All my flash lights are LED now. Coupe at cabin, condo, house and

Except in my car. That 5 D-cell maglight also can double as a
weapon.
A single-size lug wrench is lighter and faster, and it won't break
when ya split a skull.

A flashlight has plausible deniability, at least after dark. A lug
wrench, unless you are standing next to a jacked up flat tire, not so
much.
(I was just walkin' home, officer, mindin' my own business. I was even
carrying a flashlight so people wouldn't run over me. This fellow
just came up from behind and grabbed me- I'm not really sure just what
happened then....)
Come to think of it, I haven't seen my 4-cell in awhile. Wonder where
it is? Maglights were a lot cooler when they were not mass-market.
They used to come in a cardboard box at the gun store, not a blister
pack at Sam's Club.

you can get LED upgrades for the Maglights now;either 1 watt or 3 watt
Luxeon LEDs.
Then when you whack someone,the lamp doesn't fail. B-)
