Wall O’ Maglites: What Do You Collect?
By Eric Dykstra
A member of Candlepower Forums (at www.candlepowerforums.com) who calls himself sizzlechest has an awesome collection of Mini-Mag Maglites, which he shared online. His collection contains everything from run-of-the-mill units to custom-milled and wooden versions made by other forum members. Wow!
It’s nice to see a collection like this. The guy obviously is fond of these flashlights and manages to display them without being too, shall we say, redneck-y about it. But his photo got me wondering what all you Toolmongers collect. Flashlights? Pocket knives? Nuts and bolts? If you’ve got a cool collection post it to the photo pool or tell us about it in comments.

That is either the wall of a single man or of a room a wife never goes into.

I wish Toolmongers would be more into “super” flashlights/spotlights like Maxabeams,Megabeams and Surefires rather than Maglights,Everreadys and cheap LEDs.
Check out Surefires Beast-ll light.
I collect, classic Japanese motorcycles, (mainly XS650s, early CB750s, and late KZs 650+1000s
with a few small 2 strokes thrown in, RDs, DTs, H1s )
Tools, (Wescott wrenches, Multi tools and by default, Milwaukee tools, they don’t ever die,)
Compasses, (vintage Silva, Leupold forestrys, etc)

I think it’s pretty cool. It’s different. I’d prefer to look at a wall of interesting flashlights than of Precious Moments figures or whatever those ugly bug-eyed statues are called, or of a wall of department store “art.” But then, I collect AOL disks, so what do I know. LOL
