Had this 4-cell Radio Shack flashlight that I used every day. The

Can anyone recommend a *good* cheap flashlight that's more durable?
Something you could buy four or five of to keep in several places
throughout the house.


Not uber-cheap, but the $30 Lowe's "Task Force" 2x C-cell 3W LED
flashlight is impressive enough that I have four of them - one to leave
by the front door in case the power goes out, one as a sometime work
light, sometime bike light, and two to carry in vehicles. Kicks my old
Mag-Lite's ass at less than half the size and weight.
