Sam on Dec 28, 2010 - 5:37 PM I bought one of these and it was the best flashlight I've ever had. I lost it in a fire. I've been looking for a replacement, used or otherwise, to no avail. If anyone has one, or finds one I would like to buy it or even would pay a small finders fee if you just locate it. I would pay 20 for one or 5 for a finders fee. Please email me if you know of one I can procure.

Garrity made a similar flaslight in circa 1998 that was made of plastic but had rubber on the head tail and switch, it was called the "Rugged Lite". It came in the 2D and 2AA models, and i wish they would put it back on the market. Send E-Mail Reply to eric m.

Devin on Jul 8, 2010 - 1:36 AM This flashlight (the older style T500) is comfortable to hold and is virtually indestructable. The on/off button is located in the base which eliminates accidental shut offs. The lanyard prevents the flashlight from going anywhere if dropped and can be used for hanging the flashlight when you need a stationary light source. Unbelievably, they decided to stop making these and are now marketing a completely different flashlight as the T500.
