Maglite Heavy-Duty Incandescent 2-Cell D Flashlight, Black

Great flashlight. Bright light, sturdy.

As advertised.

Probably the last flashlight I will buy. It’s pricey but have a 3 battery that is nearly 15 and it works great.

Heavy Duty, and casts a great strong beam of light that you can adjust. VERY easy to use and very easy to change batteries

It's a Maglite, I'm sure it will be great. However the description for 3-Cell D Flashlight in Display Box, Blue -S3D115 said it included 3 batteries, and it didn't.

2D purple maglite bought as a gift for my girlfriend she loves it.

Best flashlight to buy

I once went on a camping trip we're a friend of mine had one of these flashlights and it was so big that he used it over his shoulder. His light was going long after the rest of us were carrying dead flashlights.This flashlight goes for $50 now, which is entirely too much, but when I bought it it was significantly less. I got the one that had extra batteries because I wanted to be able to rely on it. When I bought it I bought the special mounting clips and I mounted it under my staircase so that it would be really easy to find in the event of a power outage. Once the power outage finally came, the light wouldn't turn on despite the fact that the batteries within it were brand new.I bought this model because it looked like it would double as a club or a hammer if I needed it, and it looked like it should last forever. It also has a ren tear warranty, but do not be fooled, they won't cover anything.I'm not an expert in electrical items, but I didn't think that I had to be to own something basically like a flashlight. I had a game boy that had batteries in it for 10 years, and it loaded up and played pokémon right away, but there's something that batteries do inside aluminum casing called gasing. Had to look this up on the internet, because it turns out that this is a problem that people have with these flashlights, and I just wasn't aware of it. So needless to say, I have never actually used this flashlight because at the time that I depended upon it it failed. It was past the time where Amazon would even acknowledge my problem, and the maglite company wouldn't honor the warranty because they're maintaining that it's the batteries that failed and not the flashlight, but it's also my understanding that the battery is react with the aluminum, and it was the flashlight itself that caused the batteries to damage the flashlight.Couple of the YouTube videos say that the way to get around this problem is to every 3 weeks take all of the batteries out of the flashlight and let it breathe, so if you're in the market for a new pet this flashlight may be for you.Apparently once these batteries degas, they will cause a corrosive reaction that freezes the batteries in place. At the time that I got this, I got a second smaller light to keep in my truck, and that one leaked so badly that it ate through the casing. I am trying to repair this on my own, because again, Amazon won't stand behind their product and neither will the company that manufactured it. To some extent this is operator error, but to another extent, this is a known problem that you as a consumer may not know and will magically be expected to know despite the fact that nobody official will tell you anything about it at the time of purchase or even afterwards.My model had an incandescent light, so for $25 I would just get like 25 of those super bright LED tactical lights that will clip onto your hat. They run off of AA battery, so you'll pay less for light get brighter light, and spend less on batteries. I bought a nice set of aluminum flashlights with clips about 3 years ago. They still have the same double a battery inside them, and they never cause the battery within to explode and they're all ticking along like a dream.If any company involved in this wants to make it right, I'd be happy to take this review down, but in the meantime I do think that people should learn from my suffering. If you know what you're getting into, this is probably a good purchase. Again, the flashlight is dirty, and underneath all of this battery acid it's entirely possible the light works underneath all of this corrosion. I can also tell you that both ends of the flashlight come apart, but there's a retaining clip that I can't figure out how to remove so I can't pound at it from the opposite end, and there's a switch mechanism that requires a special type of tool which is not a hex tool that normal people have or a screwdriver that normal people have. Repairing this on my own might be easier if I had access to weird machinist tools, but I'm just a guy who wanted a flashlight in the case of a power outage. I spent entirely too much money to not solve that problem.
