Tools and Hardware Reviews of Super-Bright 9 LED Heavy-Duty Compact Aluminum Flashlight - Jet Black
Customer Review: the supplier seems to matter as to what LED you get
Summary: 4 Stars
I happened to order this jet black 9 LED flashlight twice. The first time I ordered from etoolcity and got a very good light for the price. The second time I ordered what I thought was the same light, but the supplier was HottestDealEver and the quality of the light I received is much lower. The two lights look very similar but the first is slightly larger, has much better spring and contact positioning, and is better constructed and seems brighter with the same batteries. The second light from HottestDealEver was very low cost but also much less valuable to me. Since Amazon.com does not seem to have actual part numbers, it is challenging to make sure that varied suppliers listed are actually selling the same item.Customer Review: Good little flashlight for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good flashlight for the price as the title says. How long it will last going to be the real question. I bought this light and a maglight at the same time and the maglight started flickering the first time i used it so i ended up having to use this light instead. It helped me get the job I was doing done so i already like it better than the maglight. If it ends up lasting for some time it'll be a real winner. The color of light it puts out is not as good as the maglight but it is bright and functional. The light his a little bluish or something like that but it provides light and seems to do it reliably. Great light for the price and I recommend buying it at least as a back up if you buy another light.Customer Review: It`s not the size of the prize.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought 8 of these to help out during the coming hurricaine season down here(Florida) and from what I see i think everything is gonna work out fine.Bright light, easy ergonomics and a great feel in your hand(it is only 3 inches long but the circumference is full in your fist and the batteries load like you were filling the chambers of a weapon .)So when the power goes off I believe the light from these little sawed-offs should fill the rooms;yes, the light is that strong.( I would suggest dumping the batteries provided and pick up duracell AAA wholesale.)Either way these flashlights seem like a great bargain for any season.And as tough as nails.(I like the silver gun metal color.It fits)Customer Review: You should just go flush your money down the toilet right now..

You may as well go throw $5 in your trash can right now - and at least save yourself the frustration of finding out for yourself that this flashlight is a total waste of time and money. I have purchased at least three of these from Amazon for kid's birthday's etc. They all have the same problem - they are completely unreliable. I have tried every 'fix' suggested by other users to no avail. If you want a flashlight that goes off and on (mostly off) when you really need it to be available, then this is your flashlight. Otherwise there are better flashlights to be found for under $10. Try the RAYOVAC models - they have been very reliable for the kids.
Customer Review: Surprising Quality For The Price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I did not expect to see the apparent overall quality of this compact flashlight. Have only used it for about a week, but have not had a problem, as others seem to have had with contacts, etc. There are enough "fixes" out there under reviews and comments to be able to repair the light no matter what goes wrong with it. It is perfect for close up work and is super bright. Just don't expect to see a great distance with this light. It has a fairly short range, but remember it is just a small flashlight. From my short experience with it, I would recommend it for limited use. The price is right, too. R.E.W.
