The shorter style is easier to attach to my belt when i'm walking the dogs. Great lite, swivel head make it easierto use, around outside and inside. Long life battery.
The perfect size (not too big, not miniature) for putting in every place a flashlight would be needed to be available to grab and go. For a small flashlight it's heavier than it looks. Aaa batteries and it give a really powerful beam of light.
The gorilla flashlight is a terrible flashlight. It switches from regular flashlight to strobe / sos / other without being the desired result. The battery pack is awkward and makes slipping in the 3 batteries difficult.
