MAGLITE S6D016 Heavy-Duty 6-D Cell Flashlight, Black

To keep it working well you should occasionally apply a small amount of Vaseline to the threads to keep the threads and O-rings lubricated. If you do this it should last you a long time.

You could use this thing as a baseball bat and it would still shine bright and strong EVERYTIME. Hands down the best flashlite, period.


Best Lite Yet   September 25, 2001

I bought this 6-cell MagLite for my boyfriend as a gift. He now keeps it next to him all day. This is the brightest and 'badest' light out there. We also own two 4-cell MagLites, but this is by far the best value. I recommend it to anyone for the indoors or outdoor activities.

I had purchased this Maglite originally for my sister. She bought a house in the bay area, and so I thought a great housewarming gift would be a 6D Maglite. She lives by herself, has no pets, and I figured she could use an excellent flashlight. I'm not saying she can not defend for herself, I'm just saying that everyone, no matter if you're living in an apartment or house, should have at least one 6D Maglite. However, she sees the size of this thing, and rejects my gift. She told me she'd throw it away, so I said I would take it. I gave her my 2D Maglite in place of the 6D and now I have one of these bats and my sister has a smaller version. Did I mention the size of this flashlight?

I just went camping to Yosemite for a week, and let me tell you, this flashlight was great. You can take off the head of the flashlight, and it becomes a lantern. It lights up any tent or campground. My buddies were impressed with how durable and reliable the Maglite. Overall, I would recommend this product to anybody. Even police officers tell people to get this flashlight. So when you have law enforcement officers referring individuals to this product, then you know it has to be an effective item.

No matter what size flashlight you prefer to carry or keep in your home/car, BUY A MAGLITE. They come in all sizes, and for a few dollars more, you are getting a flashlight that will survive anything and work when you need it. Trust me, you will make your money back in the long run. I only feel cheated because all of my maglites will outlast my lifetime. I'm going to have to leave them to someone in my will.
