Over at Amazon, there are only 3 notable tool-related Lightning Deals today.
Only one of them I would actually buy – the Energizer LED flashlight – but maybe you’ll find the 2 other deals worth the mention.
9:00am ET Prime: Ontario XR-1 Folding Knife, reg. $90
11:50am ET Prime: Energizer 2-in-1 LED Flashlight and Area Light, reg. $18.49
3:25pm ET Prime: 12 Survivors Knife Rollup Kit, reg. $99
The Ontario knife doesn’t really do anything for me, although it kind of reminds me of a hard-use Gerber USA-made folder I once tried out.
The Energizer LED flashlight and lantern looks to be the more practical of the deals, and although I have never tried one out yet, I previewed the similar 3-in-1 Energizer flashlight a year and a half ago.
As for the 12 Survivors knife rollup kit, some of the tools look like they could be handy in general purpose camping and outdoors situations, but I don’t think that axe is going to see much practical use.
It’s not really worth mentioning elsewhere, but now, thru 12/23/15, you can save 15% off select Gerber tools and equipment.
If I remember to check back, and the price is right, I might buy that Energizer flashlight. Before-sale, it’s $18.49. I think that I’ll snag one if I can catch it for under $15.
As for the 12 Survivors knife rollup kit… it reminds me of the Gerber Zombie Apocalypse Survival Kit and Sog Zombie Avenger Kit.
I wanted to point out that the Stanley Fubar III utility bar, which I think would work GREAT as part of a zombie survival tool kit, but it doesn’t look to be eligible for Stanley’s holiday $10 off $50 sale.
Prime early access deals start 30-minutes later for non-Prime subscribers. As usual, the “Lightning Deals” will have limited time sales windows and limited supplies of products that will be available at the sale prices. Sale prices will only be known once the deals go live at their designated times.
