A really good flashlight for the price. It is as bright or brighter than a 3 D cell Mag Light (using the "old" technology). It is compact enough to make it easy to hold and handy for carrying in a glove box or tool box, although it is a little heavy for a 3 AAA cell flashlight. I guess that's because of it's durability...it does seem to be "bombproof". The only other drawbacks I've encountered is that the button on the back requires a thumb or firm push from your finger to turn on (it is slightly recessed). On the plus side, that should also minimize accidentally turning it on in storage. Also, it comes on at full brightness requiring a second push for the lower setting meaning three pushes to turn on and off. A small annoyance barely worth mentioning. I would recommend this light to anyone wanting a bright, durable, compact and economical flashlight and would purchase it again. (I actually bought two - one for my car and one I keep at work for working on a press.)
