Q: How has using this tool impacted
your shop's profitability?
A: Being able to see component failures
and repair them with confident visibility
equals increased sales and productivity.
Q: What kind of setup was involved
before using the product?
A: No setup was required other than
charging the light. I charge the battery
once every day when leaving work. The
battery lasts me all day.
Q: How was its packaging? Did it
come with any accessories?
A: The product was packaged well. The
flashlight came with a USB-C charger
and A/C adapter. Everything needed was
included.
Q: Was there a manual included? If
so, did you use the manual, and was
the manual easy to understand?
A: Yes. The small manual included instructions
on changing the different modes the
light offered.
Q: What features did you like?
A: The magnet on this tool is the strongest
magnet I have ever experienced on a flashlight.
There is no fear of the flashlight falling
to its demise onto the concrete below
if accidentally " bumped " when working
on a vehicle.
Q: Is there any way you could think
to improve or add to this tool?
A: The addition of a UV light would be nice
for A/C leak detection. Wireless charging
would be convenient as well.
Q: What types of jobs/repairs
did you use this tool for?
A: I use this light frequently every day.
Q: How does this tool compare to
other tools you've used like it?
A: I have many flashlights. Almost too many.
This tool is in my top five favorites. The
strong pivoting magnet is the biggest standout
feature I observed. There are no more
arguments with your helper holding your
flashlight! Let the magnet hold it where
you need it.
Q: On a scale of 1 to 10, how would
you rate this tool overall? Why?
A: I would rate this tool a 10. The flashlight
performs well, is very rugged, and
properly sized.
