    These things, in particular these ones, you cant get any leverage on them, so you have to use a pair of pliers aswell. Then the damn black part fell out the end of a few of em now. Best getting the slightly larger ones with the rubber grip handles.
     
  6. ^^^^^^I have a set of these....only one of them has any value. Fits the screws in my glasses perfectly!

    I like those headlights too, I've been doing a lot of wiring under my dash and they sure come in handy,waiting for the bass fishermen to chime in about the headlights, I know several people who are up at 4 am getting the boat ready to go in the water, and they own a pile of those

    I have the hat style. Hardly ever use it woring on a car but all the time when plugging stuff into the back of my antique under desk tower computer.

    I'm thinking of buying both the crank up light and the cyclops headlight, combining them and then I would have a crank up headlight for the ultimate in fashion statement!
     
  15. Drill Doctors...Theres two of them sumbitches laying in the woods behind my shop..Flung that first sucker shortly after trying to sharpen a boxfull of dull bits...only made em duller

    Like a dumass ,went out and bought the SuperDeLuxe Overdrive 6speed neutron powered Drill Doctor...ruined the rest of the dull drill bits..so flung that puppy right down there in the woods next to its buddy

    Found its a lot cheaper just to buy new bits

    The headlamps are pretty handy up here .I use one all winter long .We get down to a couple of hours of day light up here so anytime I leave the house I make sure I have my Head lamp.

    Those hat-lamps are also great for finding your treestand at 5:30 AM. Tree branches to the face aren't as fun as they sound.

    I have the headband version also. It was issued to me, and it made working inside a pitch-black AC-130 Gunship easier, especially when you needed to use both hands. I have one in the glovebox of all my vehicles, never know when I'll need to change a tire or replace a slung fan belt in the dark on the side of the road by myself...
