Rechargeable work light recommendations

[86Scotty]

Dang Dig, that's a serious piece of machinery!

2 thoughts: I can't buy any more Craftsmen lights and have just about given up on anything made by them in the last 20 years.
I've had 4 of their work lights crap out on me.

Second, I really like this little guy. Not rechargeable but I keep lots of AA and AAA's in my vehicles.

Nebo - 250 Lumens SLYDE LED Flashlight 190 Lumens Work Light (4 AAA Batteries Included) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XLUX6O8..._Ugi1yb79C1TKW

It's practically EDC for me, the magnet is powerful as well.

I found an Eastwood light that hits the mark for me, but I have read some reviews that claim the plastic can break easily.

Eastwood Professional Folding LED Light

I also found an online comparison review, and they actually gave the highest marks to the Harbor Freight one. I would go with the HF one, but I wish it would fold like the Eastwood one. I guess that's my decision point, whether I would ever take the light along in a vehicle, in which case I would prefer the folding Eastwood light, or if it's going to be used solely in the garage, in which case the HF is just fine.

At first I didn't even click on the HF link. Now I'm considering it.........

Don't forget that you can ALWAYS find 20% off coupons for HF. Sometimes, even 25% off coupons.

I ponied up and bought a Snap On LED rechargeable and permanently mounted it in the SMB. Cost me about $200.00 + but you do got what you pay for it is a quality light.

The previously posted Harbor Fright worklights pretty much stay in my shop...

I've got one of these too - nice and powerful and a cool/quirky design.

Battery powered - don't recall if it's magnetic or has stickum on the back.

Cool video on the manufacturer's website... Flip It !!

I've been using the HF light for a few months now.

Observations
It's big.
Good quantity of light, but the light output is more directional than I prefer.
The mounting hooks on the end are kind of a joke, unless you connect one side and let the light just hang.
The magnetic mounts on the end are kind of a joke.
Can't really comment on battery life, other than to say it's never died on me while using it (even on the High setting) after a couple of hours of runtime.
Takes a long time to charge, but the tradeoff is longer battery life.
For the price, it can't be beat, but it doesn't offer some of the features and refinements of more expensive versions.
