Work Gloves?

 

I prefer Venom Steel nitrile gloves for detailing and mechanic work. I get them at Lowes.

 

Anyone know if the Jack stand recall is still valid? I never took mine in last year (didn’t use them either)

 

That almost took them down. I would assume they would run and grab em from you in a sec for a replacement.

 

yeah, true. Good point!

 

That's the older one that I have. I quoted it earlier. Looks like it's 845 lumens vs the 1200 lumens in the newer version. Regardless, still would use other magnetic lights over this if given the option.

 

Just asked about this on the last page. Response that I got was that the recall was still valid as long as the tags are still legible on the stand to verify model, etc. I plan on attempting the exchange in the next few weeks.

 

Yep, getting cold

I used nitrile gloves too, but my hands get too sweaty too fast

 

What I hate about most magnetic lights is they are a small source of light. No matter where you put them you always end up blocking the light. With this, or something similar, your hands don't block the light for the very thing you are trying to see

 

Wouldn't that happen with the hood light linked earlier (regardless of being attached with magnets)?

 

The one I linked?

No, not for me. There is what, 2' of lighting, so regardless of where my hands or arms are I'm not blocking the entirety of the light source.

 

Correct. I'd almost just go with 2 or 3 of the magnetic units. Like I said, I have the older one and haven't used it in years. Just not enough light output to make it worthwhile IMO...

 

Let us know how it works for you.

 

Crap… why’d you have to post this???

I was just about to say I’m seriously looking at the US General 56” top & bottom boxes.

 

Think it's a one time use coupon. Probably been used by now.

 

It's on their actual ad/website.

 

Would make for decent savings on a $900 tool box…

 

Doesn't work on tool chests, sorry y'all, should have use the 20% off ITC coupon last week with no exclusions.
