New Work light That I really like.

[Dozerboy]

I’ve never really been happy with the work lights out on the market. It just seems like they never get light where you want it. I found this light months ago before starting my head gaskets and I absolutely love it. Battery life could maybe be a little better, but works good for me. It’ll charge your phone to supposedly, but I don’t know how well that works. I tried it once, but maybe I was doing something wrong. Reading the instructions would probably help.

Rechargeable Personal Work Light - 56403 | Klein Tools

Klein Tools' Rechargeable Personal Work Light is an LED light that goes wherever you go. Not only does this hard-working light rotate completely while it stands, hangs, hooks, mounts and clips, it charges your phone too. You can easily check the battery life with the gauge, but don’t worry, on...

I just ordered one.

Is the magnet strong enough to hold it where you want it?

watch the video. It looks strong to me.

Appears that way but god knows how many times marketing videos are overdone compared to the final product.

I got one coming, im known to drop or throw things so we’ll see how it holds up

I have one similar to what's listed. Got it from my MacTools guy. LED with magnet mount. Recharges via USB. Battery lasts quite a while. Its bright as hell and works very well.

I have one similar from Milwaukee i use when under vehicles and under the hood if i dont use a clamp on overhood light. Its usb chargeable and holds the battery for quite some time even on the highest setting.

It sticks to the sheet metal on my 06 good as long as you have it sitting pretty flat. The base isn’t very compact, so when you try and stick it in a curved fender well it’s not so great. But I was always able to find somewhere I could stick it in angle the light the right way or clip it on a wiring harness.

Nobody asked if I was sponsored.... i’m too ugly to do a YouTube channel so I got to capitalize on social media somehow...lol

My truck has a coated bed and the magnet doesn't stick too well to it. But there are plenty of hooks and loops in the bed and the light mounts anywhere. I am very happy with it.

This is my favorite work light. Fits into tight places and works great. Astro 65SL

I've heard great things about the Astro lights, and the original Klein light discussed in this thread looks really nice too.

FWIW, Harbor Freight has a similar thing, lists at $40 but comes on sale regularly for $25 or so in their ads so it's a pretty great deal. They have an aggressively strong magnet at the base. The pivoting light head and USB charging is nice, but I wish it ran longer than ~2 hours on high.

I have that Harbor Freight light and also the one that has the wand, flashlight head and tiny spot light. For the sale prices they’re good. Don’t know if I’d pay full price for them. Magnet is strong for sure. I like that it’s small and I can stick it under my tops side creeper and lights up what you’re working on pretty good.

I have the same Hazard Fart light going on 2 years. I am honestly surprised it still works considering I have dropped it at least a dozen times from around 10'. The battery that comes with it is not very good so I replaced it with a much better one.

I love this light but also only bought when it was on sale. I used it yesterday to replace the fuel hoses on the passenger side. worked great.
