I thought... 'hey, a flashlight is a flashlight is a flashlight'... so simple, how could it be shit? Well, Harbor Freight's supplier somehow found a way to make a ridiculously simple tool and make it a fucking flaming pile of shit.

Sounds like a bad contact or solder joint. Fix it stupid.

Yeah, probably.... I just grab another flashlight and finish whatever I'm doing... Then I make the mistake of grabbing one of those POS's the next time...

They have a 3-pack that goes on sale from time to time for $3.99

I've got 9 of them for the house so I could have a flashlight in every room when needed.

I agree that they aren't a surefire...but for $1.33 each they friggin rawk!
