    Rechargeable trouble light

    Does anyone out there have any suggestions for this. I have seen two at
    Sears but are there better ones? As always your help is appreciated.

    i think the best bet for this is to get a flashlight that takes the same battery as your cordless drill.

    Since the battery is the component that will fail it gives you some flexibility as to how spares are used and managed and keeps you from cluttering up the place with chargers, too.

      Another option is the windable led flashlights. Never have to worry about batteries going dead!

        I don't know what two you found at Sears, but I know about a couple of Sears ones. The 30? led rechargable one, is NOT well made, in the fact the first drop will break the entry part where it charges. (that is a protruding tip, that isn't supported)

        They have a corded one on a reel, that has a major design flaw. Even when not turned on, the power continues to flow to it in a way that the electronices burn up.

          Sears Model 73904 has been great.

          One Sunday afternoon this past summer I needed a little more light when replacing the fuel filter on out van, this light was great. With the magnet it easily attached to the floorpan and I could see those stupid new clips that are used on the fuel filters. Unfortunately I forgot to remove the light from the floorpan, finally on Tuesday after it went to work (60 miles roundtrip) twice with my wife, I looked under the van and there it was, still turned on and closed to being out of power.

          Hope it works as well for other people,
