Great worklight. - Streamlight Knucklehead Multi-Purpose Worklight

This is the second one of these I have purchased. The first couldn't withstand a 12 foot drop to the floor, but then it isn't designed for that. The light is very bright and can last almost an 8 hour day. It will go to "moonlight" mode when the battery gets low.

It does have a wide beam which I like. Provides plenty of light for under vehicle inspection or work. The articulating head really allows the light to be positioned just right and allowing two handed work.

The magnet is very powerful. So much so that the small screws that hold the back plate on tend to loosen as you repeatedly pull the light off a metal surface. Can't really pull it straight off kind of have to pry it using the body as a lever. Streamlight should really use threaded inserts and machine screws to attach, rather than coarse screws just screwed into the plastic. Mine flexed too many times and finally the back plate started to crack. Made a call to Streamlight and they sent a replacement. The thicker the steel the more it sticks. Hoods, fenders, and such don't pose a problem, medium and heavy duty truck frames, all I can say it wow. I actually forgot to get it off a vehicle once and it went down a very bumpy country road for a 15 mile test drive. Found it just where I left it 30 minutes later.

Make sure your fingers are out of the way when you get it near good steel, more than once I pinched mine. To help alleviate some of the pull from the magnet I just keep a zip tie wrapped around the body and the magnet. Doesn't grab quite as strong but I don't have to worry about it breaking either.
