Tonight our small, black Yorkshire Terrier ran out the front door as my wife was walking in. It's Christmas night, cold and pitch black outside. Great... the dog usually runs 2 blocks before we see it, and we average about 40 minutes getting it back... in the daylight.

I pull on a coat, and grab 2 nearly identical Maglites from the drawer.

The rechargable MAGCharger RE1019 has a silver band. The other is an old-school Mag with 3 fresh D-cell alkaline batteries. They're about the same size and weight.

I hand one to my wife, turn the other on and start walking. She got the D-cell and can see maybe 50' in front of her.

I bought the RE1019 back in September on Amazon. I'm not sure I've used it before in a situation where I needed to light up our neighborhood, or where I was so keenly aware of the beam's strength and intensity (try finding a small black dog in a residential neighborhood, on Christmas night, with the alternative to not finding the dog being that you must explain to your sobbing children that you couldn't find their dog... you get the idea).

Let me tell you... this is one INCREDIBLY BRIGHT light. It throws a beam a city block. Literally. I was lighting up driveways 5 houses away. Same weight as a 3 D-cell, same size, but the difference in the beam strength and intensity is AMAZING.

I love MAG lites. Always have. I carried one when I worked security in college 25 years ago, and have owned many since then. This is the brightest and best I've ever owned. The rechargeable feature is great.

I'm buying another one and giving the old 3 D-cell away. Maybe I'll buy 2 more.

I have owned the classic MAG rechargable flashlight since 1984. Back then I worked in EMS in an urban setting and carried it at all times. Needless to say the flashlight was used as a hammer, a wheel chock and other things not intended by the manufacturer. I have replaced the lens once due to my fault. I have had only 4 or 5 batteries after all these years. I also had to send it back to Mag for some type of recall for the switch assembly. It was repaired and returned in a week. It had spent much of its post EMS life mounted in my car on the left side of the driver's seat. When I got a luxury SUV I was not drilling holes for the mounting bracket. It now spends its time sitting in a charger mounted in my home office. Becaue it is visible to other parts of the house, someone once asked me why I don't paint it. I am proud of the scratches or "battle scars" on the barrel. The MAG just can't be beat for durability. Truely adjustable focus from spot to flood with a simple twist. I still use the original style halogen bulb which has been replaced once or twice. When I first bought this I had also considered the Streamlight SL-20 which several friends bought. My friends regretted their choice. I have nothing but MAG flashlights all over my house and at least one in each car.

I've been using this same basic flashlight for 20+ years now in my job as an auto mechanic. It's the one tool I use on virtually every job, and it is a real workhorse. The one drawback with my older model lights was that the switches would eventually wear out, and Maglight will not sell a repair kit for the switch/socket ass'y. Hopefully, the new electronic on/off switch will hold up better.

I have had one of these for years. I purchased this one as a gift. It always works, in a blackout, you will have the brightest flashlight on the block. MagLite stands behind all of their products, if you ever have an issue, just contact them and they will repair your unit. Everybody should have one of these in the house and one in the garage.

Without question, this is the best and most reliable flashlight ever built. Do NOT let the cost turn you away, it is worth every penney! Mine is now 12 years old! Last year, I upgraded to the new Nimh battery, but a new battery every 11 or 12 years for about $20 makes this a very worthwhile investment. I would have spent more than $20 Each and every year (11 or 12 times) on D-cells if I had bought a regular flashlight. Also, back in the days of buying regular D-cell flashlights, I was buying them at least annually. Again, the ruggedness and durability of this flashlight are amazing making it not only cost effective, but the most reliable and dependable torch on the market. Mine is left hanging on the wall in the charging cradle all the time, so it is always ready to go. I bought a second cradle with the 12V adapter that I have mounted to the wall of my motorhome so when I go camping, I just bring my magcharger along and I am ready to go. Someday, I may buy another one, but I'm not sure why I would need it when one has served me so well for 12 years and with Life time support from Mag, one should last a lifetime, or longer, when I pass it down to my kids.
