Tools and Hardware Reviews of Striker Hand Tools 00-105 Magnetic Light Mine Hands-Free Task LightCustomer Review: Wasn't sure what this was at first. Now I know it's pretty useful Summary: 4 Stars
When I looked at the picture and product name I wasn't sure if it was a kids toy or a dog chew toy. Then I read the description, looked at the "Best Deals" price, and figured 'what the heck.'
Turns out this golf ball sized thing is pretty useful. The light, a single LED without any fancy reflector or electronics, is fairly bright. The switch works as a momentary contact* (press for on, let go for off) or you can slide it and the light stays on. Any of the 12 magnets are strong enough to easily lift one of these Titan 11020 Folding Pocket Utility Knife (Twin Pack - Red/Blue).
The beam is fairly wide. There is a 12" spread at distance of about 14". It's bright enough to easily read from 6' away. Like the description says, you can aim the light be setting it down or using the magnets to attach it to any (ferrous) metallic object. There are so many magnets that aiming the light where you want it to go is no problem.
I'm finding it handy even when I'm not using it as a flashlight. The strong magnets make it easy to keep screws and other hardware from wandering off while I'm working on something.
My only complaint is that the light has some among of sideways "spill" and can occasionally get annoying if not down right painful.
That minor annoyance aside, this light have found a permanent home in my tool bag.
* Update - I liked the first one so much I ordered another. Turns out the second one doesn't have the momentary contact feature I mentioned. So, either they changed the switch or, more likely, one of the two switches isn't working as intended. So, if you get one without a momentary contact feature and are disappointed then buy another and maybe you'll get lucky :).
