'Bombproof torch, that lasts a lifetime'

Strengths:
Pretty much everything. The power, the strecgth, the longevity, the longevity of the batteries is surprising also. Importantly, the simplicity.

Weaknesses:
Little pricey, but then it'll last long enough. Any spares needed, not available in the UK, have to be sent for, from the USA

Overall:
Can't be bettered. With this in your hand, you can see your way, and know that even if your attacked, you can defend yourself, and the torch won't show any signs of it. It really is "a work of art, that works".

'AS ABOVE REALLY'

Strengths:
Solid as a rock, excellent lighting, adjustable beam very useful, if you need to find out what that noise is in the garage is at 3am take one of these cos the lights excellent and it could be used for self defence! Batteries last ages.

Weaknesses:
It is heavy, but that is also an advantage in a way!!
A little expensive.

Overall:
The best torch money can buy... it will not ley tou down.

'GOOD FOR WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A BASEBALL BAT HANDY'

Strengths:
Simple-easy to operate button
Sturdy-unlikely to break
Good for self-defence-use when scared that a burglar is getting into your home (no kidding, it's the first thing we grab-that handle is beefy)

Weaknesses:
HEAVY-REALLY REALLY HEAVY-does it really have to weigh this much? Can be cumbersome to carry
I don't think it gives off that much light for it's size
Expensive

Overall:
We bought it because we belived Maglite torches were of good quality and we needed a torch in NZ and all they seemed to sell was Maglites. Got it cheap (£15). In retrospect I think I'll keep it for looking at things in the garden or for if I break down in the car

'A SUPERB PIECE OF KIT'

Strengths:
Robust enough to last a life time. Indeed it is a lifesaver. I used it to extract myself off Scafell Pike in darkness and poor visibility. The alternative was an unscheduled overnight stay in horrendous conditions on the mountain. The ability to widen and extend the beam is invaluable- I would not be without it on any future trips.

Weaknesses:
If this torch has a weakness it is probably the weight. It is quite heavy and I initially wondered whether it was worth taking on trips. However following my experiences it is still one of the first pieces of kit in my bag.

Overall:
First class, I'm deciding whether to get a smaller 2D version.

'THE BEAST'

Strengths:
Strength
Power
The batterise suprisingly last a very long time
It can still blind my little brother in daylight.

Weaknesses:
Weight
This is not a backpacking torch

Overall:
I got mine for £18 in Holland so I cant complain about the price but on the other hand you pay for quality and this is it
