Engine flashlight or battery powered work light

Wonder if there are any preferences on glovebox sized lights with a magnet that is good to use in the engine area or to stick on the frame while out in the dirt roads or camping. For repairs while on the road. Thanks for suggestions.

 

theres a thousand mechanic flashlights out there, go and buy one.

 

I keep a headlamp in my center console. Runs on 3 AAA’s for many many hours, and the light is always where I need it.

 

If I wanted a crappy light I would, not what the question was smart guy.

 

Aside from headlamps, I forgot I have a pair of these in the toolbox. Almost too bright, but pretty versatile.

That and it can be recharged in the truck, makes them perfect.

Not a flash light but it’s a good option to consider

Then what was the question?

You wanted a handsfree light. The options are endless. Pick one that's within your budget and run with it.

For what it's worth, the very best work light I ever owned was a 10 dollar headband.

 

You really need more than just one light. I like a headband type light for hands free light of exactly where I'm looking for one. I also use a Streamlight Waypoint spotlight for longer range an larger field of light. It has a built in support allowing you to sit it somewhere with the beam pointed where you need it.
