MagLite - ST3D016 Maglite LED 3-Cell D Flashlight, Black

I purchased this MagLite to keep in my vehicle (a Toyota FJ Cruiser) to have in case of emergencies. It is sturdy, dependable, and thanks to the mounting brackets (which I also purchased on Amazon) it is securely mounted to my center console. The 3-D cell is more maneuverable and easier to store than the longer 4-D cell. It is still long enough and heavy enough to use as a self-defense tool as well. The light is bright enough for any roadside need, including minor repairs, changing a tire, or flagging someone down if you need help. I have not purchased the glass breaker attachment for it, however, because it is already heavy enough to break out a car window in case of an emergency. The 3-D light is the perfect size and weight to keep in a vehicle or junk drawer in case of an emergency.

Excellent build quality. Solid. Easy to use. Bright and wide light. Use it often for DIY projects and its part of my emergency kit.

Ok only flashlight I’ve bought from amazon that doesn’t come ready to use! Thanks for no batteries .

Great flashlight and for a good price.

Bright and quality construction. Great for everyday use. I keep it in my vehicle.

My dad had one of these. He insisted it is also great for self defense. I have 3. One in the bedroom, one in the car, one in the kitchen. I just bought one for my sons car. They are great, never tested the waterproofness though.

These new LED Mag lights are great !!!!!! But I also tried the up-grade bulb units. Forget the up-grades ! they dont even come close to these, and are a waste of money. Buy these New LED lights and use your old ones elsewhere, or give them away. These are so good that I ordered a second one soon after getting the first one. Flashlights will never be the same as we remember, and thats a good thing. I will never buy a Non-LED light again.

Very nice

This is a solid, well built flashlight. The led bulb is bright, and should provide good battery life The light beam is adjustable; it can be used as a very long range spot light, or a much wider floodlight. Cant comment about water resistance. I use rechargeable NiMh batteries. I purchased AA to D cell battery adapters from Amazon. Three AA batteries will make up a D cell. I use rechargeable batteries since these type of batteries do not leak, and I always have spare cells in the battery charger. I have had too many flashlights destroyed by leaking alkaline batteries.

The 3 D cell MagLite LED flashlight is brighter, heavier, and much more durable than anything made in the far east. None of the myriad of Taiwan, Chinese or Korean LED flashlights can compare with the Mag Lite. You could buy 5 or 6 of the imports for the price of a MagLite, but you will have thrown ALL of those away after they broke or stopped working vs 1 Maglite still going strong.
