I was hoping your wife would chime in at the end and describe how bad you twitched when she tested it on you.Alright you cheap bastards, here’s the review of my execution torch. Y’all can look up thread for the unboxing.
For the numbers, it weighs in at less than a McD’s quarter pounder.

And is slightly longer than a dollar bill. Actually, it’s about the perfect length for a handheld flashlight.

To charge it, you attach the butt of the light to a 110V outlet. This is the most Mickey Mouse shit I’ve ever seen and reminds of being a kid and taking a lamp cord that wasn’t terminated and plugging it in. I truly thought charging it would be the execution part.

As a light, it’s bright AF; but there’s some issues in how it’s operated.
One side of the shaft (cue Beavis and Butthead) is a three position switch. Center is off, forward is light, reverse in the shocker. When in the shocker position, it doesn’t actually shock unless you depress a small momentary switch on the opposite side of the shaft, so that you don’t have a constant shock. Except there’s also a manual on/off switch on the butt for shocking.
Yes, I actually said that. You have to turn the butt on for the shocker to work. Amazingly like real life, so I’ve been told.
So, in review, it’s light on or shock, with the shocker being activated by a second switch. That part is pretty intuitive, believe it or not.
As for the meat grinding face shocker, well; I’m. It impressed. The only parts of the light head that could be useful for the tactic described are the points of the shocker.

The rest of the leads are level with, or embedded below the plastic head of the light.
As for whether or not it’ll shock the f*ck out of someone, I haven’t tried that yet. I’ll bring it for the spring reunion and we can try it out there, if anybody is willing. It does sound scary though.
So, in short, for a total of free + $9.97, you get a bright, rechargeable light that’s pretty lightweight to carry around and may possibly not kill you when you go to charge it. Beyond that, YMMV.
