Good light source / poorly-conceived as a daily-carry torch
Positives:
  1. it's a great little light source, neatly executed.
  2. compact and bijou.
  3. feels strong-enough to last for years.
Negatives:
  1. A bit too small, makes it fiddly to handle!
  2. The "on" button is FAR too slow to respond.
  3. The controls lack tactility - makes it hard to feel where they are.
  4. the powerful magnets that hold the base on will wipe your credit cards, magnetise your wristwatch, affect your smartphone, etc. etc. It can even prevent car and house keys that require a magnetically coded data chip from working! A *REALLY* silly idea. Do NOT carry this torch in a pocket or bag with any sensitive item.
  5. Plastic pocket clip - at this price?!
  6. Not waterproof - at this price?!
  7. Expensive for what it is, even at Drop prices.

“thanks to the waterproof CNC aluminum body,” So this is wrong?

Rowdy2026TIP2 is rated IP67: "the device can be submerged in up to one meter of fresh water for half an hour" so it is waterproof to a limit. Guess you can say it can withstand a rain shower but don't drop it in a pool or go diving with it. For EDC and pocket use, I think it suits its purpose. I would agree with the OP's comment about the magnets... totally pointless and you have to be careful with where you carry it. That was a no-go for me so I gave my two TIP2's away to friends.
