i read somewhere (the mit?) that you can use a thumbtack and a rubberband to hold the tension wrench; works well espically if you are really frustrated

thats because you dont have a headband flashlight like me. :P


*slaps forehead* I have a petzel flashlight around somewhere. lol!

Energiser do a nifty little combo set comprising a keychain light, 2 different 4AAA flashlights and a 3AAA headlamp...all using LED's.

The headlamp is the second from the top, here:

I paid about 16 quid, for the set, at Costco. 8)

*offtopic*

how do LED's fair for sheding lights in the lock? personally, i cant stand how flat the light is(although 50 hours of runtime is tempting).

I've used LED lights for some time now, and have gotten used to the cool color temperature. Reminds me of HMI lights used in film and theatre. Your mind kind of re-trains itself to interpret color under this color temperature, just as it already has while under tungsten light inside at night.

The runtime is a definite plus, and if you get the high-wattage LED lights they compete with halogen/krypton for brightness and range. ~Grit.
