A few weeks ago, my Home Hardware was selling Rayovac Workhorse Pro flashlights on sale for 20% off, reducing the price from $20 to $16. I was so impressed with the first one (the only one in the store) that I ordered two more the next day while they were still on sale. It's a great little flashlight ... built like a tank ... not exactly suitable for pocket carry but great in the quad trunk or glove box or boat bag or bailing bucket.

It's for my boat bucket, and it obviously does not float. There is no lanyard hole or attachment point, so I slipped/wiggled a large strong 30mm keychain split-ring onto a ranger band and then slipped the band onto the flashlight, just behind the flashlight head. Good enough. (You can actually slip a finger through the ring to temporarily free-up your hand, but be very careful ... remember Jimmy Kimmel.). Then, for still more versatility, I slipped a MEC key-ring holder (consisting of a small not-for-climbing accessory carabiner and an attached stoutly-sewn little nylon quickdraw) onto the 30mm split-ring.

MEC no longer sells that one, but they do sell an almost identical one from Nite Ize.

Works great! For storage I clip it to the small fist-sized red & white float/buoy that I have carabinered (with a real carabiner) to the end of my legally-required high-end buoyant throwing line that I keep in the boat bucket, along with an air horn. I'm guessing that the added weight on the end of the rope will make emergency tossing even better, and am hoping that the whole shebang will still float and (better yet) glow at night! I'm excited to try /test it. In theory it's effen brilliant.
