    At this point I have only a couple of full 2X setups left - i.e. 2X, pairs of 3500mAh batts, plus charger set.

    For your M1 Claw its Aliexpress - IF - it is the time set model M1 Brian and I finessed for NZ. And b4 you buy there or anywhere you need to be sure about NZ warranty backup - 3 years minimum. These aren't $30 lights.. Maxtoch also sell the mount sets on aliexpress.

    Thanks Mike, I've waited this long so I can wait some more until you have something else sorted

    It's has been good fun over the years, pulling them apart, rehashing, suggesting changes, ....

    Onwards and upwards. Development will be slow as I only get about 20 minutes on my feet at a time at the moment, followed by a few of hours recovery before I can walk again. Though plans are afoot to sort that out too.

    Wow

    Well I can definitely attest to how good the Maxtochs are - and also how great Mike and Brian have been.

    I have no doubt Maxtochs success is due not only to the technological advantages of their torches, but more significantly, the effort and significant technical design input from Mike and Brian

    I feel for you guys that matters have not gone the way you might have hoped/expected.

    Good on you for your sincerely appreciated hard work, and all the very best in your own endeavours!!!

    Si

    I think it's a testament to both @gadgetman and @mudgripz that you still back these products even though the business relationship hasn't proceeded. Thank you both so much for all your advice and service.
    You could've come on here and slandered the shit out of maxtoch but you haven't perhaps there's a lesson in that for all of us.

    That is typical salesman behaviour. Something I've noticed over the years. Work for one outfit and slam the oppositions products. Move to the opposition and start slamming the company you were working withs products that were so much better than the stuff they're flogging off now. Then they wonder why the same customers don't really trust them.

    More like knife makers. They make things as good as they can. If they were honest with themselves they would have to admit they are just having to sell them so they can go and make some more.

    Maxtoch best all-purpose hunter lights on the planet right now - that's a fact. Enjoy them. We will.

    But we are getting very interested in the new generation lights as design thinking starts to take shape. The idea of four new, pure purpose driven hunter lights is starting to unfold - slightly different concepts from the past. Well beyond them in performance - and application in the field. Mmmmmm...

    Gadget has a smile on his head. We'll see!

    If you could get your new light ideas developed and into production faster would you want to? What would it take to do this? Our own kiwi version of Kickstarter?

    Will take a while to get the new generation light planning off the mark - so enjoy the Maxtochs - great lights. They don't come better... until..

    Fact is we could have picked any chinese light company years ago when we picked Maxtoch to develop designs with. They were unknown here and knew nothing of hunter lights. And at this stage we can easily pick another company to develop new range - if we go that way. But ... we'll take our time to get it all right. 3-6-12 months ... who knows? The design work has begun.

    One thought - an email from Maxtoch suggests they may do future servicing in China, which means you will have to courier new lights over there and back for any running repairs/replacements. That's not ideal for local buyers and I do hope they change to a local service agent. Just be aware of this when buying new - am also not sure if its a full 3 year warranty. A little thought needed when you buy now..

    Still have a full 2X set plus couple of chargers here if anyone keen - these serviced by Brian

    Brian's health not the best - but he did manage to change the alternator on my truck the other day..
