[QUOTE="Fly-n-Low, post: 175773, member: 8167"] I love the LED small flashlights. Streamlight is what I use. And yea, I had several Mag and MiniMag lights. At least one Mag in every truck and tool box. As with any aluminum flash light, oil the threads and O rings with petroleum jelly, and never a problem. I had a Streamlight that was comparable to a 6 cell Mag, but much smaller in length and barrel size. I loved it, until the lens was worn and needed another. Not available. I had already bought a battery... so when it died, I was done. Too bad, they compared the brightness to one of the old Q-Beams if you remember those. Every redneck around here used to have at least one in their truck or boat!!! LOL!!! GPS, the first time I used one was with an Etrex. All I did was use it for when I needed fuel as it would tell me where the truck stops were. I have a much newer model made for vehicles, but it constantly gives wrong directions. It will get you there, but you have to go around the world to get there. Not efficient at all. Not so sure that is Garmin's fault though. So I get on Google Map, etc and print off where I am going to go. I am with you Randy! :hdbng: [/QUOTE]
