The website makes these claims and more: - Survival - Self-defense - Indestructible - Military-grade The reality is this: - It is bright flashlight with telescoping magnifying glass at the end to adjust beam from wide area to a small square but that is where it ends. - Can start fires using the beam: nope! - 30 days to return; - Overpriced - They try to pawn more off on you at time of sale for additional low cost; - they must know they are garbage, probably somebody's mistake that they want to offload as much as possible - Made in CHINA - Corporate office in CHINA - Malfunctions; cant even do simple on/off like most flashlights; or can only flash; seems like a computer chip problem - The veteran story us probably a bunch of BS Summary: A military-grade, indestructible flashlight, used in field by the U.S. military is not what this junk is. A real one would have enough confidence in it for sellers to go well beyond 30 days return. You will surely have better luck with anything at the hardware stores.
