Looking for suggestions on a good cordless LED worklight that doesn't cost a fortune and has hooks that will not easily 'break off'. Also something cross compatible if possible to take camping and use during a power outage, use while painting a dark closet etc.

Have been looking on Amazon but wondered if anyone has a good suggestion. Thanks.

PS- was looking for a 'Tools' section to put this in, but maybe I just can't find it?

Tired of monkeying around w/ the cord from my standard plug in trouble light (one like below). Works fine much of the time but inevitably I end up tripping over the cord, or cord gets caught under a tire etc. PITA

 

They're hawking a portable LED light on late night TV that works for both the applications that you want. Can't come up with the name of it but it's only about $20.

 

I use this all the time, for vehicle maintenance, home projects... even backpacking once in a while. It's lightweight, bright, and keeps my hands free and the light focused on what I'm looking at. Won't be without one again!

I agree with RV. Headlamps are always great to have but if you're looking for more light but a bigger price tag milwaukee has some nice 12 and 18 volt leds. I am a Milwaukee believer but Dewalt and others have the same. I would take note of what other tool manufactures have, so down the line when you buy another cordless tool you will want to use the same batteries and charger.

 

thanks. already have multiple headlamps, have used for years on the road. Not quite what I'm looking for.

 

I have this one and it works fine for my needs: http://www.sears.com/craftsman-cordl...1&blockType=G1


You can plug it in if needed and the magnet/clip rotates too.

 

You can't beat this cliplight

 

I have the trouble light like you have shown but changed out the bulb with a LED that has 3 or 4 rows of bulbs. just replaces the regular bulb. I went the route of the rechargeable and eventually went back to using the 120v stuff .
