FENIX TA 20 TACTICAL TORCH REVIEW (MY EVERY DAY CARRY)

I recently purchased a Fenix TA 20 tactical torch after doing a revamp of my Every Day Carry; I wanted a torch with a Tactical Application, so a strobe setting and bezeled edge were paramount. The strobe setting of the light is very bright and will do its required task of dazzling persons very well if required, at night. If the torch is ever required to break glass in the event of an emergency it is purpose built for this task. The light was originally designed as a weapon light and comes recommended for hunting also, this light screams quality and is very well built and fits into the hand nicely. One of the further factors I like about this torch is that, due to the design of the on/off switch at the base of the light it is very difficult to turn off/on by accident, the following information are some of the lights characteristics:

VERDICT OF REVIEW OF TACTICAL TORCH, FULLY RECCOMENDED BUT QUALITY COMES AT A PRICE.

ALLWAYS CARRY A SPARE SET OF BATTERIES!
