Easy to install, flashlight renewed

Bought this to complete my cheap second hand rebuild.I recommend

Came as described, fit and works as it is supposed to.

worked as is should

It's an OEM part so no complaints about quality. The gripsleeve on my extremely old Polystinger disintegrated over time with exposure to extreme temperature conditions. I easily peeled it off prior to applying this new one. My experience installing it was as follows. Do not disassemble flashlight if your installing on Polystinger as per their included instructions. First clean the body to get the dirt and grit off. Then lube the sleeve real good with soapy water to keep it slippery on the inside. Also put a light coat on the flashlight body as well. I made the mistake of warming up the sleeve to much which made it more difficult to insert because it was too soft. It needs to remain slightly ridgid to insert the streamlight shaft inside. Leaving the flashlight endcap on and holding sleeve by its end, start turning the sleeve clockwise until you can get it to completely grab on the endcap. Lube base and inside sleeve again if it goes dry. Then use a towel to grip around sleeve and begin turning it in clockwise until it is seated at top groove. You can leave the excess length of sleeve on at the end as I chose {pictured} or easily trim to fit with a knife or razor. Dry it off and the Stinger is ready to pierce the darkness once again.

Good OEM part. You will need lube (i used cooking spray (pam)) to get the boot onto the flashlight - it is a really tight fit-which is good. Installed on a Daily use for the last 10 years Stinger.

This sleeve is an original replacement. I read other reviews that have different method of installing the sleeve but none worked for me. So out of frustration, I had an idea. Insert the sleeve in boiling water and submerge it entirely for 5 to 10 minutes to soften it. While you wait for it to heat up and soften, lube the flashlight tube with soapy water and pure dishwashing soap immediately before installing it. If you don't, it'll dry up on the metal. Take out the sleeve from the water, and squeeze it from the middle as you insert the flashlight. It should stretch easier and slide better. Lube the metal as needed as you push the sleeve in untill installed completly. Dry the excess water and soap and done! I hope this helps.

This is a Streamlight brand replacement. I had my flashlight sleeve corrode and crumble on my Stinger XT and ended up peeling it completely off. Couldn’t find this before so tried to fix it with some heat shrink tubing. That half way worked but did not come out that great. I wasn’t happy with it and then I saw this on Amazon. This is a perfect replacement. Just used some dishwashing soap to help slide it on. Once it’s on then make sure all caps are replaced and and you can rinse it with water to get rid of any residue since the flashlight is water proof. My flash light looks great again and is almost like new aside from minor scratches on the metal parts. I highly recommend it if you need to replace the sleeve on your flashlight.
