This review on the Nebo PAL was published a couple of years ago. Thought it would be worth another look……
I got the Nebo Pal in my Christmas stocking and didn’t give it much thought until I got back to South Carolina from Maine and got to really check it out. As I pulled it out of the packaging I thought that this tool could be really useful. It’s a tool that is a knife, a battery pack (with a short cord for charging), and a flashlight all in one.
I usually carry all these items and more separately in a bag that I keep in my vehicle. This compact tool will lighten the load I need to carry as it takes the place of several items. This can easily be something that I could carry in my smaller bag as well.
The Nebo Pal has a 400 lumen light that increases and decreases in intensity as you hold down the power button. This system works really well to get just the brightness you want. Those 400-lumens is plenty bright to pierce the darkness of night and see very far. A quick blink lets you know it is either at its highest or lowest capacity. The 3-inch serrated knife is easy to open and locks open when fully extended. The battery pack charged quickly the first time and I was able to charge my phone from 8% to 41% in about an hour before the blue light that was on during charging started blinking then turned off. At this point, the phone stopped charging but the flashlight still worked. The Nebo itself shows a red flashing light while charging that turned to a solid red light when fully charged. The new model in the link has a green light when charged according to the details listed. Oh….the Nebo also comes with a nice lanyard which could be useful to hang it somewhere out of the way of attaching to a pack.
I love gadgets and this one is great. I highly recommend it.
