    Cons:
    For US customers, this 16340 battery is an odd ball... but it recharges fast and the charger is only $6 on DX.

    Great quality product

    posted by AStrommen on 02/14/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

    Pros:
    Feels sturdy and solid, and has a bright white light. Better light that i would have expected from such a small flashlight. The 90 degree angle and the clip on the back makes it appliclable everywhere around the house, as well as in the garage or workshop.
    Cons:
    Not really a con; green button feels a bit less sturdy than the rest of the flashlight.
