I got one of these last year as a stocking stuffer. I expected more. It works good as a flashlight however the stand is useless.The 'nub' that the keychain attaches to, sticks out too far making the legs too short to hold the unit up. its almost like the light has a 4th leg in the middle.I was really let down that Stanley licensed this 'design' and allowed this miserable mini copy to be made.
Pluses: Surprisingly bright. Tripod legs seem to fold up too easy. Tripod design + tilt head aids in aiming the light where you want it.Negatives: Even though it has a keychain ring it seems a bit big to put in a pocket. Might work fine in a purse.
Cute gag gift but not useful. The tripod is too small to be usable; it just adds bulk to your pocket. Look at the key ring in the photo to get an idea of the size.
I was very wrong. If you like the tripod feature, I do highly recommend the other two Stanley Tripod flashlights. It does have a nice bright led light, but if you are looking for a small compact led light, there are better ones out there. I bought this flashlight thinking it would be of equal or similar quality of the larger Stanley Tripod flashlights. It is very flimsy, and cheap. I own both the "aa" and the "aaa" sizes and they are great. The keychain part sticks down so low, that it won't stand up on it's own like it is supposed to.
I got this for my dad on father's day. It has a great battery life too. He would always have a hard time while working on his car or around the house. And he now he uses it all the time.
