[AT] [Bulk] Re: Todays flashlights

The older I get, the more flashlights I own. I'm either getting smarter or 
my vision worse, maybe a little of both.
The one thing I have not seen mentioned yet is the flashlight on 
smartphones. After my industrial grade Motorola flip phone died, I decided 
to get with the program and get a smartphone. It was a bit humbling to have 
my 12 year old teach me how to use it. The one thing I use way more often 
than I ever figured I would is the flashlight. Last year I would keep a 
cheap flashlight in my coat pocket when picking corn so I could see how to 
get from the combine to the truck without breaking my neck over cornstalks. 
This year I just used my phone, its much better than a cheap light and one 
less thing to carry. It's also plenty bright enough to use for an end of the 
day inspection of the combine--I always look for anything broken, leaking or 
check for anything hot.

I agree in many respects with Ken.  A quality flashlight is a TOOL.  I
don't like crappy tools.  And if you develop the habit of carrying a
flashlight routinely, you'll soon wonder how you ever got along without.
