 The most convenient flashlight April 29, 2008

I bought this little flashlight two years ago, and it's the most fantastic flashlight I've ever owned. It's small enough to put it in my pocket and use it almost every day (for wondering in the house at night, or for reading in bed with the flashlight sitting on my head ;-)) but not too small that you need to use non-standard and expensive batteries (I actually use standard rechargeable AAA batteries, and one charged battery lasts for many hours of light). The light this flashlight gives out is surprisingly good for its size, but definitely this is not the flashlight for you if strong light is what you're looking for.
The flashlight's finish is beautiful - it is entirely anodized ("brushed") aluminum, with rubber grips in just the right places to allow you to rest the flashlight on your head, or between your teeth, when you need those two hands free ;-)
To summarize, this is the most practical flashlight I've ever seen. If you're looking for a super-flashlight to light up the radius of a mile for a week, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a simple but convenient flashlight to use frequently in your home, this is the perfect flashlight.
Surprisingly good little flashlight! December 17, 2009

I bought a number of these as "stocking stuffers". They are extremely well designed and easily fit in a pocket or on your key chain (with included ring). Ours even came packaged with a AAA battery. The walk from our parking area to our front door can be dark if we've forgotten to turn on the outside lights. This little flashlight has "saved the day" a number of times by providing a tight beam of bright light, perfect for unlocking the door or even for searching for something in the bottom of your purse or in the back of the car where the dome light doesn't reach. It doesn't use a lot of charge so the battery lasts a long time. A great buy!

Wonderful little flashlight.
Certainly exceeded my expectations.
Big-time.
This little flashlight is just great in terms of design, quality, performance.
Now you may laugh at me (for the following) if you wish.
But I bought mine just to see if my used AAA batteries (retired from a small digital camera that I have) actually do have a good bit of life left in them.
Well they do.
This little flashlight works fine on AAA batteries that were no longer up to the camera's needs.
I was not sure what to expect in this test (experiment) but I got a very pleasant surprise from this little flashlight.
My suspicions were confirmed.
I went over to rechargeable AAAs for that camera a couple of years ago, but I held on to a collection of 'dead' alkaline AAAs with sell-by/use-by dates of years into the future.
Because I figured that they'd still probably be good enough for a AAA flashlight.
Even though, back at that time, I didn't know that LED AAA flashlights were out there.
Gee whizzakers, I should never have to buy this little flashlight a new battery.
Between the collection of used ones and the sets of rechargeables that I have.
I think that I titled this review as 'Excellent Investment' or something like that.
Other good surprises that this Dorcy flashlight gave me are:
Solid, simple, well thought-out design and construction.
Bright light.
Plus, it's a cute little critter.
Handy-dandy little piece of equipment that I'm really glad to have.
Now I'll just sit back and watch for all kinds of negative reviews of this positively great little flashlight.
The Dorcy 41-4234.
Oh by the way, mine's either green or blue or maybe teal, I'm no good at describing colors.

This flashlight is the very best pocket flashlight that I have ever owned. It is unbelieveably bright for its size and holds a battery charge for a long period of time. The AAA sized battery is also very easy to replace. I am not a person who normally gives reviews on products, but this flashlight earns the right to have an excellent review.
Excellent! April 16, 2010

I have 3 things in my pockets at all times.
1) A BIC lighter
2) A SuperKnife
3) A Dorcy AA LED flashlight
I bought the Dorcy about 6 years ago at Walmart and liked it though I used it very little.
Now I live in Ruralville and use it much more.
You know what they say, if you like something, buy two.
So I went and bought 4 more of them.
Sadly, the Walmart around here stopped carrying them, but if I see them anywhere else I will buy a few more to have on hand.
I have the one in my pocket, 1 on my bedside night table, one in my truck console and one lying here on my desk. I also have several larger Dorcy flashlights as well.
I use my Dorcy every night walking from my workshop to the house and it always works perfectly.
At 11pm every night I walk the muttz down through the woods and use the Dorcy to see and to ward off coyotes.
The battery lasts a long time and I change it maybe once a year.
The rubber grips help it to stay in your pants pocket if you happen to be upside down.
I put a rubber band on my BIC and Superknife to keep them from falling out.
Thats an old trick we used in the army.
I highly recommend the Dorcy AA Flashlight and oh yea, it comes in various anodized aluminum colors which always look pretty cool, but my favorite is the plain silver one.
Go out and get one today, you won't regret it and you'll surely find it useful, in fact, buy two!
Yes, my wife has one too.
