i bought a little LED torch in woolies a while back, last year some time.

when i walk leroy at night its fantastic, fits in my pocket and when in use gives a really good light.

so, i want another one, but my local woollies hasnt got any

acording to the woollies website they should be 'in stock' but alas not and the girl at the front counter was, well less than helpful.

so i'm asking if anyone out there shops in a woolies can see if their shop has one.

its an XSTREEM 16LED Flashlight $18.50

i took some pictures, its 5 inches long so not very big

Ahem. The one I'm recommending to David is 8 cm long

Don't think that will do much harm.....except maybe choke someone if they swallow it.

Security guards use the size that takes D size batteries

Yes, my security guard daughter gave me one of those big beauties and taught me how to use it to great effect. I would not go out at night without it now.

But they are very expensive if you cannot claim them on tax.

I knew it was a big battery. Never having been a security guard, I based my comment on A Night at the Museum and the taxi drivers I know who carry them.
