Product Description
Made for the EDC Community, the Massdrop Brass AAA Pocket Flashlight is about the size of a tube of chapstick—but it pumps out 110 lumens and casts a beam as far as 154 feet (with the CREE XP-G2 R5 LED). Despite measuring less than 3 inches long, it weighs 1.5 ounces for a substantial feel in the hand Read More

Classy looking flashlight for work
It's a flashlight and it works quite well. It feels great in hand, and looks nice too. I wear this one in my khakis to work, and I've received several compliments from coworkers.

Always handy
Perfect small form factor to carry every day or leave on your desk. Comes in handy and I use it almost daily. Does burn through batteries, but I prefer that to one that does not get bright enough.

Great flashlight!
Honestly, it's such a great flashlight, esp. for EDC and use around the house. BUT every time I take it camping it turns on and is dead by the time we make camp lol.

Meh, color is cool
I'm used to the way a cheapo olight can brighten an entire house with an AAA battery. This... can't. But it looks cool on your pocket. It's functional. Buy it if you think you'd like it, but it won't surprise you.

Loved the size and look
Perfect little light to fit in that 5th pocket in your Levi's. Way better than fumbling with your phone.

Looked great, never worked.
Left 3* review for aesthetics, shipping on time and exterior quality. It didn’t work out of box, but I misplaced it and didn’t attempt to process a return. That part is on me.

Super sharp looking
Unfortunately mine has died..I replaced the battery but still no luck. Could it be the bulb? I only used it twice, but it was in the tankbag of my motorcycle for a couple of years..

Love this flashlight. Using it for years now and have it on my hip in my Leatherman Charge case along with my bit extender and a Fisher Space pen. The case is starting to shread, but the flashlight has never failed. The single AAA battery makes for a compact unit that gives lot of light. Highly recommended.

Works great! My go-to EDC torch I carry in my pocket. (Been using this for over half a year.) Personally, I am a fan of patina on brass. Here's a fun idea: match it with a brass watch! Do check out the Drop Vega flashlight as well. Personally, I think the Vega is better for outdoor / use in trials.

I disassembled the full thing after a AAA battery leaked acid all over the insides, and the battery acid destroyed the button switch board. Seeing as how others have had issues with the button switch dying, here's a nice trick to continue using the flashlight without the button switch. Make sure the LED isn't what is broken first! As others have mentioned, there is a button end and the LED end, and both ends are screwed onto the middle barrel. Unscrew the button end. The button end has the battery contact spring. There is some sort of loctite, so you may need some pliers to unscrew it. After unscrewing it, inside the button end threading, there is a metal ring with 2 holes. That metal ring is threaded and screwed into the button end threads. I used needle nose picks like chopsticks to unscrew the metal ring. May take some force to get it started, but once you do, you just need 1 pick to twist it all the way out. Once the metal retaining ring is gone, you can push the button hard to push out the control circuit board with the battery contact spring. I suspect an issue is that the button or the on-board soldered battery is dead. I ripped out the tiny soldered on battery with my needle nose pick. From there, get rid of the black rubber ring glued around the battery contact spring. Be sure to clean up as much of the glued rubber residue as possible. Next, I took a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil twisted it into the battery contact spring, getting it as close to the control board as possible. Make sure the foil connects the battery spring metal to the outer ring metal of the control board, and get the foil twisted as flat towards the board as possible. Trim off the excess foil so that the control board slides back in easily. Finally, put the control circuit board back into the button end cap like how you took it out, and tightly screw back in the metal retaining ring. Make sure the retaining ring starts screwing back in easily until it starts tightening to avoid destroying the threading. The ring is used to complete the circuit with the foil. Re-assemble the rest of the flash light. The goal is for the foil to be squeezed between the metal retaining ring and the control board outer metal ring. When the battery contact spring is squeezed by the battery being fully inserted, electrical current will flow through the flashlight casing metal to the retaining ring to the foil to the spring and into the battery. This bypasses the button switch control board. How the circuit works is basically: electricity flows from the battery to the LED to the flashlight metal case to the button switch circuit and back into the battery. If you did it right, you basically got a twist switched flash light! I tighten the battery end and just twist the LED end to turn on/off the flashlight. It seems the LED end has whatever does the 3 light modes, so you still keep the dimming feature! Note, it may no longer be water proof anymore after all this disassembly and the need to keep the LED end sightly untightened. Also, depending on how much you untighten the LED end, you can push the button kind of hard to complete the circuit too, but it will turn off right when you depress the button.
