Hi guys. A recommendation post here.
I’ve got a petzl head torch. It’s 15years old. It’s been to hell and back all over the world on site when I welded in mills and chambers for a living. It must of been bashed off a thousand Scaff poles while strapped to my hard hat, It’s also been in afew rivers on many night fishing sessions it’s so well used, abused and old. I don’t know the actual model any more as the letters have worn off. something something ATEX it says. Anyway she’s working just fine accept the mechanism that holds it in position has worn out. It’s a simple plastic ratchet tooth arrangement that holds it at the angle you set. Now it just flops and points at the floor.
I want another one. I want one that’s just as good. It’s long discontinued out the range and looking through the large petzl range I have no clue which one to get.
Don’t recommend an led lenser to me because that’s not what I’ve had the last decade n half so I’m sticking with what I know and like. Does anyone have a modern petzl? Although my site days are over, I’m still likely to kick it in the river again that I’m sure of so I need another good one. I’ll attach a pic of the old one if someone can recommend a direct replacement that would be good.
