Tool review on a rechargeable shop light and a 2 AAA battery pen light by Streamlight.

Yes. Sometimes confirming the tools is needed to get to the correct repair. In electricity all is suspect!
I use the streamlight pen the most, but my garage doesn't have the best lighting so at home the large work light gets the most use. Then, the shop I worked at for a while didn't have the best lighting so I used it a lot there. At night that big light looks great and helps you see everything. Sunny day? The shadows are too bright for this AutoZone available light by Surebuilt to cut into that relatively light darkness. Also, the package said 15 hours of charging so while it's good to have, if you need it all day every day, you'll need like 3 of them (I've never been in dark holes enough to need it all day so two would do.).
For us outside Britain, they call flashlights torches. I've had many British online friends there and a few more in person, so I'm hoping the name torch will attract their attention.
Do I need a safety disclaimer on flashlights? They help you see. They are for safety. After I bought a pen flashlight for work I had to buy another since I always had it on me.
Don't be an idiot when plugging in the charger to the wall or use it to charge something other than what it's intended for.
Be safe, have fun, oh I mean get out there and work on something!
If you read this far I hope you've laughed.
Sincerely,
AutoBravado.
P.S. After the tool review I review half the issues on my 2004 Nissan Frontier. The knock sensor relocate is easier, but can it detect knock? There isn't low enough octane in my state to test. Anyone know of an octane reducer instead of booster? My only guess can be found in the conversation with my ever intelligent friend stuzman below.
