I've one of the first Arc AAA's to have been made. It has sat on a keyring since the day I received it and has taken more abuse than I ever thought possible. As a result of mixing it with keys and change in my pocket it now no longer has any anodising and the body has worn smooth. However, the light works first time every time and seemingly will live for quite a few more years yet. It isn't a pocket rocket but it was and is an enduring testimony to a great design and great engineer.
