I guess I am missing something. What is the point of having 13 (or 30)
crappy quality flashlights?

Because they're not "crappy." They would be worth it at TWICE the price!

Seriously, they are perfectly adequate flashlights.
* They are all metal, not the "crappy" plastic of some brand-name,
"inexpensive" flashlights.
* They have an actual switch (in the base) instead of a sliding contact.
* They have NINE LEDs instead of seven or five found in the
commercial, brand-name, $4.95+ flashlights.
* They come with a handy little noose, enabling them to dangle from a
knob on the dash.
* They come in colors to match your political persuasion: Blue
(Democrat), Red (Republican), and Black.

I went to HF today - a 40 minute drive.
They were giving out the red or blue jobs.
While wandering thru the store I saw sets of two of the same units being
sold in a blister pack for $8.95.
Those are the SAME units they give away. How do I know?
I was at the register when one of the staff brought a box of the blister
packed duals up front and started to rip them open.
