Literally carry one every day. 90% of the time, when it gets used it’s not a need, but it was really nice to have. If you drop a screw or something small, you can either crawl around looking for it for 5 minutes, or you can shine a flashlight across the floor and see the shadow in 5 seconds.
I watch literal doctors and mechanics try to finagle their phones with the light on into weird places and I have no idea why more people don’t carry a flashlight.
Sure, not everyone needs one, but if your job depends on needing extra light on a regular basis…
I originally got one as a self defense tool (though the bevel is ‘supposed to be’ for breaking a window, like if you’re trapped in a car). Whatever’s clever lol
Thankfully I never have had to use it for defense or survival, but I’ll be damned it I don’t use it for almost any reason at all, just because “I can’t see that great, I need LIGHT!”

Bonus points if you have a flashlight with a beveled edge for self-defense. Good old blind and bash!
