I be take part in a filmmaking seminar in Maine , and everyone have two tool : a Mini Maglite and a  Leatherman  they all wear they on they belt , and they come in handy on numerous occasion . of course I pick one up and I love the little holster that come with it . if it do not look dorky I would probably wear this and a multi-tool all the time . it be not just good for night use . change a fuse , adjust equipment , find something under the desk . for those kind of everyday , all-the-time use , the Mini mag be much more handy and useful than the larger  maglite  highly recommend for its simplicity , utility , and durability .
