I currently own two of these little lifesaver ; one in the car and one at home , and for the size and money I honestly do not think you can find something better . First let 's talk about the size : at only 5 and 3\/4 inch it be perfect for a car glove compartment , center console , or even in the visor if you car have a pouch for sunglass or other article . for at home it be equally convenient : store it in a kitchen drawer , night stand or any other place you can keep something the size of a large tip marker . feature wise the Mini mag have a spare lamp in the tail cap , can change from spot to flood light with a twist , and can operate in candle mode . . mean you simply keep turn the light cover until it come off , and then place it on the other end so it act like a base . this be a great idea , and allow you to keep you hand free if the situation arise . one other thing I want to point out be to correct the person who state you must use two hand to use this light . I have the flash light before I as I be write this , and I can state for a fact that it can easily be turn on or off with one hand . if you have enough strength to adjust the volume on a stereo , you can turn the Mini mag through it be full range of flood to spot and then off . Quality of the Mini mag be also top notch . one reviewer state he break from a two foot fall on carpet . sorry , but I either do not believe that or simply you Mini mag be defective . I have drop the one I keep in my car at least 5 time . . on concrete ! and it still work as well as the first day i buy it . I know friend who have ding and dent on they Mini mag , yet this little light continue to shine . can you find a better flashlight in this size ? I be sure you could . but for 10.00 ? nope . in my opinion nothing else even come close .
