I was wondering how good those LED works lights are; let us know how it holds up.

mine isnt the same brand but looks the same, after a couple months of use mine seems dull and very the plastic covering is very scratched up

I've got a 60-LED Astro brand drop light which is much brighter than that one, but the battery is good for less than 30 minutes. Those have a better run-time but are much dimmer.

Cordless droplights are great for short-term things like changing a cabin filter under the dash, or chaning a tie-rod end.

If I'm pulling a CV axle out or working on a cylinder head, I grab a corded one.

lasts around 6 hours at least..seems too get dim when the battery is low. i'll see how it does with a full charge in the morning!

did intake gaskets in a g3500, stayed on the whole time!

I have a real cheap no name cordless, works great. The only issue is the plastic body is very brittle.

Also, great for fuel pump jobs! If you would have seen the sparks that flew, when one of the guys nicked the cord of the regular...............

Something to check: At HD/Lowes where the flourescent fixtures are, they sell an "impact guard' for like $5 that's just a clear plastic tube meant to slip over the bulb. It looks about the right size to slide over an LED droplight.

My thinking was to get a 4' one and cut a piece ~12" long to slip over my droplight. When it got too scratched up in a couple of months, just peel it off & cut myslef another one.

Do a drop test and see which one is brighter then
