What can you say about a MagLite, they're almost indestructable, very reliable and come with a spare lamp in the back. You are far more likely to have yours stolen or lost than to break it. Heck, you could probably even open coconuts with it!

I won't use any flashlight other than MagLite; I don't know a Paramedic or Sheriff Officer who carries anything else! The power of the beam, and the ability to focus it is invaluable. Also, my maglite is indestructable- I've dropped in ditches, on the concrete, in the toilet :), and had just about anything you can imagine spilled or splattered on it, and it always turns on. I have this (featured) 2 D-cell in black, and a 2 AA-cell in red that I carry on my belt, plus my ambulance has 2 of the big 4 cell MagLites on it at all times. MagLite is the best in performance, design, and durablity that I have found- and think about it: LIVES depend on me having a flashlight that works!

Agree with all the comments on durability. Also, buyers should note, that the company believes enough in its products to offer warrantee, replace parts, etc. This isn't meant to be disposable. They are also smart enough to have made it in multiple colors. Though it is tempting to go for the flat black, having a reflective, bright color helps you find this one in the back seat, tool case a lot faster. Also, this is good gift for the friends, family, business associates. No one was unhappy to receive one of these.

Hey all you people out there that are looking for a great, useful, and durable flashlight!

I own four of these 2 D-Cell mag lights. There's one in each of my cars, and one on each floor of my home.

They are bright, focusable, and it always turns on without fail. No more shaking your flashlight to keep it lit! It's well weighted, so you won't get tired by carrying it, and dropping it won't break the lens or the case.

We also purchased an orange plastic cone that attaches to the front like many police officers have for directing traffic, which makes this flashlight perfect for walking at dusk or at night.

Highly recommended!

This is Maglite - the most robust, simply designed, durable flashlight ever. All except the tiniest maglites share a number of common features: super-bright bulbs, waterproof seals, a twistable head which adjusts the spread of the beam from spot to flood, and a spare bulb in a padded compartment in the base. This is the 2D-cell version, portable but still satisfyingly solid in feel. Larger versions take 3, 4 or even 6 D-cells.

Need a flashlight? Contemplating whether to buy the El Cheapo plastic flashlight, or the Mag? Get the Mag if you can afford it. After all, you get what you pay for, and with the Mag, you get the embodyment of flashlight perfection.

Just the weight of the Mag with batteries in it gives me a sense of satisfaction (for some reason). It is a heft bugger, but that's why it's so durable. The light is also crisp and powerful.

Need I say more?

I carry one of these in each of my vehicles. The high-intensity adjustable beam is perfect for changing a flat at night, finding your way up a dark driveway, locating a house number, or even flagging down a passing car. I am always finding another use for it, and the slim barrel makes it especially easy to use. Also, the light will stand on end when you needs hands-free illumination. It's extremely dependable, and doesn't suck down the batteries like cheaper lights.

The construction of MagLite flashlights is great. However, if you really need some "juice", get yourself a rechargable version. They are a lot more pricey (around $100), but if you really need a flashlight for work -- it is well worth it. Many police officers (like myself) use rechargable MagLites. They typically hold a charge throughout an 8 hour shift and are a LOT brighter. They are rugged and reliable -- the D-cell type make good "back-up" lights though.

It's a little heavy with the batteries but I love this flashlight. It is bright and easy to use. Plus-my cat loves to chase the light across the floor; every time he hears it click on-he's right there!
