I have several old tools from my dad and my grandpa. They're nothing of great monetary value, but they're irreplaceable. Good on you, Freddy, for keeping your Pop's memory alive. Gotta know where you came from to know where you're going.

One of the gifts I gave my dad for Christmas was a MagLight flashlight back in the mid-late 90's! He still has it too although he's retired now and doesn't use it as much. LOL

Good job. One suggestion: you should lube the o-rings with silicone grease. Note, it must be grease, not liquid or spray kind. The grease keeps them soft and working. Works with car o-rings and rubber seals too. I inherited my granddads tools a week ago. He passed away already like 30 years ago but now as my grandmom also passed away his tools were given to me. Among the tools was a pristine looking black Mini Maglite. I ordered a 180 lumen led kit to upgrade it to todays standards.

Really cool video. I recently bought a big Maglite (also with corroded batteries) and I found you looking for a solution. I'll try the Coke.

Try a little rubbing compound on that lens, the compound has afb adhesive that will cut thru the build up from years of use or tooth paste with baking soda which is your abrasive . Looks better and brighter though.

The bulb contacts can fall out and are not easy to replace. Be careful once the holder is removed

Hello, I’ve heard of using white vinegar but never to use coke. How did you learn about it? Have you tried both? If so which was best and why? Thanks
