It was about $18 at Target.

After roughly four years of entirely reliable and satisfactory service it is still kicking.

Up side is it is $30 cheaper (you could buy three if you include S&H) and slight more compact. Otherwise they are functionally equivalent. Minus the label and bragging rights, of course.

For the price of the Fenix I can buy a perfectly good light, compass, and knife. It is a question of how much you value your money and how careful you are with it.

George Carlin was right - it is all about money. What you do with money; what you do for money.


If you are happy with it then it works for you, but they aren't comparable, one is like a yugo the other is like a nissan 350z. They all have 4 wheels and an engine, but when you run them side by side you'll easily see why they aren't the same.
