Should you get a Maglite?
Look, we’ve all seen the flashlights for sale at the big name stores. Usually for around $5, you get a cheap plastic light that looks more like a toy than something that would be useful when you really need it. Often, they come in bright, happy colors and some sort of logo. There’s a reason [...]
