This is in my pocket all the time. While it's made to be a "keychain" light and indeed can, I don't always have my keys in my pocket, but I do have this light. The low level, power-saving mode is perfect when you need a little light for walking in from the car. The brighter modes are perfect for seeing across the yard, or the back of that deep cabinet you're looking for something in. I put one on my waterfowl lanyard so that I always have a light handy for finding an ample light, but in reality, I've started leaving the ample light in the blind bag.

When I can't carry a larger light, this is with me. It is very bright and easy to operate. Very well made, and charge lasts quite a while.

This is a great keychain light.it bright enough and very handy..no need for batteries..

I was tired of never finding a flashlight when I needed one, whether I was walking through the yard when it is dark or when looking for items that I dropped. I was familiar with SureFire due to their weapons lights. So, I gave this a try. On the highest setting, this thing is bright. The battery life is great-I've charged it once since I got it. Having the charging be via USB means I can set it at home or in my car. The size is pocket-friendly. I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase.

Works great. Charge lasts a long time. I always have it in my pocket for when I need it. Customers have been amazed at how bright it is when I pull it out to use it. Highly recommend it as a must-have item.

Let me just start by saying that you should buy the surefire sidekick. It's an awesome little light, with better build quality than I expected and really bright light for its size. In fact, more light than several larger 2 or 3 cell flashlights that I own. It slips into your pocket with ease, and it's great that it's rechargeable as I can hook it up to my battery packs, solar charger, car USB charging port, or just about anywhere else when it needs more juice. This is now part of my everyday carry kit. I would say the beam is more of a floodlight than a spotlight, but it's still blindingly bright.

For years I carried a stream light nano. It is a great tiny little light and served me well. I bought the surefire sidekick ultra as I needed something brighter that was still convenient. This is amazing! I bought one for every key set. The brightest setting heats up quick and will dim in a few mins. The med and low last much longer. Recharging is easy. This isn't a long use flashlight, but when you need convenient light on demand for short periods, this is what you need.

You won't know how frequently useful it is to have a bright little light with you all the time until you have one. Find a friend's keys, find a leaking hose under the hood, find the bad circuit breaker, find the neighbor's cat in the bushes, find the right output port on the back of a computer under your desk, read a serial number on the corroded data plate of a 30-year-old air conditioner.. This surefire sidekick flashlight is perfect -- it weighs almost nothing, it recharges fast and has enough on-time (especially at one of the lower power levels) to be useful all week between charges.

I own two of these sidekick flashlights and gave two away as gifts. Everyone loves them. The fact they are rechargeable is a huge plus, and recharging is fast and easy. I like to walk my dog at night; some streets are better lite than others, so I use all three modes each night. The fact this is lightweight is a plus, and the on/off button, which can be difficult to turn on, never comes on accidentally. I would buy more if they weren't so expensive.

There are other flashlight brands out there that are equally as good. But for a keychain flashlight, the surefire sidekick one is very bright, and there is no need to replace batteries, it's USB rechargeable. Very durable, and the Seller provided fast shipping. I recommend this little keychain flashlight.
