When you buy other like-priced mods, you'll know what I mean.

3mm thick 6061 aircraft aluminum of the SB with a vented, 'sure-touch' switch. All stainless steel construction and perfect brushed finish on the Protege, and so on are available if you look around.

While the Chucks do have the option of paint jobs and decals for personalization, they lack the aesthetic appeal and fit/finish of other mods available. But they work, and work well, and they offer an out of the box approach to personalization.
I don't want to get in a pissing match or anything, but honestly, you could probably pound on the Chuck with a Silver Bullet and not put even a slight dent in the Chuck.

If you drop the Chuck on a tile floor, you'll break the tile.

If you drop the Chuck on a tile floor, you'll break the switch just like Zofryer did.

I've dropped it numerous times on my tile floor.... it's still vaping.

Are you saying nobody has ever killed a switch on other mods by doing stupid crap with it? I find that hard to believe.

I beat a hobo to death with my Chuck.

Still works. Plus, you can't clean hobo blood off of a perfect brushed finish. That stuff stains.

If it were any other person, I would call BS... but you've killed many things with your Chuck. I was afraid when Jeff let you get another one.

To be fair, I don't have anything against any other mods out there. I'd have at least one of each if I had that kind of disposable cash and if my wife would let me. :D

I just happen to own a Chuck and love it. I like my Bartleby a lot (though I would be afraid to drop it!), and I'm thinking about getting a Copper next. I do have plans to get a Little Chuck, too.

Mod choice seems to be subjective, everyone seems to have one they think is BETTER! Thanks to all the posts on mods I've researched... I have chosen the Chuck (can't WAIT til it gets here just ask Jeff!). Long battery life, simple design, choices w/colors and graphics, sturdiness and maintenance won me over. The copper looks cool, but I heard it makes your hands smell like brass & has to be polished often. Same with the SB, lovely shiny thing, sort of fat, has to be polished (fingerprinty) and threads lubricated to avoid seizing. Others look cool and have their fans but again, looking for option to have longest battery life...Yeah, with more disposable income I would love to collect them all just for different circumstances (and just to have more cool stuff!) ...I'm thinking to just collect a couple Chucks and little Chucks in different colors/graphics!

If you want better quality, and a smaller size... you have other options my friend.

If you're doing 3.7, and want small.. get a Protege, GG-Slim, or the new Super T that David is making. All will be much smaller, easier to carry, switches that don't protrude from the body and be of higher quality materials at the same or lower price.
this was a Chuck vs SB comparsion thread!!!! SPAM!!!!!!:evil: GET A CHUCK MY FRIEND!

Just curious, how long does the battery life last on the Chuck vs the SB??

From another thread, apparently it is similar; i think they both fit the same battery, so there should be very little difference.

The only thing I can think of is that they are made of different materials, (copper vs. aluminum) and different conductivities.
