May 29, 2025
You can buy a $5 flashlight at the gas station, but you definitely get what you pay for. Instead, invest in the last flashlight you'll ever buy with the tough and rugged Nite Ize INOVA X2 LED flashlight. Pushing out a crazy bright 280 lumens, it's waterproof, crushproof and looks really cool too. Tech expert Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ puts the INOVA X2 through its paces, with a water test and even a crush test where he drives a Toyota 4Runner over the light to see if that damages it! Check out the entire line at https://www.NiteIze.com/

is this the last flashlight you'll ever
0:01
need to buy let's find out Dave Taylor
0:11
here and I'm looking at flashlights I
0:13
like flashlights they're super useful
0:15
particularly like in your car or your
0:18
boat or RV but anytime that you're out
0:20
and about and it's nighttime or could
0:22
become night obviously a flashlights a
0:25
huge win now
0:26
lots of companies make flashlights but I
0:28
really like night eyes they have all
0:30
sorts of really cute little guys like
0:33
these but the one I want to look at
0:34
today is this this is the eye Nova x2
0:38
well this is the box this is the eye
0:41
Nova x2 this is this great super super
0:44
bright flashlight it runs off of two
0:46
double-a batteries that's all you got to
0:48
put in it and they will last basically
0:50
forever and not only that if you leave
0:53
this in like your glove compartment it
0:55
can sit for years and still be ready to
0:57
go as soon as you are ready to use it
0:59
now obviously does it work is it bright
1:02
what do you think I'd say that's pretty
1:04
darn bright in fact it's 280 lumens at
1:08
its maximum setting and this is on
1:10
brighter so then we can go to less
1:12
bright so you can see there's different
1:14
features and different brightness levels
1:16
which is great because at the lower
1:19
brightness level it is a hundred hours
1:21
off of two doublea's which is super easy
1:23
on the higher level it's super bright
1:25
and of course that get you down to just
1:27
a couple hours but I doubt that you'll
1:30
be needing that much brightness for that
1:31
long and the LED itself it's off of a
1:34
single LED which is crazy
1:36
that'll last over 36,000 hours so that
1:40
is a lot of flashlight time if you're
1:43
using it for a couple hours a night
1:44
that's like more than light in your
1:46
entire life so you're not gonna have any
1:48
problems with this now it's actually
1:51
really cool it's made out of aerospace
1:53
grade aluminum as they say and it has a
1:55
little clip on it so you can actually
1:57
clip it to your shirt or your jacket or
2:00
you could even turn it on and clip it to
2:02
a strap or something while you're
2:03
working as you can see in this photo it
2:06
is more than enough to illuminate your
2:07
wheel if you get like a flat tire or
2:10
have some issues in the middle of the
2:11
night and it's also shockproof crush
2:14
proof and waterproof and the entire
2:18
switch system is on the very end it's a
2:20
soft rubber switch turn it on turn it
2:23
off easy enough see what I was going to
2:25
tell you about it is there's pretty much
2:28
all the important pieces it's 5.6 ounces
2:30
and just they'll smidge under six inches
2:33
long and let's actually run it through a
2:36
couple of tests right because you know
2:38
company says it does this stuff that's
2:39
nice
2:40
first off it is waterproof so it's in
2:44
water and you can see it's still working
2:47
which is cool
2:48
now that's a fun test but it's given
2:51
another test let's actually go ahead and
2:52
run it over with my car and see what
2:54
happens because I suspect that when they
2:57
say this is shockproof they mean it is
2:59
seriously a shock and crush proof so
3:02
let's find out we're back and it has
3:12
survived which is kind of amazing but
3:14
does it still work
3:16
yes it's still in fact in perfect shape
3:18
which is great because I don't
3:21
anticipate driving over my flashlight or
3:23
having it in a bowl of water but you
3:25
never know I might get a flat tire at
3:27
night and it's raining and I need the
3:29
light and I might just put it on the
3:31
ground and point it at my tire and I
3:33
don't want to worry about it starting to
3:34
like flash and then go out because it
3:36
doesn't like water or something
3:38
now there are tons of really cheap
3:40
flashlights but you kind of get what you
3:42
pay for this is the flashlight you'll
3:44
never need to replace this is gonna last
3:46
longer than your car the bulb is gonna
3:49
last longer than you are this is just a
3:52
great rugged tough flashlight now before
