My girlfriend has been askin me what I want for my upcoming birthday. Well since yesterday I left my Matco light under a truck I did a diagnostic on, so I figure it would be time to go ahead an get a new one. She said she would buy it if I told her which one I wanted. I'm looking for something rechargeable, bright, and preferably magnetic (not a deal breaker). Just want something that will last a bit. My last one wa a small magnetic Matco one that had an indexable head.
Doesn't matter who it's from, just wanna hear all opinions you guys have. If it's cheap maybe I can get more than one :rocker:

I have the above posted light. The charge doesn't hold very long at all, and isn't very bright either.
My fiance got it for me for Christmas one year. I don't ever reach for it anymore.

I've had good luck with it holding a charge. It isn't the brightest though. I only paid $18 during one of Sears online sales. If I'm working for any period of time more than 20-30 minutes on something I usually use a corded light. If this is for a primary shop light I would spend more money for something brighter.

I like to use whatever adjustible head LED worklight that takes the same battery packs my cordless drill or impact takes.
