I have a common Duracell flashlight that uses two AA batteries. One of the
two orange buttons on either side that hold the battery and lens
compartments section together is broken off. Anyone got a clever idea how to
repair it short of using tape or replacing the flashlight?

Hot melt glue gun

That has possibilities. I'll need to borrow one.

You should buy one, it`s one of those tools that you`ll wonder how you
managed without.

Just buy one, they're dirt cheap and have all sorts of uses. I found mine
years ago sitting next to the trash dumpster at the apartment complex I
lived in, I use it all the time.

I kept the first AA Maglite I bought for something like ten years,
despite the fact that I 'tried' to close the car door on it the day I
bought it. I finally lost it, but had several more by then.

These days one of them soldiers on, with a $5 LED conversion. Unless I
let batteries corrode inside, it should last forever...works for about
90% of what I need a flashlight for.

I need a glue gun. What dumpster was that?
