the flashlight be very handy and utilitarian . I like the reliability . it be tough , water resistant , etc. . I must have drop it several time on a concrete and no problem whatsoever . it be bright for the size , especially in total darkness and you can adjust the beam . nice feature and so be the candle mode . now , here be one problem that I have with it . I I usually carry this flashlight on my belt -lrb- under my clothes -rrb- in the nylon sheath it come with . many , many time the head twist make the light come on . it be after a few hour that I notice . it be a waste of battery . the head should not twist so easily as it do . if you do not plan on carry it in the sheath then this should not be a issue , still maglite should solve this problem . other than that , this flashlight be excellent and the quality and material be superb and it be make in usa . for the price , it be worth every penny .
