anyone got a decent alternative to the tufty torch that actually does the same job, I'm far from tight but 55 quid for the bank life one seems steep.

does it work at range?? is it effective?

Andy just taken a deep breath and buy one, they're unbelievably effective.
I'd held off for ages, but the little buggers were driving me insane, so I bit the bullet and bought one. Every single tuftie has left the pool and not returned and I haven't even got to turn the torch on

Mate, I tried a bunch of others and the tufty torch really does the job. So glad I bought it.

Yes m8 its unreal clears them at over hundred yards easy. Only works on them swans and other birds ignore it. But tufted ducks it clears the lot.

I think what the OP is after. Is there a cheaper alternative out there? It looks like a generic torch of the likes of Amazon. Is it really any diffrent to those?

for me if its cheaper it has to as effective, I'd rather buy the expensive one than 2 cheaper that don't work

The Carp Life Tutfty torch is as bright again as the cheaper ones on Ebay. I know as I have both.

In reply to Post #8
My experience is that the Carp Life torch is twice as bright.

In reply to Post #7
Does it work in bright conditions? Or only dusk or night time?

In reply to Post #10
I tried cheaper options from ebay/amazon. And tried green and red ones. The carp life one worked way better.

It does work daytime but I don't think it's as effective if the light levels aren't low.

The carp life torch can't be charged directly in the torch body, do we have to take the battery out to charge it elsewhere?
