I have been buying Maglites for many years. I find them to be excellent flashlights. Well made, durable and reliable. The housing is machined aluminum and the lens is glass, not plastic.  The LED versions are worth the added cost. They are far brighter and cast way more light. The adjustable lens is great for changing the light pattern from wide to narrow. With a bit of care, these lights can last for decades of use.

This is the iconic flashlight. My father and grandfather both had Maglites when I was a boy, and they still use them. The all-aluminum construction means this thing can take a lot of abuse and still function perfectly. I own a number of versions... This was only purchased because the previous one I owned seems to be on permanent loan to one of my children, and I need to keep mine handy.
