TA8 Lumen Master Flashlight, Sand Blasted Black

Battery barrel to contain the three aaa batteries breaks after a few battery changes, renders it useless (no batteries)

The Flashlight is great. What I did not like is that it does not come with a hand strap. Other TechLites (including a previous TA8 that I purchased, come with a hand strap. Maybe it sounds petty, but it makes a difference to me.

Excellent small flashlight. Extremely bright, with a much bigger, well focused beam than you might expect from such a small device. It stays bright for more than an hour on standard AAA batteries. We liked ours so much that we got five more as stocking stuffers for family members.Edit (1/27/16): I deducted a star, because the switch stopped working, except for the "low" beam setting. I still like the flashlight, but durability might be a problem. Edit: 5/5/16-- It stopped working entirely. Fortunately, we have a backup, so we'll see how long it lasts....

High quality flashlight. Most people who buy flashlights are interested in its illumination potential. Pound for pound, this packs quite a punch. I purchased this for my vehicle to make sure if I am ever stranded I am not stranded in the dark. This is compact enough to never be in the way, but powerful enough that I don't even desire a bigger or more expensive flashlight. It has 3 settings: regular, super-bright, and strobe. The button to turn it on and off is on the bottom. It has a textured grip to prevent slipping from your hand. I could see this being a perfect solution for camping, or kept in a purse for late night walks thru the parking lot, left in the glove box of your car, or in a backpack for survival usage. I looked around, and didn't find a better value than this at the time I purchased it. There is no doubt about it, I would unhesitatingly purchase again.

Took a chance that this would do the trick, but I need a brighter light. My mistake, nothing wrong with the product.

Worked great and I love that it takes regular batteries that I can pick up anywhere.
