Tools and Hardware Reviews of Streamlight 75014 Stinger Rechargeable Flashlight with Charger, Black
Customer Review: Best little flashlight ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have now purchased three of these flashlights. It is the best little flashlight ever -- really illuminates the dark. We have given two as gifts to friends because they have admired ours.Customer Review: Blinding
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a flashlight that 1)I would always know where it was located, 2) was always charged and the batteries weren't dead, 3) was well made and reliable, and 4) for a first line of defense, it had to be very bright (Blinding). I came across the Streamlight Stinger and the reviews suggested it had the features I wanted, except the price initially seemed high. The wall mounted charger would keep it in a specific spot as long as I put it back after use and would also keep the batteries in top shape. It is also well made. Because my wife is often home alone at night, my desire was to have a blinding light in the event someone wanted to come in uninvited. I'd read that some flashlights were capable of putting out such a brilliant beam, but had not seen one. After charging it the first time, I stood in the dark and asked my wife to shine it in my face. It was like looking at the sun or a arc welder - I really couldn't see anything other than a very bright light. Fortunately I've not had to use it for that purpose and hope it never is used for defense but I've found it to be quite helpful for the more mundane tasks such as locating the cat late at night as well as any of the other "normal" circumstances that happen. So, it met my criteria and and after mounting it on the wall next to our bed, I've been very pleased with the flashlight and highly recommend it. The price doesn't seem so high now that I've used it and have had a chance to closely examine the quality of the light.
I haven't used the car charger, but I expect that it works as advertised. Because of it's brightness, it would be very helpful for setting up camp after the sun has gone down along a fishing river.
I did buy an extra bulb when I bought the flashlight, but so far the original bulb has worked perfectly. It would make a great gift.
Customer Review: Bright and Sturdy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a sturdy flashlight that is well designed. I am very satisfied with this product.Customer Review: Don't be left in the dark
Summary: 5 Stars
I supervise homicide detectives and often have to respond to crime scenes in the middle of the night. Because I do not wear a uniform, large flashlights are cumbersome and impossible to carry. The Streamlight goes from the vehcle charger to my pocket and is ready when I need it.
The best feature is the powerful beam. I have had absolutely no trouble finding evidence (or people hiding). It works in cold and hot and appears to be quite durable.
I have not owned it long enough to judge the battery life - but replacements can be ordered making it more functional.
If you need a very bright light that is portable and durable you can't go wrong with Streamlight!
Customer Review: Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to buy at least 2 to 3 compact flashlights per year and countless batteries. In my line of work, I may need light 2 feet away or up to 30 feet away. The streamlight is excellent for putting a beam of light on a distant object.
High initial cost but, you'll save it in batteries (and frustration) with standard flashlights. Standard flashlights (especially of the same size) don't even come close to the brightness. My 4 'D' cell Mag lite isn't as bright as this light.
Convenient car charger if you're on-the-go.
