Hand held work light

[Rc_Guy]

I've been on forums a long time, can't figure out how to search, need the best LED trouble light or work light, whatever they call them today.

Put a new starter on 2018 Silverado yesterday and my 25 year old trouble light *****.

I’ve been using these when I need a small light. Recharge lasts a good long time and I think they are a heck of a deal.

If I need more I’ll probably order the “advanced” ones to see if the magnet is stronger - they weren’t around when I got the first ones.

Also, this is another inexpensive one that looks to be worth a shot, but I really like how small the other ones are to get light where I need it

Between those little ones and my M12 “Rover” light, I am pretty much covered with what I need.

This rechargeable one with the magnetic base is GREAT. https://www.harborfreight.com/390-L...tKl7JLJdWO9h2DmhTqwHnt9Q94_ePpioaAoVXEALw_wcB

I don't know how I ever got along without it..........seriously!

I just changed the old lightbulbs in my troublelights to 16w 1650 lumens LED light bulbs. And, they're plastic.
Good as new and just a couple dollars.

x2 for the Braun from HF. Amazing light for the money. Wait for a sale or a 25% coupon.

My go-to also. Another benefit is that the battery is easily replaceable, and is a common 18650 3.7v Li. You can get a couple of batteries and a charger cheap and keep the light up and running without having to recharge the light itself.

Good strong magnet, lamp swivels and tilts. A good deal at $27 imho.

I think it’s made by Astro Pneumatic, which if true is why it’s so good. I also have one and love it

I have 2 and they are great. My only complaint is, they don't hold a charge long enough. The benefit of having 2.

My Wife bought me one of these about three years ago at Wal Mart. It is a pretty decent light. Battery life is fine and I like the hang up hook. Also has magnetic base. The one she bought crapped out a couple of months ago but I replaced it with the same thing.

Since we are already into the Bosch system of 18V cordless tools, with several tools and plenty of batteries, I got this handy worklight. Bosch GLI18V-420B bare tool.

When I was still putting fire sprinklers in, we used Bosch tools but I retired August 1 so I need some of my own tools at home now and we had that same light, those lights are great and they sit where you put them

x3 on this one. I have a few of them by now, picked up at the sales. Very versatile light and I hardly ever use any wired lights anymore, or even my big under-hood light as these are most often all that's needed!
