Husky Flashlights – Unbreakable Aluminum Flashlight

When it comes to flashlights, what is a guy to do? For instance, go and browse flashlights on Amazon and you will find flashlights that range anywhere from $5 to nearly $700. So, what’s a guy to do when searching for the best flashlight? Well, the first thing I’m going to suggest is going with your standard “stick flashlight”. From there I look for something durable, like these “unbreakable” aluminum Husky flashlights that I am sharing with you today.

Husky released five new stick flashlights. These Husky flashlights contain anywhere from 90 to 1,000 lumens, and the sizes range from you standard stick flashlight to small enough to fit in your pocket.

What makes these Husky flashlights unique is that they are made from a durable aluminum and are designed to be unbreakable.

Alright, let’s check out the flashlights in this lineup.

Husky Unbreakable Aluminum Flashlights

If you are not familiar with Husky, it’s Home Depot’s house brand. Husky is designed to get the job done for less. Husky’s goal is to create a quality product at a reasonable price.

So how do these husky Flashlights stack up?

Husky LED Flashlights

When Husky designed these flashlights, they set out to design an extremely tough flashlight that won’t break the bank. They started with an aluminium body and went with an LED light instead of an incandescent bulb. All the flashlights have one LED except the 1,000 lumens has three LED lights.

An LED light gives you a more true white light than the traditional yellow light. Not only do you get a better looking light, but you get a tougher light that won’t break on impact like an incandescent bulb will.

An LED light also is more efficient, so you get a longer run time. Another plus is the heat. You do not get the heat build up with an LED that you get with an incandescent bulb.

As far as bulbs go, Husky went with the top of the line type of lighting solution.

LED Flashlight Fun Fact:

Have you seen the first season of Stranger Things? If so, you might recall that in some flashlight scenes that some flashlights emit a yellow light while the other flashlights emit a white light. This was a production error where the assortment of flashlights were a mix of incandescent bulbs and LED.

While LED flashlights are not accurate to the era Stranger Things is based in, this mistake is a great display of traditional incandescent flashlights and LED flashlights.

Heavy-Duty Aluminum

In regards to the body, aluminium is not only strong, but is much lighter than steel. As a result these aluminum flashlights are lighter than older, traditional-style flashlights.

The aluminum body has a slit pattern, so it’s not smooth. This pattern helps with grip, even with gloves.

Husky didn’t stop with the bulb and the body.  Next they designed the Husky Flashlight with an over-molded rubber on the front of the light and also on the rear of the light. These are usually the two most common places a flashlight will hit when dropped on the ground. This offers another form of protection to the lights.

Husky Flashlight Durability

Husky created some tough flashlights when they made these. As you can see in our TIA video, we tried a lot of different things to break these Husky flashlights. We tested them in a variety of conditions and the Husky flashlights held-up in each of our torture tests.

Husky Waterproof Flashlights

Husky created these flashlights to be waterproof in up to one meter of water, which is about 3 feet. So, no worries if you are using these outside in the rain or accidentally drop in a small pool of water.

How-to-use Your Husky Flashlights

To turn the Husky flashlights on, there is a recessed push button on the bottom of the flashlight. Each Husky flashlight has three modes: High, low and strobe.
