How to change or install batteries on the Streamlight TLR-1

Great tutorial video

Thanks!

Awesome thanks 👍🏼

I got one at the pawn shop 35$ put the door

Thank you!!!!!!

I need to go jerk off in frustration now that I figured out how to open this thing.

You video sure helped me, thanks!

Thanks for the video, I would have definitely broke this light without this instruction.

THANK YOU…. I WOULD HAVE RIPPED THIS THING OPEN😥😥😥😥😥

You are the man! Thanks

Screwed with it for 10 minutes – directions were worthless – watched the video and SUCCESS. Thanks very much for taking the time to post this.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who was confused as heck haha

Got it used, went to a gun shop and they said dismantle the hex screw and a bunch of other stuff. Glad I came here before field stripping it in a million pieces for batteries.

Thanks much for a very helpful video, and streamlight people, if you read this, shame on you for making such shitty vague instructions on how to open such a tricky mechanism. Pretty sad that you have to go find a third party to tell you how to open this thing up…glad I found this video.

Thanks

Thanks brotha

Great video, thanks for posting it!

thank you, you saved my life. manual does not help. your video does.

Thanks brother! Was getting very irritated and the instructions were not clear. Two thumbs up for saving me more irritation a possibly a hole in my wall from throwing it lol

Thanks I'm not to read directions either. Pretty small writing too.. I've read reviews people complaint the hatch is cheap. They must've forced it trying to open it. Thanks again.

OMG thank you so much!

Thank you! I was pulling away instead of pushing up

Read the book, but still felt like it was going to break. I don't think they ever noted to 'push up'.

Anyway, thanks for the video!

I even read the directions and was struggling… Afraid I was going to break it (which I think I was about to). Thank you for posting this video… Simple once you know

I was afraid to break it and I stop after unlocking the latch, saw the video and I was relieved, appreciated

THANK YOU!!! Been struggling with trying to figure out how to open the battery chamber on my TLR-2 HLG… The pictogram was not clear that the metal piece should be lifted and pushed back…they need two arrows – one for lift up and one for pushing metal piece back to open the battery chamber. I was getting to the point of maybe sending back – but it seems so valuable for my Mossberg 500 tactical home defense shotgun. Thank you so much for thinking of us fellow travelers…

Thank You!!!!!

I've learned that instead of struggling to figure things like this out; just Google a video. Thank-you for taking the time to help us idiots who can't figure out written instructions!

Thank you, your the man!

Awesome, got it now. Thanks.

Bro!! You help me from my big hands breaking it. Instructions where very vague. Thank you and God bless ylu

thanks. i read the instructions and still thought I was breaking it. good job!

Thank you sir!

Thumbs Up!

Thanks man. Just proves you're not the only one stuck on a simple task lol. Not all heroes wear capes.

thank you 😩

very helpful, thank you

thank you.perfect. gold.

thank you so much for this video what have never guessed that

Nice video…clear, quick and concise.

sometimes simple things can be quite complicated . Thank you very much

best youtube video. easy and straightforward.

I spent 4 hours trying to figure out how to open this thing after reading the instructions in 2 languages. The manual NEVER stated that there is a HOOK in the bottom and that you needed to lift UP – the manual says to SWING and they INCORRECTLY show that it swings to the RIGHT. I was so frustrated, I was about to throw this thing in the trash can and get a refund. THANK YOU. The manufacturer ought to be ASHAMED of themselves for not explaining this. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for posting this. Can you teach the manufacturer how to PUT this on their Web Site and correct their manual? OMG! Thank you!

Thank you!!!!! Thank you!!!!! I felt stupid but now I'm relieved!!

Thank you! The directions that come with the light suck. Your video rocks!

thanks bud!, bought a xd with a tlr-1 on it. first thing I did was Google search and your vid popped up first!

Awesome

Thank you! The directions are vague as fuck
