Amazon.com Review
Unless you've been hiding for the past few decades, you're sure to recognize this classic from Mag Instrument. The solid dependability of Mag flashlights is hard to top, which explains why the brand is so popular with police officers, security guards, and other people who can't afford to be left in the dark. This three-D-cell model is great for home use and an essential part of any home emergency kit. It shines as bright as anyone could ask for, and a simple twist of the head changes the beam from a spot to a luminous floodlight. Having a Mag flashlight on hand can keep an inconvenience, like a November blackout, from becoming a small disaster. It is also a great light for illuminating the woods and keeping the bears at bay on summer camping trips. The weighty feel of a Mag flashlight also offers a sense of security in the dark that other flashlights just don't have, enough to give you the confidence to confront any basement bogeyman or mountain monster. --Brian Trinen

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the Flashlight you need, August 7, 2000

By	Bibliophile - See all my reviews

I have three of these flashlights and they are fantastic. I keep one in the garage (see accessory section for mounting bracket), one on the fireplace mantle, and one in my car. They all work perfectly, project a bright, adjustable beam, and feel great in your hand. Not only does it work in normal conditions, but the gaskets and buttons do a great job keeping water out - I live in the Pacific Northwest and use it in the rain frequently with no problems.

This is the same model that many of our local law enforcement types use day-in / day-out. I'd image that may a miscreant has received a "bop" on the head with one of these babies and will think twice before resuming their layabout ways.

Get one of these with three fresh Duracell's and you're set. This flashlight will last you a lifetime!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST FLASHLIGHT OUT THERE!, May 24, 2005

By	Eddie Lancekick "A Regulator" (Pacific Northwest) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

In my opinion...this thing is the best. Is sturdy, heavy duty, can shine FOREVER down the dark forest path. It's rugged so you don't have to worry about it if it's bouncing around in a tool-box or dropping off the counter and hitting the kitchen floor.

I know people that have owned these for years. There is a reason why you get what you pay for, and a reason why you get your monies worth with these. They are good, solid, dependable, rugged flashlights that hold up to life's everyday uses. And as mentioned before, they shine very bright and far, not dim to a pinpoint like some big flashlights out there. I highly recommend it for yourself or for a gift for someone who could use it! Have one in your car, house, garage, shed, trailer, and travel kit. They come in handy, and for certain situations like being broke down, searching for something, or a power outage in your area, you want the best available!

1.0 out of 5 stars Old flashlight, July 14, 2003

By	Steve M Lebkuecher (Antioch, TN United States) - See all my reviews

This was a great light back in the 80s but today they just don't stack up to Streamlight and Surefire. If you want a light that's bright, lightweight and white light (Not that old incandescent yellow) your best bet is to check out other options. You may pay more for other options but you will have a light that is 1/4 the weight and twice as bright.
