Led Flashlight Headlamp
What is a good flashlight for handyman type work?
I used to really like my snake light by B&D, but it died a long time ago, and I read that the recent LED version isn't so great. I've been using a headlamp sometimes, but they are kind of a pain in winter when I have a hat on.
Thanks!
I like using the head-lamp, and they work fine with my hats.
I have a hand held 2xAA Aluminum flashlight, and a 18V one that uses my cordless drill batteries (it can set on a surface and .the light can twist around.)
Another consideration might be an LED trouble light you hang to light your work.
I also have plug in work lights, both in hanging incandescent and fluorescent lamps, and a halogen flood light.
