Full review
I rate this as excellent as because it it very practical, looks great and has a very powerful beam.
The whole body is made of metal and when stuffed with 4 D cell batteries, it weighs quite a bit, which I kind of like. Security guards use these types of torches not only because they are great to see into dark places, but also because they double up as handy battons. Not that I would advocate their use as a weapon, but if you had to defend yourself, I'd rather be holding this torch than any other.
I've found battery life to be pretty good. Haven't really counted the hours but with occasional use I haven't changed the batteries in over a year. As with most/all maglites, you get a spare bulb tucked into the end cap which is a good idea. Although I haven't had to use that yet in over 5 years.
The end of the torch twists to enable you to focus the beam or have a spread of light, depending on your situation. You turn it on and off with a a rubber button on the shaft with reassuring clicks. Click on, click off.
I never go camping without it. This torch can be complimented by other smaller torches in the maglite range as they are all very robust. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone.
