Currently looking to buy a "good, reliable, durable" LED cap attachment flashlight.
I purchased what I felt was a good one from our local True Value hardware store a few months ago. It is the type that is slightly curved in design that has (or had) two plastic clips to clip on to the caps front visor, and runs on three AAA batteries and has an LED bar light fixture.
It really wasn't exactly the exact type/style for a cap, that I was looking for but at the time that I needed one that was all the hardware store had also I was in a time constraint situation and needed something that allowed for hands free movement, etc. (I live in small country town and that is the nearest hardware store around for miles).
Anyway, really don't know the name of the clip on cap visor's flashlight but it was made in China.
Well months later I grabbed the cap that had the clip on flashlight to use and well as soon as I put the cap on an attempted to turn on the flashlight it fell completely off! No kidding here!
The two "plastic clips" that attached to the flashlight completely broke off! Tried salvaging the flashlights usefulness by gluing the clips back on but without success.
I was taken aback by this and just was stunned to say the least! The flashlight itself works fine, turns on and off, etc. but it is really no longer useful for what it was intended to use for? Make sense?!
This is why now I asking for members help here to suggest, recommend, etc. so now I am looking for a good reliable replacement that I could purchase but do have two main requirements for it.
1.) The flashlight must have metal clips
2.) The flashlight must be durable and reliable.
Believe me I've tried searching the web but really can't find anything with positive reviews to actually make a decision.
Thanks in advance for any an all suggestions.
