Okiwayway's Bungalow
This is our little place on Lake Charlevoix available for rent through VRBO.
The cabin was formerly known as Betula. After the renovation which kept the former cabin largely intact by design we decided to name the cabin after my Wife and I's grandmothers who we loved dearly.

Golden Gate Park Light display. life's little gifts
thank you
Thank you. I have been fighting with trying to get off my battery cap for far too long. I’m gonna try this now!
I have a big Maglite, tried hot water trick, liquid wrench soak etc. Even using 2 channel lock pliers I couldn't get the cap off. Seems to me, that if you google 'open maglite' and a bizzillion answers pop up, there is a FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN FLAW. Maybe I'll donate this monster I have.
Did you put the electrical tape on before you put it in hot water?
Thank you!
Don't buy these crap torches
I changed batteries (3 pack) in a Coast flashlight. I believe I put it in upside down and wound up locking the cap end when I put it back together. Have any advice How to unlock the cap?? 😢
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH! I've been looking on the internet on and off for a few years honestly, and finally found this video. I can't wait to try this hack. I appreciate you so much for sharing this. 🎉
Tried it but didn't work. Two vise grips and still couldn't budge it. Ended up destroying the Maglite.
Sorry Eric. If it's any consolation. After getting it open the insidw was so corroded if was probably better buying a new one anyway. The whole inside was pitted
Bite down? Was ya trying to eat it? : o )
gotta get your minerals somehow
Ill wonder do you two vise grips to losing it Ill try boiling hot water the flashlight hot that tape fall off feel like Cement glue it not mag light little better led leser T7 tactical flashlight Going heat hot water let cool down put Tape try it again
Yea, you'll want to heat it up woth out the tape. Dry it, then put the electrical tape on it. Vise drips or, in my case, pliers work
Thank you!!! like you, couldn't find anything that would help get the bottom off, am 65 yr old women, you empowered me! lol
Exactly the same issue (and scar marks) here! Thanks for the video
Wow! Thank You so much for this tip. I'm off to try it now. Really didn't want to throw my mini maglite flashlight away. 😃
"She blinded me with SCIENCE!" Thank you professor! Heating up the casing did indeed work. I used hot water from the tap inside a tin can. I also attached a thick cable zip tie around it, pulling it tight. I secured the battery cap, surrounded by a cable zip tie, into a small vise. The cap released with no damage to the shiny blue chrome. As I suspected, the batteries did indeed leak. On to the next issue...
