Amazon.com Product Description
Bright lights, burly cases, fail-safe on/off switches, virtual indestructibility: there are good reasons to rave about Mag Instrument flashlights. Powered by 3 D-cell batteries, the bright, powerful light adjusts from spot to flood simply by rotating the head. The light is housed in a case made of high-strength aluminum alloy that has been anodized inside and out. This, along with high-quality O-rings at both openings, give you water- and shock-resistance in a lightweight package. Maglite's switches are rubber-coated, weather-protected, and self-cleaning-they're virtually indestructible. In short, this flashlight is almost indestructible-a good quality when it comes to the tools re rely on to help you find your way in the dark. Limited lifetime warranty. Requires 3 D-cell batteries (not included). Includes spare bulb (stored in end-cap). If you want the same design in a smaller package or if you want more run-time than 3 D-cells will give you, see Mag Instrument products #S2D016 and #S4D016.--Josh Dettweiler

Amazon.com Review
Unless you've been hiding in the dark for the last 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 most homeowners 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-Lite 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

Needs quality control
Light wont stay on . After filing and sanding all contact areas it improved a little . I still have to bang it to stay on . very disapointed . Flashlights from a Dollar Store are better .

A solid reliable flashlight that will not break
I've had one of these rolling around under the back seat storage area of my Dodge Off Road Edition 4X4 for the past 5 years, and it works great. I think I might have changed the batteries in it once or twice, and it gets used pretty often. I also use a large Spot light for spotting things in the dark while driving off road. But This 3 D cell flashlight works great when we get out of the truck at night, or or when setting up a camp or walking down a trail. Some of the "roads" I've driven would have taken out an average flashlight, and though the paint has been scraped off here and there, it still works great.

At home we have one near the front door and if we hear something outside this thing has enough power to spot anything you point it at.

I know everyone is into LED now, but as I've said I this thing is well built and puts out enough light to do the job.

Perfect Replacement for the Old Maglite
Having lost my old standby 3-cell Maglite after about twenty years of reliable service, I replaced it with a new one without shopping around for a newer product. While it is possible that someone may improve on this model, or perhaps has done so, I am confident that this new one will not fail either, and can't ask any more for the price.
