Striker OO105 Magnetic LED Light-Mine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love the concept of this little light. However, a cheap plastic switch kills the reliability. I switched mine on, it worked. Switched it off, then switched it on again. Dead! The light will only stay on if I apply constant pressure on the switch. I was excited to receive this product but was immediately disappointed. Product lifetime = less than one minute.
I give the product a 2nd star only because the company, Risk Racing/Striker, was willing to send me a new unit without requiring that I send back the bad one. I look forward to receiving the replacement, but even so, I have doubts about the durability of this product and its reliability in a rough environment.
I guess you can't ask for much, given the price. Honestly, it is such a unique and cool concept that I would have spent more than double the $7 I spent to own a unit that is more dependable.

Though not much smaller than a golf ball, the new Striker Magnetic LED Light is a powerful spotlight that can be used almost anywhere you need illumination. It has an intensely bright, wide angle LED and 12 powerful rare earth (neodymium) magnets that allow you to stick it to any steel surface or rest it on any surface and aim the light towards the workspace at almost any angle. Professionals, including automotive technicians, electricians, plumbers and HVAC contractors, will want to have one on hand, as it is small enough to fit into tight areas and aim a powerful beam of light where it is needed most. Because of its 12 rare earth magnets, it also works as a pick up tool for dropped screws, nails and hardware. Do-it-yourselfers and homeowners will also find hundreds of uses for the Striker Magnetic LED Light. Use it when working on an engine, changing a tire, wiring a home theater, switching on a breaker, crawling around under a counter or sink. It will stick to the fridge, making it the go-to flashlight for the whole family, and its great to have on camping trips. The potential uses are endless.

Dremel FL400 Flex Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)At first I got this just to fill that empty void in my XPR case, but it has come in handy for more than just dremel use.
There have been several times when I needed to get a light into a very tight place and this thing just fit right in there and still gave me plenty of room to get a look.
One example was with my central air unit. I didn'y want to pull off the entire back of the AC but there was a small plate about a 1/4 inch wide that slid off, so I slid off that plate and stuck this dremel light in there and was able to see perfectly into the unit the see what the problem was before going any further. All the problem was was a small piece of plastic that got in there somehow and I was able to get it with one of those long claw pickup tools through the slot with the light clipped to the edge.
If it wasn't for this little dremel light I would have pulled my central air all apart to find that annoying buzzing.

Streamlight 65618 Stylus Reach Pen Light with Flexible Cable, Black with Arctic White Beam Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you've ever worked in confined spaces (under a car's dash, behind a sink, inside an appliance, etc.), you know that at times even small flashlights are too big. Sometimes you need a small light that can wrap around obstructions and light obscured areas.
Until now, in these situations I have used a "Bend-A-Light" that is similar to the Stylus Reach. The standard Bend-A-Light retails for about the same price as the Stylus Reach, so a comparison of the two is useful.
The Bend-A-Light is larger and slightly heavier. Its flexible neck is longer than that of the Stylus Reach (9.5" vs. 7.5" from bulb tip to flashlight body). However, the effective reach of the Stylus Reach is greater because its body is only slightly wider than its flexible neck (owing to its use of super-small "AAAA" batteries). The body of the Bend-A-Light houses "AA" batteries and is over twice as thick.
The Stylus Reach also features an aircraft aluminum casing (vs. the Bend-A-Light's plastic body), a MUCH more flexible neck that is shielded and insulated with PVC, up to 60 hours of run time on one set of three "AAAA" batteries (included), momentary "blink" or constant-on switching, and it's waterproof! Moreover, it has an unbreakable LED light that burns cool and is as bright or brighter than the Bend-A-Light's fragile, incandescent bulb.
[I should mention that there is a considerably longer (24"), brighter Bend-A-Light called the "Krypton Pro Bend-A-Light." However, I have no experience with it.]
I am exceptionally impressed with the brightness and quality of the Stylus Reach. It is one of those items that nobody knows they need until they have it. It would make a great gift for any do-it-yourselfer or tech geek.
If Streamlight would make a version of the Stylus Reach with a longer neck, I'd happily buy it, too.

Let's say you're working on your car and you drop a crucial part down below the engine block. You can't see where it went, and your regular flashlight won't fit into the narrow spaces around your engine. Time to dismantle your car in the hope that you'll recover the part? Of course not! Simply grab your Streamlight Stylus Reach pen light, extend the flexible cable, then thread it around the hoses to get a better look.
Whether you're looking for lost auto parts, wayward nuts and bolts, or a spent fuse, this is a handy little light. The high-intensity LED (10 lumens) is mounted at the end of a flexible PVC cable that allows you to get light into very tight spots. The cable may be extended from seven to 14 inches if you need a little more reach. The durable LED will last up to 100,000 hours, and you'll get up to 60 hours of illumination from the included three AAAA alkaline batteries.--Josh Dettweiler
