is this a good flash light is it tuff has anybody had it for longer than a year and is it still working?

I've had mine for several months and carry it everyday. Battery life is very good for one aaa, especially compared to bigger flash lights that use 3 aaa. Yesterday I discovered that I ran it through the washer and dryer and it was turned on and still working when I got my clothes out of the dryer!!! Lol. I was so happy I did a cart wheel and a back flip immediately. It's a $15 flashlight and it's worth the money. People act like it's some huge expense, take a chance and live on the the edge and buy this $15 flashlight.

Is still made in America?, come with a warranty of some kind?

Yes. I received mine today (Nov. 29, 2017) and the packaging states "manufactured in the U.S.A." and "ten year limited warranty."

My light tends to flicker when I turn it on, and then it doesn't want to stay on. Any fix ideas?

The other customer's responses are "plausible fixes" but I don't think they will actually "fix" the problem with these flashlights. I recently bought two of these {on two different orders} and both were defective. The one I carried on the keychain in my pocket {i.e., it is always "warm"} failed after about a week ... flickered several times and then within a day or so would NOT come on at all. The 2nd one stays on the nightstand in my RV and this time of year is always fairly cold at night when I use it {but no lower than 24 degrees F this year so far}. Once the 1st failed I tried the 2nd {I was waiting for the replacement of the 1st to arrive} and it worked a total of 4 - 5 times before the same total failure. I had already received a replacement for the 1st failed light, but have returned it also since I expect it to fail as well and I didn't want to get stuck with it after the 30 day Amazon return window closed. BTW, I was replacing 2 VERY OLD Maglights {"solitaire" incandescents from OVER a decade ago} because one of them FINALLY stopped working and the other one's lens was cloudy from 10+ years on my keychain. Their "new" products either are of very poor "quality" OR perhaps they just dump those that don't pass QA onto unsuspecting customers via Amazon's "Add On Item" program with "lower prices". Trust me, the price isn't LOW ENOUGH. Lastly, although the process was VERY cumbersome, with the assistance of a very pleasant Amazon Cust Svc representative I finally was able to get a usable return shipping label(s) for returning the 2nd and the 1st's replacement.

how does the lifetime warranty work? I bought one a month ago and it's not working anymore.

#1- Check if the battery is working, try a new one if you have one, incandescent light bulbs may very dimly light up with a dying battery, whereas LEDs won't even turn on after a certain voltage (charge) threshold has been reached.#2- Check if the LED was "burnt" by inadvertedly connecting it in the wrong way. LEDs are polarized, as opposed to incandescendt light bulbs, which means they only work then connected with poles properly matched ("+" & "-" symbols).#3- Check whether the thread in the cap is in good condition, you may have inadvertedly damaged it (it's a fine, delicate thread). This can cause the circuit to "go open" (contacts not touching).#4- Lastly, check for dirt or moisture inside the casing. This is unlikely, but may happen, as with any other electronic device.#5- Send an e-mail to Maglite.Good luck!
