Streamlight 75710 Stinger 425-Lumen LED Rechargeable Flashlight with Nimh Battery Without Charger, Black

I use this flashlight everyday at my job and I have never had it fail on me. I tend to drop it a lot and have used it during monsoons where it and I get completely soaked but it keeps on ticking. I have owned two of these flashlights in about 6 years at my job and the only reason I had to buy a second one (after about 3 years of use for the first) is because I dropped it somewhere in the desert while riding a quad and I was unable to locate it afterwards. The battery life is as advertised and I never noticed a reduction in charge after years of use. I would recommend this flashlight to anyone that is looking for a good flashlight that can take a beating and last for years.

This thing is so powerful and bright you could literally do damage to someones eyes. Ive only had it a couple of days and Im conditioning the batteries. They seem to last about 2 hours when left on continuously...pretty weak the last 10 minutes. It does come with the piggyback charger and an extra battery, but Im at a loss regarding the rapid charge and different modes of brightness. There arent any options on the charger or flashlight for those. In any event, this is the most powerful battery I have ever used. Just be careful you dont hurt someone. Flashlights have come a long way since the early 80s when we were issued a huge plastic flashlight that took 4 D cell batteries and maybe provided 3% of what the Streamlight produces. And we replaced the batteries at the beginning of our shift each night.

smaller than I expected but good value

If it were possible for me to add more than 5 stars in the durability category, I would. I purchased my first one of these lights about 10 years ago. In that time I’ve accidentally submerged it into water, dropped it from about 5-6 feet countless times, and even run over it with a few heavy trucks. Not once did it break or stop working when I really needed it. I stopped using it for a couple years due to a change in careers, and once I started using it again it was having some difficulties being as bright as it was when it was new, but I got a solid decade out of my first one so that’s nothing to be upset about.

I work as a professional automotive technician, and this is the best flashlight I have ever used. The piggyback charger makes battery changes a snap. It will take many drops from the car lift and keep coming back for more. I wish it came in a different color other than black, because most modern engine bays are all black making the flashlight difficult to find. I found that wrapping it with bright orange tape takes care of that problem. Overall, a super bright light that never goes in the tool box as it is the first tool used on almost every job.

I purchased this light to use at work. We run 12 hour shifts and use our lights extensively in the maintenance department. My company has standardized on the Streamlight Stinger. We have a large installed base of chargers, so I did not buy a new charger and this flashlight works well with the old charger for the Poly-stingers. Most of the older Stingers are the Poly-Stinger with the halogen bulb. Sometimes they would not last the whole shift and the bulbs get pretty hot when using a lot. The old Poly-Stinger seems to be pretty bright until you turn on one of these new LED Stingers nearby. This light puts out an amazing pure white, bright light that throws a long distance. It runs much cooler than the old halogen lamp units and lasts much longer between charges. It is worth the relatively steep price tag since it makes our job easier and more productive.

Lost the first one. Very happy to have a new one. Charges easy in car or home. Best light for a hunting trip or around the property.

Second stinger Ive owned awsome flashlight .

I like the light and I replaced it with another one just like it

Had these all the way back from the halogen bulb with the back up bulb stored in the tail cap. Obviously LED is the way now, but the classic Streamlight lives on as powerful as ever. It’s what you’ve come to expect with what I believe is HANDS DOWN the best duty or every day light on the market. It’s not in particularly cheap.. but you buy once. You cry once, don’t waste your time with o lights and those 10 pack value deal lights. I can attest to the fact that I promise you this light will outlive you, and even if something happens. I can also attest to the quality of Streamlights service department. Send them your product, and no Questions asked they will fix it up provided the rare circumstance of a failure takes place. I don’t often write reviews, but this item is worth my time to do my best in getting my point across that you won’t be sorry.
