It’s a great all-purpose utility flashlight, and I definitely wouldn’t want to be caught without it. It’s super compact and easy to carry with me, yet still emits an impressive 1300 Lumen output, perfect for lighting up the path in front of me or lighting up dark corners and hallways.

The M6 is also excellent for use in the garage or shop when I’m tinkering around with my tools or working on the car. The magnetic tail cap has saved me hours of hunting for those pesky stray nuts and bolts that always seem to disappear. With the M6 nearby, I just stick them on the magnetic tail cap to keep track of them now.  It’s also great to be able to attach the flashlight to any metal surface at my workstation for an instant hands-free flashlight, especially useful if I need some focused overhead lighting. And, bonus, no more trying to track someone down to hold the flashlight.

Just like many of the other PowerTac flashlights, this one has the new magnetic charging system, making it super easy to charge. Just plug in the magnetic charging cable and that’s it. There is a battery indicator that turns red when it needs charging and changes to blue when the battery is ready to go.

The M6 also has the easy push power button that we’ve come to appreciate with other PowerTac flashlights. I’ll admit it was a bit of an adjustment for me to have the power button on the side instead of on the top where it usually is, but having the magnet there instead is definitely worth the adjustment period it takes to get used to it. One thing that helped with that was aligning the clip to where the power button is. That way I can remember where the button is and can find it easily in the dark.

This handy little flashlight really gets the job done and doesn’t break the bank like some other tactical flashlights. The M6 runs for $79.95 and is well worth it in terms of how versatile this flashlight is, especially when you consider how tough and durable these PowerTac Flashlights are. This flashlight is going to last you a good long while and pay for itself several times over.  Click here to check out a video that puts a PowerTac flashlight through the paces and shows just how much abuse they can withstand.  I know if I drop this on the concrete or asphalt, it’s still going to work, and the lens isn’t going to break!

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this flashlight. I can confidently highly recommend it for basic everyday use.  Check out the PowerTac M6 and other PowerTac lights on our website!

Have you ever thought about how much light can impact your safety?  We tend to think of flashlights to illuminate areas we are familiar with during a power outage or a space in our garage, attic or basement that is dim, or other areas that are too dark to handle a repair or locate something we need. In this case, a flashlight can offer convenience. Practical uses can range from finding something lost under a car seat, locating the fuse box in your garage when one has blown, making a repair to a car or machine in a dimly lit space or using on a camping trip or hike.  But what about situations where having a flashlight could affect our safety?

Many of us have experienced the uneasiness a poorly lit parking garage or side street can cause, yet we continue to overlook these and other scenarios where having light could keep us from getting hurt or even save lives.  I was tasked with evaluating several different types of tactical and practical use lights. That experience gave me an opportunity to think about flashlights and the power of illumination in a different way.  Now, having a powerful, high quality flashlight is as essential as my wallet, phone, or keys.

For example, what if the power goes out at your office when you are working late one winter evening? Having a PowerTac Scholar Penlight, Lance Gen2 Compact Pen Light, M6 or E9R Gen4 small utility lights could quickly light your path so you could pack your things and leave.  Now, imagine a situation where the scenario was more precarious. What if an intruder entered your office while you were working alone on evening?  This applies to your home too. A compact pen or utility light could be the difference between being a victim or saving yourself and your family. For the office, a Powertac Scholar or Lance Gen2 penlight are great choices. At home or in your car, I suggest keeping a M6 or E9R light model in your glovebox, purse or by your bedside.  Small, easy to carry and operate, these lights can be used to blind your attacker to give you an advantage and provide a means to escape and call for help.
