Default Need 3 hands....

It seems like all the work I do to my bike requires three hands. Two of them for doing the actual work and one just to hold the friggin' light!!!!

I still need to tackle taking my fairing off to install my garage door opener transmitter. A third hand would be perfect.

I like the LED lights that clip on the visor of a cap. Work great when I need the light, cheap enough and the batteries seem to last forever.

I bought something like this at LOWES: http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-LED-...ef=pd_sim_sg_1
It's LED lighting and angles to where you want the light.

What everybody else says...get a LED headlamp. Some will angle, and nobody's going to see you look like a geek when the garage door is shut
