Drove a tractor trailer like that once or twice.
Mean people suck. Anybody who'd clepto a Stinger fits that phrase.
Glad you got another cool flashlight!!!
I held one in a store thinking it was a great flashlight. Told my wife it was likely the best cop light ever made.
A week or two later the UPS man dropped off a Strion.
My wife was all frowny faced with tears welling up in her eyes saying "thought you weren't buying that one"......"man oh man did she go and buy me that Stinger?" I thought...
I said "this aint that one in the store the other day" comparing the little Strion to a nearby TL 2.
Christmas morning she hands me a wrapped box and I'm steady unwrapping thinking 'let it be the Stinger LED'...please please please...YESSSSSS!
Nice story bykfixer... Merry Christmas. :thumbsup:
I didn't get coal... I got a lesson.
Once again, I learned the lesson that I sometimes try to teach...
that sometimes the father is smarter than the son.

My dad gifted me a pair of mini maglite incandescents, with extra AA alkalines, that I can use when I get the stuck ones out.
So I pulled them apart, filled them with vinegar ( I had never seen batteries Soooo stuck) Drilled one out, picked at it, poked at it, drilled some more, and checked a youtube video...
Tried gently tapping on top of the switch.
tried more break free, and then WD-40
more tapping.
hmmm.... more drilling from the tail cap end.
more prying the outer case and body apart...
broke the outer rim of the battery with a file, ok, now I might be able to pull on it with needle nose pliers.
Hmmm... I made a plastic punch with a notch in it to protect the switch contacts, while banging on the base of the switch.
Opps the notch isn't deep enough, bent the contact a little bit. Ok... deeper notch.
Tap tap tap... bang... bang... bang. Oh no... the punch is breaking apart.
Bang.. Bang... no more punch.
Well.... maybe the contacts can actually take some abuse, and I am not really making any progress anyway.
Hard wood, wooden dowel, trimmed to size...
tap tap, bang... bang.
16 oz hammer.... bang bang bang....
48oz ball pein hammer.
BANG.. BANG... BANG.
I chewed up a portion of my work bench, but the batteries remained in place. The switch... yeah, that's make believe.
The other one is sitting in my vice, filled with WD-40. Maybe I'll try that one tomorrow. LOL.. maybe not.
I must have spent over two hours, going from being very delicate to increasingly more aggressive.
So I called him, thanked him, and told him that he was smarter than me.
His advice... "Son... chuckle... THROW THEM AWAY!"
lol... so now, why hadn't I thought of that!?
