I believe the is the Snap On "Licensed" version, which means it is just some off brand wearing the name.

SouthCoastMudder is correct. That is a licensed product and not serviced by the traditional Snap-on sales channels. I have no experience with that light. If you buy that light do not expect to receive any warranty service from a dealer on it if you have any problems.

Chad, which of the true Snap-On cordless led lights would you recommend? I have been wanting one for awhile now but haven't really been able to find many reviews on lights.

BTW, made and account with you for a pink ratcheting screwdriver the other day hope it went through.

I have both the cliplight 3 led and national electric 48 led, they both work very well, cliplight is much brighter and more compact. Both have excellent battery life.

there is a blue point light coming out for about 74 bucks, but of course I have no info on it yet. 25 led and a hook at one end and a magnet at the other. cordless If I get more info I will pass it along
I have steered away from the cordless style lights. ( unless the batteries are replaceable)
too many failures

I sell more Streamlight Stinger LED flashlights than anything else/

3 a week on average chad. I have one left and it should be gone by tomorrow morning.
they are BRIGHT. 160 lumens and the longer version with the DS dual switch has become popular all of the sudden

I ordered the 3 LED Version of the Cliplight and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed at this price point. It doesn't seem particularly bright and battery life is just OK (rated at 3 hours for 3 LED version, but seems to fade much sooner than that). It is brighter than another 30 LED light that cost 1/4th the price, but not that much brighter. Cliplight compares the 3 LED output to a 75 watt bulb, I'm not sure I agree it matches that but didn't compare it side by side. Of course, a 75 watt bulb isn't very bright to start with, so it may well be a case of my expectations being too high, but thought I would pass along my impressions in case it helps others.

and

I use them both quite often, they're great for just about everything. They're built extremely well and the charge lasts all day. I picked up two cheaper Craftsman versions and took them both back, they were very linear and didn't produce enough of a flood.
