I love it and fail to see why I would spend more.

Yes the batteries last forever and I had to buy a second one only because I left it somewhere.

I bought one online last night Condo...along with the Nickel Chromium Batteries, and Charger...will see how it works...I'm not very enthused with the Stinger either.

Best for the money I have found after using them so many years.
Never tried any off the internet though as it is risky unless your buddy has one.

For me it is about long lasting , durable, and bright.

Going around changing bulbs sounds like it is time consuming.

Not all of us are so organised that we carry spare bulbs for a flashlight everywhere we go.

Most modern flashlights, such as the Mag-light, have a place for a spare in the bottom cap. Am never without a spare.

Also, a flashlight is one of many tools of our trade. Carry a spare in your tool kit.

Get with the program dude!!!

Hey get the Ray o Vac and save a few bucks dude.
No need to change batteries and bulbs all the time and you can take your lady for a nice dinner plus have some left over to to go to a show.

We will see what Dale thinks when it arrives.

I have:

2 Stinger's, use all time (1 over 3 years, never changed bulb yet, not yet replaced batteries)
1 Mag, use occasionally (over 5 years, changed bulb once)
1 LED, use very rarely

I will keep your recomendation in mind for future needs.

They are quite heavy....

I have two Ultra Stinger flashlights. The first was purchased almost six years ago and the rubber button is split open making it difficult to turn the light off and on. The second once has the NACHI logo and was purchased here at a great price.

Vince, send it to the factory. Over the years, they fixed several of mine up real nice, gratis.

Just small and easy to lose.
I personally could care less what flashlight anyone uses , but hate to see money wasted.

I have lost more flashlights than any other tool over the years.

Must admit it is silly to argue flashlights

Somewhere you must have a plastic 35mm film container. Perfect for this use.

Wasting money would be replacing flashlights that still operate.

What do you expect, buying all that "gimmicky" stuff?

No, it's not, dang-nab-it!!!

Those 3 light testers are going to catch up fast as I lost 3 or 4 of them last year.
