A flashlight with a tool mounting stud that is configured to receive a plurality of different types of commonly available tool bits. The tool mounting stud is positioned at substantially the center of a focusing lens of the flashlight and is retained in this position by a plurality of spokes which are connected to a lip formed around the outer surface of the focusing lens. The lens assembly of the flashlight is secured in position by a securing device which prevents rotation of the lens assembly relative the body of the flashlight during manipulation of a fastener by a user using the flashlight tool. In one embodiment, the securing device is comprised of at least one set screw which engages with both the lens assembly and the body to prevent rotation of the lens assembly. In another embodiment, the securing device is comprised of a groove formed on a section of the body and a tab formed on a section of the lens assembly which interact to inhibit rotation of the lens assembly.
