Imagine My Surprise When I Pressed the Body Switch and the Light Came On!

I purchased my Stinger® flashlight the better part of ten years ago off of a Cornwell tool truck when I was turning wrenches professionally. I used this every day. At the time the price tag was hard to swallow, but I quickly came to realize it was one of the smartest purchases I had ever made. It was dropped, ran over, left in the rain, lost once, just plain beat on. A few months ago, I was working on a car when it abruptly caught on fire. It took a few minutes to get the car out of the garage to save my structure, but the car was a total loss. The firefighters who showed up to extinguish the car found what was left of my Stinger® on the radiator support under the hood insulation. It looked bad, to say the least. Endcap switch melted, the lens cracked a little, handgrip melted and blistered. But imagine my surprise when I pressed the body switch, and the light came on!!! Even the firefighters were amazed. All this with the same batteries from the original purchase! To say I am happy with this product would be an understatement. I won’t buy another flashlight for my personal use unless it’s a Streamlight®. I have attached some pictures. Thank you for a quality item.
