Thanks for sharing. Why place it up and down rather than sideways thereby getting four mounting points rather than two? Also those look like wood screws to me. Again thanks for sharing. I’m excited about this product.

Have you installed this? I have it running on solar and it’s getting 170 degrees

You need some c clips

Just got my dark earth srkc the other day. It's my new f150 truck knife

You are supposed to ½ cock it BEFORE you unlatch it to open. Leave ½ cock to close. That will retract the pawl and release the cylinder stop.

Get some of those cold steel clips....I have one on my srk c.....clip it inside your pants....even carries well in basketball shorts

Great! I am looking forward to the installation video! I've been on the fence for a few years with the older model and I noticed this one and couldn't find any videos on it. I'd like to see a installation video on this and real life review after you've had it for a while. TIA

Can't figure out is it hollow or flat ground. Different sites different statements.

My major issue with the Vertx Delta Stretch pants is that they use stretch material where the button fastens. For me, a concealed carrier, the material stretches and allows the pants to constantly become unfastened. It's a real problem for me since I appendix carry and wear a Wilderness Tactical Instructor's Belt. I also find the back pocket that I put my wallet in wears out pretty quickly. I can remedy that, but not the issue with the stretchy button holes.

Kinda weird having 2. I just did mine a few weeks ago. Same Truck in a 3500 dually. 4500 Miles , about 1-2 ounces at most. I think you had about 20 % more than I did. Once the rings seat in, this will probably decrease a lot.

Just wait until you rack up more miles on it! My car does not burn a drop of oil at 111,000 miles. Why would anyone buy a truck, especially a full-size one, with a 4 banger? A naturally aspirated V8 like the Coyote 5.0 in the F-150 is the way to go. Too bad the transmissions are so questionable but at least they just fixed a defect in the 10-speed that has been going on for several years!

That’s not good… I just put one in my new 24 Denali today it has 115 miles on it. I have one on my 2015 Denali it catches a lot of blow by.

I was curious if you let the sample settle in the clear container and if there was a water mixed with oil component as the higher the humidity and a colder ambiant air temp the engine gets operated in and certainly shorter distance drives in those conditions, the more water vapour gets into the oil of an engine ( and that is where sludge formation issues become a major issue ). Any time I see someone on youtube from the northern winter climates try to use a catch can, its a mess within days all due to air temp and how the water vapour expelled from the engine through a catch can system cools off too much and the vapour returns to water and water and cold weather ... a block of ice in the catch can and bad news if the crank case system gets plugged as a result. Cold weather presents all sorts of issues !.

Their Defiance jeans, cutback shorts, and Phantom Ops pants all blow out in the same place.

Genius. Great equipment hack.

That's not a flaw! 😂

i had the same concern when installing my unit. Did some looking and found this is 10 gauge pv cable that can handle 55 amps to 18 feet. Look up renogy sizing wire for pv system. I have not had any problems so far of wires getting hot.

I got the desert tan ..thinking it would be the GO for me.. No.. it's kinda washed out. Bought again, in FDE ...😄👍😄🇦🇺

I ignored/avoided these knives for years...snobbery is all i can think of for my reason. Cheap, and probably nasty, i thought. Wrong ! Probably the best value ...bang for your buck...in the knife world. Now i own 3... 2 old skool Carbon V and a new SK 5 .. which came shaving sharp! And, with another SK 5 one on the way today, I Must get one more in cmp 3v ... Then I'm set! $320 AUD :-(

Wire size and length vs power loss..Power= Current squared times Resistance . P=i2R. If drawing 60 amps thru 1 foot 10 Ga wire (10Ga is 1 Ohm/1000 feet , so 1 foot of wire is .001 Ohms. 60 amps squared is 3600. and 3600 times .001 is only 3.6 watts.

If you wired 1 Alternator just to charge your house batteries , you wouldn't need DCDC. ( Just a MPPT Solar controller that would equalize the (Lithium?) Batteries. That your Alternators can put out 230 Amps will never be used . ( max 60 amps) . They regulate the voltage , the current is determined by what you connect to them ( the resistance of the load) Your comment about the LENGTH of the wire is true . The longer run from your alternator to the unit will have a higher resistance ( loss) than a very short wire . So it is better to install a larger wire the Longer the distance for the same amperage. Agree the 100 amp fuse seems large . With Mppt , if your alternator output Voltage is less than the Voltage required to charge your house batteries , the unit will draw more amperage from the alternator. ( power out + losses = power in). Losses include Wire resistance and converter efficiency. 75 amp fuse should be max required ( 70amps in and 50 amps out is probably the Max amps you could ever see drawn from the Alternator.

If you look at the online manual they ask for different fuses. I contacted renogy and the discrepancies between the online manual and book to confirm what fuses to use. I have a 70amp fuse between the alternator and charger and a 60amp between battery and charger. 100amp fuse is wrong. As far as charging i tested and get 45amp ish and the wire get a little warm but not crazy.

I have used just plain masking tape in various colors for a long time to diffuse lights for night time reading / area work attached to a backpack strap, etc. Cheap and works fine, then easy to remove and I have the spot is needed.

I just bought one. They sent me a 60 amp amp fuse block as part of the package. If you look at wire charts 50 amp only requires 6 gauge wire unless the runs are super long. My unit that I just bought off eBay also has a sticker on it that had a max solar input of 50 volts which indicates an upgraded model.

