocket clips. The round shape to them is very unnatural and uncomfortable in the pocket. This seems nit picky when you haven’t carried the Stiletto. I had grown comfortable to these bulky, round lights because I hadn’t had anything else. After I broke another Nitecore, I had to hunt down a USA manufactured flashlight that changed the game for me. I didn’t want the same name everyone has but this is their house. Surefire just makes good stuff. It’s a name I was made familiar with during my time in the military. Literally, everyone in the military carries or has carried Surefire something. The idea of having something made in the USA with a massive manufacturing backing from a company that stands behind its military and law enforcement personnel brings a lot of pride and faith in the product. The form factor of this light is remarkable. It fits my pocket almost as good as it fits my hand. It’s extremely ergonomic in both. The pocket clip is tough as nails. I prefer a very tight pocket clip so I removed the clip, bent it a little more and reinstalled it for that super tight clip. I’ve been carrying this light EVERY SINGLE DAY. It’s fallen 2 stories now twice, been run over once and keeps coming back for more. I’ve only charged it twice since I bought it, amazingly. I don’t always use the max output though. When I do, it’s by the “tailcap”. Temporary light for a quick scan. Strobe to disorient the kids long enough for me to grab the last piece of pizza and get out of there! But low is my most used setting. Something that doesn’t blind you, doesn’t create a bright reflection. The user interface is so simple. Off the tail, it’s all temporary. Apply pressure, light turns on. Remove pressure, light turns off. It’s max lumens. Three quick taps and you go into strobe. Same technique as before. On the main panel, usb charging plug at the bottom with a waterproof rubber gasket. Above those, to the left is your mode button and to the right is the light activation. The body is a tough plastic of some sort and an aluminum head. After a few minutes on high, the aluminum can get very hot but they’ve put that warning on there so you don’t forget. It’s got decent throw and a wide, hard wall like we’re used to with Surefire lights. My only gripe is every once in awhile I’ll find the light is on in my pocket. But with its battery life, it doesn’t concern me. It uses the same micro USB that all of you android users are used to. I love this light. It’s a gem. If I manage to break it one day, at $100 I’ll buy two to replace it.

I am a flashlight collector, not sure why, maybe Im afraid of the dark. I own many lights and I always have one in my pocket. I insist on quality, and Surefire is one of the best, you will pay for this quality but its something I appreciate. This particular light, the Stiletto, is a favorite of mine due to its slim profile, this light slips easily into and out of my pocket. The USB rechargeable battery seems robust and seems to hold a charge for a very long time, and I like the protective cover over the charging port. Three light intensity settings make this a very versatile pocket light, and very powerful at the high setting. I love this light, but I must warn you of a relatively minor issue, this is why four stars instead of five. Occasionally, if there is too much stuff in my pocket, and space is cramped, the on/off switch can be depressed and the light will turn on in my pocket. If this light has room enough so that the switch will not be activated, and nothing pressing against it, you will be fine. I dont know how Surefire can fix this minor glitch, but I think they will figure it out. All things considered, this remains one of my favorite EDC lights.

I bought this for my wife and she loves it. The only problem is she keeps finding it has been turned on when she places in her purse. The button gets hit be the other items and ends up on. Other then that it is a very strong well made compact flash light.

Love this flashlight I’m a teamster I work nights early mornings perfect for inspecting my loads and pre trips love the clip

I’m giving this five stars because there’s nothing better out there. The only thing better would be if they made the pocket clip a “S clip”, so the light could go in the pocket in either direction. The dual switch function is perfect. The size and shape is identical to a EDC pocket knife. The only other “upgrade” would be if the light used a USB-C plug instead of the micro-USB. Not exactly “necessary“ but it would’ve been a nice modern feature.

I love this flashlight... I mean love it. It fits perfectly in my pocket. It is super bright. The battery life is pretty good too. The only problem I had is that the USB charging port stopped working. I can no longer charge the flashlight and can no longer use my awesome EDC flashlight.

Arrived sooner than expected, so I was pleased with that. I have the Stiletto Pro and while it’s brighter it’s heavier than the standard. The standard Stiletto is plastic bodied with an aluminum head and for me it’s much more comfortable in the pocket. It had been mentioned before and it’s true that you cannot reorient the clip direction so you can’t carry bezel down. It has come on accidentally in my pocket so you have to be aware that contact to the switch on the side can activate it inadvertently. Still a nice flashlight and I like the lowest setting of light to look at paperwork and what not at night without blinding yourself.

This flashlight is within reach 24/7 (except in the shower). You never know when a small and powerful light will be helpful, even in daylight, like when poking around a car engine or when looking for a lost toy under the couch. I have used it to help people walk down steps to a parking lot at night. It has a well defined circle of light, which I like. It is easy to keep clipped to my pants pocket. The relatively steep price is worth it to me.

Very bright. It fits nicely on my hat to free up my hands. Plastic broke after a few months. May be good for someone who works a white collar job but for me it didn’t last.

Works great. Very durable. Bright light. A bit on the pricy side. Would probably be better priced at $75......
