After 2 years of bad abuse, my mini-mag light died last hitch.

Wally-World was out of stock, so I settled for a Brinkman mini-LED flashlight.

This light doesn't "lock" into the "on" position. After 10 days of use;

1) I am having trouble getting it to turn on and stay on.
2) The head has unscrewed and fallen into my Capts chair. (the threads are too loose)
3) The scabbard is too short & too loose to be reliable.

4) The LED light is going easy on the (2) AA size batteries.

I will replace this flashlight w/a mini-mag light when I get back home. This is my personal & professional opinion!

Pick up one of the newer LED Mini-Maglights. They're pretty good lights, I like them much better than the original.
