Jim has become known to many flashaholics as a self
appointed flashlight abuser. To sell a flashlight it has to be proven
tough.
In 2004, when a dealer of HDS lights, the sales demo
process involved the sacrifice of a personal Ultimate 60. This light
became known as "Pummeled" and led to many design improvements.
Later
as Director of Support Services for Novatac, the same abusive treatment
was applied then once again while a Dealer for ElZetta.
Currently a
dealer and believer in the quality of 4Sevens flashlights, a
test of the toughness of the new Quark line was in order. The
Quark 123 in the following photos was sacrificed for science. It is
now a personal example for current and potential customers of the
inherent toughness of the Quark line of lights.
These are
fantastic lights and are now proven, in the mind and experience of this
Dealer to be in the ranks of the toughest lights available for
flashaholic or general consumption.
Now you don't need to be concerned about dropping or ruining the good looks of your Quark to know how tough they are!
Here's the proof:
This Quark 123 has been thoroughly tested for abuse beyond the boundaries of normal use.
It took many hits directly to the bezel before finally cracking the lens.
After a combination of over 25 spinning throws
air-to-concrete and direct slams to solid concrete, the light looks
like it's been to hell and back but it still works exactly as new!
The bottom line is that it still functions flawlessly!
