And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Ooh, I like that. Very useful size. In the cart is goes!
These are great, in the led version. Do not use Duracell AAA's in these. The Duracell AAA's always, yes always leak. I've had to toss 3 of them because the swelled up Duracell AAA's cannot be removed. (I'm a slow learner.) Energizer AAA's do not seem to have this problem. I was a 35 year Duracell guy until their batteries all started leaking. The straw was a small Nikon flash unit (SB300) that had the AAA's leak. $125 down the drain.
Concur on the Duracell brand. Lost one of my mini-lites that way. Plenty of YouTube videos about this. Another alternative, especially for bulk purchase, is Costco's Kirkland store brand. Costco maintains a high standard for their store brand merchandise. Have been running their AAA's, AA's, and D cells for a couple of years now with no leaks.
CW- Next time you place an order get a couple of spare bulbs to stash away. They can be hard to find sometimes.
Those little flashlights are as handy as a pocket on a t-shit. I have two of them within reach right now. And yes, I do believe they are made in the USA. MAGA-LITES!
Try this one. I have used these for 6 years and found them nearly indestructible. Great price too. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Tactical-Flashlight-Rechargeable-Water-Resistant/dp/B01KH2JP5G?crid=O4ID49J4UR9K&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uWm5H-_LUUlzbG3JsoPdC84f-Z8dHB7h3F9tQooaAyTigrW72z-oR6X1v6p35b1dJWXIZgNRf1PsCfOO0UssWHoW6U4HCChtPcM5zl6FppcTTXmMBZ7wOfeLAeLG2lE2joO4eGRDdwlCEsevM110qCkmzvXKxW0JQu0fYUYZUUsLC-MtVXPTKZMIJLcMDE_HUW43sG4nxQGt-g4N2rzvcExI3MhK6HMokiiZQWhEWdXkDOt-80qfcGVywOXjEOz2yzU3lDd5RdB-4chqEvT2WV70stI3VVJhK5Xx1c3Zzf0o4PRyKpA5DokiKxb8VVEv2knMcSowtAqQaikXLUaHwrMXip1uXC6V9MHJWWwptISbdN8Oqt6cv4tAOoke89Tus5YMJ-BrKhvTt6MLS1qoFAjC6WgTUaCOoAmY_vWoPziTjVHGLsOqmb-B9qx9IybW.d79KROxRTISgtIbXWcn92HEWfDt5e6qmOQBX3sa2HEY&dib_tag=se&keywords=anker+flashlight+rechargeable&qid=1737297236&sprefix=anker+fl%2Caps%2C133&sr=8-1
Just ordered two, one for me, one for the DIL.

DeleteI really like the Tractor Supply batteries (JobSmart). I do believe they last just as long as Duracells do.
DeleteBattery hog in incandescent form, but handy to stash around.
ReplyDeleteI like the Candle Mode. Unscrew the Front, turn it upside down and put the Body into it. Self suppporting light.
ReplyDelete--------(gonna check it out)--believe they're still 'Murican made.
