Streamlight75712 Stinger 425-Lumen LED Bright Rechargeable Handheld Flashlight with 12V DC Charger, Black

If you are looking for a sturdy tough and rugged flashlight. Then this is the flashlight for you. I work on buses and semi-trucks. This flashlight is a great investment. It holds a charge for days. It is really bright. I especially like the rubber ring that stops it from rolling off things or away from you. The charger dock is awesome. I have it mounted to my toolbox, so it is always ready to go. It fits nicely in the hand. The flashlight has groves in the handle so it is not going to slip if your hands are grease or oily.This came with a flashlight, battery, charger, cord, and rubber ring. Also came with hardware to mount the charger. You can't go wrong with this flashlight. To say it is strong is one thing, but I ran this flashlight over with a car and nothing happened to it. So I can tell you this is a great flashlight.

This is a high quality light made by streamlight . I carried the older model of this light as a police officer, because when a police officer needs a light, it HAS to work. This one is LED so battery life is much longer than the older xenon bulb models. I bought this light so I had another one in my vehicle.

I needed a new flashlight for work and wanted to move away from my full size streamlight rechargeable. I owned a stinger 8 or so years ago but it had the xenon bulb and when the battery went bad I never replaced it. So this time I wanted to go with LED as the bulbs basically last forever and the xenon bulbs are expensive. All that said I wanted a good price and selection so I went to amazon. Unfortunately things got confusing from there. Amazon had so many stinger products with model numbers that had no corresponding reference on the Streamlight website so for my review instead of focusing on the light, lumens, body comp, etc, which had been covered before, I wanted to try to clear up the product numbers to make buying easier if you have already decided to buy a Stinger. (I spent hours trying to figure out what the model number meant because the pictures were basically worthless when deciding between certain models as well as included accessories)Basically what I determined is that the beginning three numbers tell what kind of light it is. 757 is the Stinger LED as shown on the Streamlight website. 758 is the Stinger DS LED and 75? anything else is the standard Stinger xenon bulb.The only anomaly is the DS HP, which follows no rhyme or reason but is easily distinguishable because of it's large lamp portion.So the difference?The Stinger LED has one on/off switch on the handle and an rubber anti-roll ring that can be placed on the flashlightThe Stinger LED DS had two fully functional on/off switches one on the body and one on the end. The light output is basically the same on both from what I can tell as are all other features.The Stinger LED HP had that large bulging portion that according to Steamlight gives it a long range targeting beam. Has only one on/off switchThe classic stinger has the xenon bulb.All Stingers that I know of will charge with the battery in the flashlight in the charger. Other accessories are available of with the one that caused me the most confusion being the "Piggyback" holder. It is basically an additional holder for a battery only that attaches to a regular charger. Don't be fooled by the "fast charger" thing. As far as I can tell all Stinger chargers will charge in "fast" mode as well as "regular" mode (even the piggyback)Now for accessories. Here it is to the best of my ability is the list for LED lights only. It is not exhaustive and is a guide onlyModel75710-LED flashlight only, no battery75711-LED with AC charger only75712-LED with DC only75713-LED flashlight only with battery75732-LED with AC, DC, and piggyback.

I don't have any knowledge of how many batteries or charger cradles (other then the one I bought) are included with each model because it does not say on the web pages as far as I can tell. I think that in the end you should assume you get one battery and one charging cradle with two cords AC and DC then if you get more it is a bonus.Hope this review helps.

These flashlights are incredible. I've used them heavily in the steel industry for 6 years now and they are one the most durable flashlights in this price range.A testament to it's longevity - Unbeknownst to me, this light fell out of my pocket while I was working on a piece of equipment at work. Crawled out of the hole I was crammed in and said machine began running again. Hours later I noticed my light was missing. Went back to the machine I was working on and saw it, with the light still on, sitting under the machine with cooling water drowning the flashlight. It had been this way for at least 4 hours. Waited for the machine to clear, went in and grabbed it and it worked without issue for years afterwards. Needless to say I was pretty impressed.Streamlight's warranty is also fantastic. I was having problems with the button working intermittently after about 4 years of rugged use. Went to Streamlight's website, filled out the warranty information and shipped it out to them. 1 1/2 weeks later I had it back with a new button and about 3 other new parts that did not need replaced (one including the entire aluminum head casing that retains the LED) but were taken care of anyway. No questions asked and return shipping was covered by Streamlight!I have only one NEGATIVE thing to say and it's about the plastic lens (that protects the LED) and it's subpar resistance to heat. I use it around high heat areas (400-1700 deg F) often and have had the lense shrink and crack (spider web) when exposed to these ranges of radiant heat. It only slightly effects brightness and beam concentration but is really only a aesthetic annoyance.Barring that this light is incredible. Would recommend to anyone, especially those who need a VERY durable light with a no-questions-asked warranty!***UPDATE*** It has been about 2 1/2 years since I wrote this review and this light still performs the same as it did the day I received it. Streamlight has truly done a fantastic job making not only manufacturing a dependable light but a DURABLE light. I'll be honest, I've used this as a hammer on more than one occasion when things got really hairy. Didn't phase it in the slightest! Still gets two thumbs up in my book 6 years later!

Great product, Fast shipping
