I don't purposely abuse my lights just to see if they can "take it", but I don't pamper them, either. My HDS Rotary has a few dings, but I don't care. It gives it character.
This is a fantastic picture Tmack, loved it![]()
Couple that I use hard.
I posted this pic in another thread asking for some tailcap conversion advice, but thought you lot might like to see it too. Its my old Z2 that I carried for a couple of years on patrol duty.
I didn't use it especially hard but I didn't pamper it. Same thing goes for the rest of my lights, although I'll admit I've been watching out for my Lawman a little bit more than the rest of my lights

My Fenix LD05 just survived its second, third or fourth fall from waist level this week.... poor guy's a month and a half old and has been dropped on the tiles perhaps over a dozen of times *facepalm*
Difficult to nail this thread down.
Screwdrivers are tools. I beat them up pretty good tossing them in a toolbox, throwing and sliding them across the floor or even using them as pry bars. So I beat up tools.
Flashlights are tools. Does that mean I throw my $90 flashlight across the dirty concrete garage floor?
If it has to happen, it has to happen.
I would most definitely get up and grab the $14 rayovac before my $90 Zebralight though.
I pamper my wife, not my tools. Flashlights are tools.
I abuse my wife, pamper my tools. Ohhhh wait........... No...... Yeah that's right.......
