Amazon.com Product Description
Stanley had the clever idea to mount a flashlight on a tripod for hands-free operation. This comes in handy if you're trying to do repair work during a power outage, for example, or doing wiring work in a crawlspace.This flashlight is sturdy and well-made: tripod legs are made of durable anodized aluminum, and the lamp head is a graphite ABS composite with a shatter-resistant polycarbonate lens. True to its name, the MaxLife will run through batteries much less quickly than incandescent models thanks to the energy-efficient LED bulb (the manufacturer claims it will give you a run time of over 200 hours on nine AA batteries). When you start to approach the 200th hour, a low-power indicator lets you know when it's time to change the batteries. You can also switch between high, medium, and low lighting intensities, and the multi-position head lets you aim the light where you need it (this is especially handy in tripod mode). This model also comes with three color lenses-blue, green, and red-for various nighttime applications. The flashlight will run on three, six, or nine AA batteries (not included).--Josh Dettweiler What's in the Box

 Handiest gadget I've ever purchased June 30, 2008

I gave one of these to my son who is an aircraft mechanic. He praised it highly. I was so impressed with his evaluation that I bought one for myself. I've used it a dozen times since it arrived an cannot believe how well it works and how handy it is. I recommned its use to everyone.

Not sure what all the negativity is about this product. I can't imagine trying to get my projects done around the house without it. This is a definite on my Christmas list for a lot of folks that I plan to give it to. No more having to put up with my husband holding the flashlight for me while I change out something in the dark and he is mistakenly shining the light in my eyes.

The product is really solid, but it takes too many batteries to get it running. They better last for a long time.
 I Agree with Rusty January 6, 2010
Crispybo (Phoenix, AZ)
I agree with Rusty. This product possesses a poorly designed latching system. I as well had the leg locking mechanism drop down out of place. Unless you force it back up where it belongs with a screwdriver it prevents the legs from closing all the way. If the legs don't close all the way, then it becomes difficult to hold like a regular flashlight which it is suppose to be able to do. This leg locking flaw does not prevent the legs from acting as a tripod stand for the light. I like the light a lot and if you really only want to use it as a light source on a tripod, then this product will be useful. The problem, as Rusty has detailed, unfortunately has a huge negative impact on the overall product. This terribly designed and unacceptable quality of the leg locking mechanism reflects poorly on this item since it prevents it from performing the way it is meant to be used with all the promoted features of this flash light. I got this item paired up with the little brother of this item, the 95-111, and this smaller verison of this reviewed item doesn't seem to have the same flaw since it works just as it is supposed to without any problems locking the legs into place.
 Weak tripod legs prone to breakage and won't latch closed. July 3, 2009
Rusty (Kentucky USA)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Beware. The tripod legs won't stay closed if you load it with its max capacity of 9 AA batteries. Plus, the first time you expand the tripod legs with a full load of batteries, the latching mechanism drops a locking pawl and you can't retract the legs. It's broken from then on unless you can figure out how to force the pawl back into place with a screwdriver while forcing the legs into the retracted position. Once you've fixed it, it won't hold, either. There's a release button to extend the legs but that button doesn't even need to be there because the slightest movement of any of the 3 tripod legs will cause all 3 legs to disengage and splay past the point to which the legs were supposed to lock into position and it's broken. There's a very weak magnet system that is supposed to augment the weak latching mechanism to hold all 3 legs in their retracted position but even this magnet system is too weak to hold them in place. So, the legs won't stay closed and once they fly open, the legs are broken. You can force the lock pawl back into position but it's just a weak toy waiting to break the next time you need to use the light.
It costs about $8 to $12 to ship it back for warranty and you'll only get another weak and feeble apparatus that is a waste of money. It might be useful if and only if you are willing to treat it gently, place it only on a flat and level surface, and don't touch it while it sits in place.
I'm am thoroughly sorry that I bought it. It has taught me a lesson, though. The Stanley name means nothing any more. I'll avoid Stanley like the plague--for everything. (I have to admit that I've been also disappointed with a Stanley FatMax retractable blade knife I bought a while back because the blade is very difficult to extend and retract. It's practically dangerous. Poorly designed tools with dismal performance.)
