yes, very bright. Provided it doesnt eat batteries it will make a great pocket light. Its assembled in USA as opposed to made in USA but still not China like the Stylus Pro which i was also considering. The only thing im skeptical about is how well the anodizing will hold up.

I've never seen Channellock locking pliers before. Any more info on them?

They're rebadged Grip-On locking pliers. These are NOS and they're not carried anymore. I'm not sure of dates, but I do know that it was at least a couple years ago that Channellock rebadged them and sold them. Somewhat similar to how Snap-On currently utilizes Grip-On locking pliers right now.

They are discontinued rebrands of Grip-On's. No longer available.
EDIT:
Doh! Too slow...

I been on a roll for the past several weeks. I bought the purple screwdrivers from a Japan seller and was very happy that they had a safe overseas trip. The Red and Blue mini screwdrivers were from Ebay and the Green Torx were NOS from my SO dealer. The Red and Green have never been used. The large Blue screwdriver was given to me by a friend of mine who is in the repo business and found it in a car that someone turned in to the bank for non payment.

Do you always play with your tools in the bathroom?

^^ haha someone always mentions something about me taking the pictures in the bathroom. But at night, it's the best place for lighting in the house. Mainly because I'm lazy and don't feel like hooking up the flash, or light stands and drapes...

Picked this up yesterday.
Working on BMW 325CI replacing evaporator and suction line. Anyway, the line bolts are 6mm hex; using my HF 6mm hex bit, I round off one bolt, I have to use a torx to finish getting the bolt out. OK, no problem it happens. On to the next one; same thing, ok no big deal. Well, ****!!! Third one, same thing. I suppose I should have stopped after the first one? Definitively after the second time, right?
So I call my Mac guy, "I need a hex set, where are you?"
He says, "I can be there in 30 minutes."
So he gets here, and has a semi-long metric and SAE set for $250, but the case is dirty (really dirty, like diesel oil on it,) and it's missing one key (3/32.) I ask him to order a new set, but I will pay for it in full and take the 6mm for now. He says, "I will knock $50.00 off, and order the missing key."
Well ****, now I know I can beat the price down. Kind of feel bad, asking him to come out of his way on a day that's not my day for him to stop by. But, money is money, and he and I both know I am going to buy a lot more ****.
So, I say "Nah, you know me, I really want a mint case, just order a new set."
He responds, "You know you have a serious problem."
"Yup" Laughing.
"Ok, $150.00"
"Deal!"
I am also getting a couple of free T-shirts and hats. I was wearing a HF shirt at the time. He asked why I was wearing it. I said, "it was free and its a work shirt."
He asked what size I was (Large.) Didn't have large on his truck, so he said he'd order a couple for me, and some hats.
So, back to the tools... I measure the HF hex bit, 5.91mm at the top (above the line on the bit,) 5.97mm below the line, WTF?
Mac, 6mm on the dot.
I also notice the top corner edges of the HF bit are turned down. Not sure if that has any bearing on the situation?
Cleaned the case up, looks way better (still have to clean it more; yeah I know, I have a problem, LOL)
Oh, and the Mac hex worked great on the rest, felt much better in my hand also. Now I have to go to Home Depot to buy some replacement bolts. Maybe I will grab some more Channellocks while I'm there?
EDIT: I will order a full set of standard length, stubby, and extra long hex on Monday, and the swivel hex sets while I'm at it.

RalloZ35: My dad had one of them when I was a kid. Boy did I mistreat that thing. It was still working fine a year or so ago when he gave it to a guy he works with. They are extremely tough.
