Maglite 4D (4 cell D battery)
This product is one of those rare instances when perfection is nearly achieved. Its primary purpose as a light source, and an adjustable one at that, is well known and without equal. The quality is impeccable, and that law enforcement officers utilize them, is a testament to their reliability.
However to minimize this marvel of engineering to a source of portable light, is to commit an injustice. Like many items that have become the very definition of their product niche, their original task, becomes one use amongst many.
Joggers/Runners/Walkers: We have all seen the aforementioned progressing down the street carrying a stick to ward off any overly enthusiastic, allegedly domesticated, pets. Now other than throwing said stick in the hopes the quadruped in question will chase it, I don't think it will deter a Doberman, Ratweiler, or Pit bull. With the likelihood of having one swipe at self-defense, on the off chance you connect, unlike a stick, this will get their attention. If two are carried, you can save the cost of those bags of buckshot that serve as weights when velcroed around the wrist.
One reviewer, (a friend), mentioned how "cute" the tiniest of these are. No argument here. However, in the event of an assailant, anything larger than a Gerbil, and you are out of luck. But unlike those pouches people have been wearing around their waist, which if I may digress, are the ugliest blasted appendages, get your self a snazzy o-ring. You will be on the cutting edge of fashion well before the Chanel version appears in "Cosmo". And as far as utility, the next time an officer of the law approaches your car, notice what he or she carries, and how he or she carries it. Oh yeah, that's why they have them out during broad daylight!
For the Gardeners out there, no more running back for the hammer when a tomato stake needs attention. For the Winter Sportsman or woman, this will come in handy when heading out to your ice fishing shack and you find a layer of ice over your fishing hole. One swing and your done, just keep a firm grip, as they don't exactly give these away.
Doorstop, ice-pick replacement, and signal safety light, the uses are limited only by your ingenuity. If these were any more effective, there would be a 3-day waiting period to buy one.
