    Why is it "Worth every penny"?

    High quality and solid. Adjustable viewing width. Shows defects very well(bright, but not too bright).

    I'm sorry, but $40 for a flashlight??? I could find a similar flashlight on Amazon for less than $15 that does the same including shipping. It would probably be under $10. Please explain what justifies the price tag over a less expensive flashlight. You can search for flashlights with the low lumen of the high priced one. You can also find them with metal or aluminum bodies. You can also find them with adjustable beam widths. I don't understand the justification of paying that much more for a stamped brand name on an inexpensive non branded flashlight that wasn't even made by the company selling it. Please explain.

    I gotta agree. Not saying the FLEX light is bad; I'm sure it is quite good. But you'd be paying a lot for that presentation box and FLEX rubber sock around the body.

    Re: FLEX beats Rupes to the Punch with new Swirl Finder Light

    Just got my Flex light and I have used it before on Thursday night makeovers down at Autogeek. So everyones question is how is it different. First off it is heavy duty indeed as Mark already pointed out. The thing that I think differs from every other 3 watt flashlight is the curved lens on the end of the light, it almost looks like an eyeball shape and preturds outward. Not sure if that help everyone out, but you can definetly spot the swirls, scratches, water spots, etc.

    Woah! My Stanley head light has a main section with LEDS and then small ones on each side. They are bright as hell and show so much. Plus, its on my head so easy to reach up and turn off on. Time saver. How would this light be better?

    Thank you for the first hand feedback! Chris, the single diode lights are definitely more desirable than the trillions of lower quality multi-diode lights on the market.
