Streamlight makes fantastic torches and this one's no exception. I've used many keychain/pocket/micro torches over the years including traditional bulb and LED; AAA and button cell; and the Keymate is far and away the best. It's small, light, bright, attractive, durable, waterproof, burns for days on a set of batteries, and the LED is good for over 10 years. It comes with a pocket clip, a zipper clip, a lanyard and batteries. In addition to the titanium with white LED model, it's available in black with a white, green, or blue LED.
Its twist-on/off functionality can be operated with one hand and makes it hard to be accidentally switched on when bumped around in a pocket or bag; the only downside is that it can't easily be used for signalling. Another very minor point is that the pocket clip isn't reversible so it can't be clipped to the bill of a cap. Also keep in mind the beam is NOT focusable despite the twist-on/off switch; it employs brightness-enhancing reflector optics which wouldn't work with spot-to-flood focusing. See Steamlight's web site (http://www.streamlight.com/keymate_info.htm) for the facts. Also note their suggested retail price is about 15, so don't be fooled by sites that charge more or claim they're "discounting" it to 15!
The bottom line is, you will NOT find a better one-ounce flashlight!

The Streamlight KeyMate is brighter than the small MagLites, which is what I was looking for. For those who don't find it bright enough, check to make sure you have it turned on firmly. Mine lights before being fully on. If you want a tiny, bright, tough light, this is it.

Gave these as Christmas presents to co-workers. Great little light. Bright, small, bombproof. Everyone is using them and loves them. Highly recommended.

I love this flashlight for my keychain. It is small, durable, and very bright. This is my second one to own. I don't think I got as long of life as advertised from the first one, but it did last quite a while. These flashlights new are as cheap as the batteries it takes to run them. The thing I like most though is that unlike a lot of keylights you buy, you don't have to keep your finger pressed on a button to stay lit. You can just turn it on and it stays lit and works very well.
Best keychain light I've found so far May 26, 2009

This is the best keychain light I've yet found. It's compact enough to carry on my keychain at all times, yet bright enough to be useful. It's solidly-built, with an all-metal exterior (aside from the lens), and doesn't flex, bend, or crush with anything I've thrown at it. The clip, chain, and chain pivot connection are also metal and durable. The battery lasts for months under occasional use.
I use it when I need a light quickly or unexpectedly. It's not something I use for serious or heavy use, or when I need a lot of light. I use bigger flashlights for that. This might well be the flashlight I use to help me find that bigger flashlight, though!
I like this design in particular because it uses a twist-head on/off switch. I've had various push-button, slide-switch, and squeeze lights, but found they would always get turned on in my pocket as I sat on/against them. That killed the battery in short order. For some reason, the twist-head on this design doesn't have that problem. YMMV.
I used to own the "Black" color model, but after several months the black paint started to wear off unevenly, which looked crummy. Some time later, I lost the flashlight (I'm always loosing small things). This time, I went with the "Titanium" color. I believe "Titanium" really means "bare, polished metal", and thus won't have any half-worn paint problems.
