Review of Gerber 22-80042 Trio LED Flashlight, Silver

If I based this review solely on durability of the shell and the physical power of the light that comes out, this is not a bad flashlight.

Problem though is that there is a serious design flaw that will render this thing useless and unfortunately, it could really ruin your day if this is the only flashlight you take out with you.


Plus: Well crafted and very sturdy shell; powerful triple LED beam.

Minus: It breaks VERY QUICKLY


Here's what happens:

To turn on the flashlight you are required to twist down the back cap all the way until the LED is on. To turn it off, you simply twist it off.

Do this too many times, and eventually the springs weaken and then when you screw the cap down 100%, there is weak to little contact with the batteries to the terminals resulting in 0% light.

Save your money and purchase a light that has a "switch" mechanism. If this light had a switch, I would give it 5 stars.So you may want to try a different GERBER model.

This was my only model and unfortunately it's the last because I can't find the receipt!

Maybe other people will have better luck?Either way, I find the twist on ideahorrible for longevity.
