This thing is what Black & Decker's pitiful Snakelight wants to be when it grows up. Using a DeWalt/B&D 14.4v rechargable power module (regrettably not included or it'd rate FIVE stars), it puts out a beam that'd kill Superman. Really. Simple, solid, bright as a 737's landing light, it's worth the extra few dollars to have a serious flashlight around the house, car or jobsite.
