Mag-Lite 3 cell D Review Summary

Looking for a tough flashlight that will stand up to abuse and actually last for more than a year? Meet the Mag-Lite Flashlight that operates on 3 D cell batteries. This heavyweight flashlight delivers a bright light, and is constructed with materials that make this flashlight one to last for many years. The Mag-Lite Flashlight is well worth the money per our reviewers. A few complained about how heavy the Mag-Lite is compared to regular flashlights but they also said it lasts much longer too. It is used by policemen in the line of duty, by campers and by homeowners around the house. Our reviewers all gave the Mag-Lite a big thumbs up!

The only flashlight you'll ever need!

The only flashlight you'll ever need!

I love this Maglite! I have had this one for over a decade now and it still works every time. The light beam can be adjusted from a large area to a small pin point. It is heavy and long and I use this one when I'm investigating things at night because it can be used for self protection also. I should explain that I live in the country and you never know what's out there. I think this is actually the one that the police use!

I went with the purple one, it still looks like it did the day I got it!

Two thumbs up!!!

I am a big fan of the mag lite for many reasons. The first is that I really like the construction of the lite itself. It is easy to change the bulb when it goes out and it shines extra brite. When I go outside at night I want a light that will shine bright but not be something huge to carry around and mag lite is the perfect fir for that. It is perfect to keep in the car in case of emergencies so I really recommend that everyone buys one. There is no other light on the market that shines as bright as the mag light.

Good bright light, sturdy construction

I'm a Realtor and this is the flash light that I keep in my car in case I show a house that has no electricity, so my flashlight needs to be reliable. This one has great light and the batteries last pretty well. It has solid construction and feels good in the hand with a good grip. It is also pretty heavy, it has 3 D-cells inside. I have replaced the bulb once and I thought it a little on the expensive side, but it came in a two pack so my next bulb is also paid for. There is now also a version with LED. I've been very happy with other LED lights, if I replace this light I might consider... read full review »

Lasts for years, dependable and you could use on an intruder!

Prepared, tired of cheap throwaways

I got a MagLite about 10 years ago- still works beautifully.

I was tired of the cheap flashlights that conked out just when you really needed some light-like on Sunday night when the electricity goes off and no stores are open.

MagLite is heavy duty- I don't like guns, so I figure that the 'ol MagLite could be used to fend off an intruder- it's long, with a special "grip" handle, and I wouldn't want to be whacked on the head with one!!

I agree with other reviewer- it must be secured in a car, because as noted above, you don''t want it to fly about and inflict a head injury on your passengers. ...

This light will last forever. Notice in the apocolyptic movies - they always have a mag-lite after the nuclear or environmental disaster! The cons of this light (heavy, expensive) are far outdone by the pros. And the expensive label is not really accurate. It may be expensive, but it is an excellent VALUE This light will last forever! So while you pay more at teh beginning, you pay less in the long run, which is (in this reviewer's opinion) a measure of value over expensiveness. Bright light, adjustable beam, effective subduer of burglars, good value, longer life than most of us (I... read full review »

This is a great flashlight! Just check the batteries for leakage often. The batteries last long so you have to watch them for getting old and leaking. This is one durable light. Drop it, bang it around, it keeps on working. The extra bulb in the end cap is a great idea, too. I would also buy the "AA" mag light too and keep that one in your glove box. Mag Light is the Cadillac of flashlights!

Awesome, absolutely the best flashlight on the market.

This flashlight is great. It is well made. It works after being run over by a vehicle. Temperature does not effect it's performance. It has a much longer battery life than the cheaper flashlights. The beam is adjustable to whatever specific purpose it is being used for. The round design makes it prone to rolling around. I think it could benefit from some sort of flip down stand, but otherwise is awesome.

I agree with most of the other reviews, and would like to add some more thoughts on the light. I think that while it is very strong and reliable, I prefer rubber armored lights now. I also find that led lights provide better light and use less power to operate. This means longer battery life and better visability with futre lights. All in all buy the led model if you are goin with this light.

The Mag-Lite 3 cell D shames all others.

I have used the Mag-Lite 3 cell D everyday for the past six months and have still not changed the batteries. It is extremely durable, light, and it looks pretty cool. I have seen this thing roll off the roof of my house and come out unscathed. You would be crazy to not own one of these.

I have used this light for ten years now, and have not found anything that can compare.
I use this flashlight when ever I go camping, hunting, and fishing. It alos comes in real handy in a power outage, very dependable. In my opinion this the best all around flashlight you can buy.
