I found my old Maglite 6 D Cell from the shed and it did not work properly only every other time and I was about to throw it out but then I found your video and disassemble it. Now it works like new it is probably 10 years old.
You can't go wrong with a Maglite 3-D. I have one that is over 20 years old. There are a few differences with it: The switch has a more robust click to it, there is more knurling on the tube and the thickness of the aluminium is a little beefier =)
It was under water for like a week went back and actually found it ! There was minimal water in it when I found it if u don't take the button out often it dosent stretch and STAYS WATERPROOF
Haha the upgrades in the US are like $15 I have a led maglite 2d it came led was $30 I think it's not true that maglites are not water proof I dropped mine without knowing it
Hi there, thanks so much for this demonstration. My maglite had batteries in it that leaked and they caused a right mess inside. I needed to take it apart to clean it all up and without this video it could of been a real dilemma. I have cleaned it up and reassembled it, it is now as good as new. Thank you.
thank you so much for this post ,i brought a friend of mine a mag 2 cell and the switch has stopped working , we we wondering how to fit the problem , can i order just the switch from mag light ? and you said in your vid that the torch was $74 ,here at wall mart the led 2 cell around $30 us
Hi and im glad my videos helped. As i am in Australia M@gLites cost substantially more over here and i purchased mine in back in 2005 before the L.E.D variant was released.
As for ordering a new switch i am pritty sure you can order direct from maglite so i would call 800 289-6241 during business hours and order one, but as im in australia i am not sure about any other way of getting your hands on parts. best regards.

TILZ4U. Thank you for your comment. In answer to your question the only thing required to convert a standard D-Cell into a L.E.D is the l.e.d modual available from M@glite other than that they are identical. I recomend the genuine m@glite bulb as it is 3watt. NiteIze make a bulb but it is only 1watt so it's not as good, although the genuine m@glite one is more expensive costing about $60Au. Thanks
Very helpful! Thank you. I'd never taken a Maglite apart before. Had to clean off some corrosion from the metal contacts. Both parts of your vid came in handy. :-)
maglte has never marked that the c or d cell flashlight is waterproof. Only that they where water resistant. and they are very water resisting. I know that from experience with my own 4D-cell. nice video, but only 4/5 because of that error.

What size allen key were you using? Mine somehow doesn't come out at all.

Hi and thanks for the comment. the allen key size is a 2mm or a 5/64. 2mm is a better fit but either one works. cheers!
