Buying used flasher

[lungdeflator]

If you had to buy a used flasher which one would it be? Is there a classic Vexilar model that just seems to withstand the tests of time?

My FL8 has taken a beating over the past 10 years and still works great. I have a Marcum that treat a little better that's worked just fine too. Most flashers are built well. I can't think of any that I would stay away from. I would look more into the features that you want over durability.

If you like the flasher type than I would suggest a LX-5. If you want to get into the new age get a 7 or 9.

My old Vex FL-18 does the job great, easy on batteries and just wouldn't die!

FL-18 hard to beat. If you are looking for a used FL-20 or FLX-28 you know who to PM

I like my LX5 (2 of them) but also really liked using an FL-18 when they first came out. Have had good luck with FL20 as well. Was going to trade up to LX6 or LX7 but them realized my LX5's were still doing the job perfectly, so I am waiting... not sure for what

Only one I would not get is FL8, due to potential for interference with other units - sometimes they can clear it out, but usually they get turned off... unfortunately.

Nothing wrong with a fl-18 have had for years with an issue

My FL 8 was 17 years old and was still going until great until I fell on it and smashed into many pieces. That said it has been dropped down 2 sets of stairs and fell of the tailgate many times. I would buy any vexilar fl 8 or 18 with out a second thought. I got refurbished Fl 8 to replace it.

Wow, ouch monster. I know they can handle a lot but you should be a product tester for Vex!

the blue box, fl8 had definitely withstood the test of time. GREAT unit!

Lots of people getting the latest greatest flasher means lots of cheaper older units getting sold. Got a like new FL8se for my youngest boy for a couple hundo 2 winters ago, during the season. Now is probably the best time to buy an ice machine.

Sometimes have to play with the IR but my 8,18,and 20 all get along in my clam command post.
