I don’t know if DeWalt updated the design, but my 3D can be store vertically on the head or tailcap with no problems. There are no holes or other ways of attaching a lanyard or loop to the tailcap. Someone handy with a drillpress should be able to add one easily though. As far as DeWalt phasing out the anti-roll head, I just don’t know. I’ve not seen any press releases on it, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t made that decision.

Thanks again for the feedback.

Unfortunately, over many years I have developed the habit of storing my old police flashlight, which has a large reflector, upright or vertical on a shelf. This is not possible with the DeWalt. And your review completely omits to mention whether the DeWalt has a tailcap ring for hanging which is the only other storage method I’ve used. Even the manufacturer failed to say if there is a ring. No one has said if there is even a hole provided for a lanyard!

So can you tell me–Is a ring for hanging something I’m going to have to machine into the DeWalt 3-D flashlight myself?

And one other question: Is the current DeWalt being phased out next year for a design eliminating that great hexagonal anti-roll head?
