Metal bodied Brinkmann 2D or 3D cell lights are better; I know, I have two of them and use them regularly. Plastic is lighter in weight, but not tough enough for severe use. Sorry Brinkmann.

Fireball SP2 on Jun 4, 2006 - 11:06 AM One of my first flashlights. I went to the store when I was seventeen after seeing my friend with a 2AA MiniMag, and although I could afford the MiniMag, I decided to see if this Brinkmann 2AA light would do the job as well. Even with premium batteries in it, it wasn't very bright. I used it to walk these wooded trails at night, and it 'just' lit up a few feet in front of me....and not much more. It did have a 'spot to flood' function, but after the tailcap cracked, and the T1 bulb burnt out, I decided to throw it out. What a dissapointment. Brinkmann, Brinkmann. Come on! 4 out of 10 Send E-Mail Reply to Fireball SP2 Your Name: Your E-Mail Address: Message: >>Original Message on Jun 4, 2006 - 11:06 AM:<br>>>======================<br>>>" One of my first flashlights.
