Under hood light recommendation

[brihvac]

I am looking for a decent under the hood rechargeable LED under the hood light. Not a full time mechanic so I wont be using it everyday. I would like to have the spring loaded one that clips onto the outer edges of the hood. Obviously I do not want to break the bank. My friend has a Blue Point one but its a little high priced for me.
Recommendations?

I recently picked up a Saber (ATD Tools) corded LED light. I really like it. They have a couple of different versions, including a corded/cordless kit. Look for ATD-80355.

They have similar construction, with large padded hooks that extend and rotate. I've had mine under the hood of a Ford Fusion and hanging off the roof of a Chevy Tahoe for interior work and in either case hanging the light took just a few seconds and adjusted easily.

I haven't looked up the Blue Point price, but most of ATD's line seems to hug the $100 mark pretty close.

If that's still a bit much, you might consider something like the Neiko 40464A. It's a handheld light with two hooks and a magnet. It's under $40 and has served me very well, despite several drops and scrapes.

I have the bluepoint, yes it's expensive. but if your a hobbie mechanic like me take care of it and should last a lifetime.

I've got the one in your picture, the Nightstick. It does a good job IMO.
