ebow86 on Jul 20, 2011 - 2:26 PM This was my very first flashlight that I can remember having, my dad gave it to me for an overnight camping trip. Budget type flashlights of the 90's dont appeal to most because of the cheap build and performence. Flashlights of earlier periods like the old everreadys were built to last, most budget type lights from the 80's and 90's were all about cheap price and plastic parts, which is why so few are still around.