Very good in a 5 shot

Have you installed this yet? Keen to hear your feedback as I can't find any reviews from people actually using this product.

Yep, I’ve had one for like maybe 2 years and same thing ie ripped in that same area.

Thank you for the video. I have 2 of these pants. One I've had for maybe over 2 years and the bottom crotch area has torn/ripped and it's become big that I have to get a new pants. Anyways, I've worn those pants everyday (casual, hiking, going to the range, camping, coaching sports etc.). I think, I might have washed the pants too many times. Knowing what I know now, I will never wash the pants in a laundry machine, I will just hand wash only. As for the pants itself, it's one of the most comfortable to wear, I love the pockets, especially the back ones because there's like 2 rear pockets per side and I can easily put my flash light and knife in it. It's almost, the rear smaller pocket was designed for that. I am a size 34 but my 2nd pants is a 36 and concealing with the size 36 is very comfortable, especially when sitting down, you almost don't notice it. When it does rain, the pants do get pretty wet and become uncomfortable. Compare this with my 511 pants that was not so bad when it gets wet on a raining day. My size 36 pants will be tested to see if the crotch area will last longer or not. Besides that, this is one of my most favorite pants. Don't be fooled by the pathetic pictures they have online, these pants looks very nice and cool (if you get your correct size).

There is a hammer block safety on this model. Just take a look at the side of the hammer, you will see a screw that is a pivot point for the safety pull it down and the hammer can't drop all the way to touch the primer of the cartridge in the cylinder.

Too much trouble. Mount it to your belt. Or you could make belt loops on the sheath. I make battle and survival blades and would never recommend one of my customers carry that way. But points for trying.

one draw back is the unit does not have an ignition wire, so you can’t run the device with a smart alternator on

I definitely just got one now I want the copper one 🔥

Can you mount these knives on tek-lok?

From what I understand, the big difference between this one and the older model DC2DC Renogy charger is this one can smartly decide to prioritize alternator or solar depending on which one has the higher output. As I understand it, the old model would always prioritize solar so people were installing a switch to kill their solar while driving (if they have a small solar setup or the conditions are not ideal). Am I understanding that correctly?

I read a lot of lithium batteries suggest limiting to a 20 amp input for charging. I’m wondering if 50 amp output of this device is too much? Realizing this would replace my solar controller and add Dc to Dc potential is awesome.

Struggling to wire this in and other than the poor renogy instructions can’t find a single video of someone installing this… have you installed this yet? 😅

Like the new nitecore edc 33, claims to have flood and spot. But flood is only avaliable as 1300 and 4000 lumens, the moon, low and mid ONLY spot. So the question is, who wants 15 lumens spot? Nonsence, i agree with you, low modes MUST BE FLOOD.

How would you monitor the batteries by bluetooth to a renogy app if you had two renogy 12v 200ah batteries in parallel? so one lead acid starter and two lithium in parallel, does the controller give both starter and house bank voltage and historical use via the app?

i was reading that I could regulate this. im wondering if i need to buy the renogy one bluetooth device manager as well to take it down to 20a on the alternator and study the heat stress incrementally up to 50A. im in a minivan. so the previous model would shut off the alternator charging completely for only 2a?

Have u installed this yet?

Nice review Sir! I have 3 pair of the Delta Stretch 2.1 and love them. I rotate them with my Vertx Defiance jeans depending on the weather and what I'm doing. Keep up the great work!

Actually, it’s a pretty slick light for what it is. I was on the fence, but now I’m getting one.

Thanks for sharing - would love to know if this has the same limitations as the old one of only 25a from each of the solar panel and the alternator if both are connected to this charger.

Im considering ordering the small tan one. I have a black 7in one I got as a gift but it's to large for EDC carry. So I leave it zip tied in my f150 beside the seat belt. It's been there 10+ years now and I've used it alot

1851 Navy Conversion "Beginning in 1868, thousands of black powder Colt revolvers and Remington percussion revolvers were converted to cartridge revolvers. Among them: the 1851 Navy, 1858 New Army, and 1860 Army. Remington was the first to introduce single action cartridge conversion revolvers in 1868. The original cap-and-ball cylinder of the 1858 New Army cartridge revolver was replaced by a cartridge cylinder with a loading gate and a new breech face. The frame was dovetailed to accept an ejector assembly. The Remington conversion chambered five, .46-caliber rimfire cartridges. In 1871, Colt received an Army contract to convert one thousand Model 1860 Army percussion revolvers to use the .44-caliber centerfire cartridge being manufactured at the Frankford Arsenal. In 1872, Colt began filling civilian orders for their metallic cartridge revolvers. These were an open-top conversion of the 1851 Navy. The next design was introduced in 1873, when Colt produced the Richards-Mason conversion of the 1860 Army. Using a system patented by Colt employees Charles Richards and William Mason, the old cap and ball cylinders were cut down at the back to permit the installation of a conversion ring to accept metallic cartridges." berettagalleryusa.com/products/uberti-1851-navy-conversion#:~:text=Beginning%20in%201868%2C%20thousands%20of,cartridge%20conversion%20revolvers%20in%201868.

Nothing wrong with that light.

Iis ok to have a fixed blade in a backpack when going through metal detectors at shopping centers?

Not legal in my state but after the EMP hits everything goes.
