PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Lumax

Magnetic LED Light
The reviewer says this light is
surprisingly bright for its size.

The Lumax Magnetic LED Light, No. LX-1436, attaches securely
to most hand tools and is ideal for use on grease guns, screwdrivers,
wrenches, pliers, ratchets, and more. The company says the strong magnets hold onto the tool securely during operation and won't fall off. Its
compact, lightweight design makes it easy to store and put in a toolbox.
The Magnetic LED Light has a long-life lithium battery that lasts up to
seven hours of continuous use. Batteries are included.

THE REVIEW:

A

light this small that's
designed to attach to a tool
is unlike anything Randy
Kaiser, technician at Rost Motors, Inc.
in Manson, Iowa has used before. For
this technician, he's used his fair share
of various sizes and styles of lights
before. Kaiser says the Lumax Magnetic
LED Light is a very handy size to take
along on any job.
" The light is small enough that you
can just grab it when you're grabbing
the tools that you need for whatever job
you are doing, " Kaiser says. " That way
you always have a light available, and it
saves going back to the bench or toolbox
to grab a light later on. "
The light is easy to use, with just one
on/off button, Kaiser notes. There are
two small button magnets on the bottom
that hold the light in place on whatever
tool is being used, such as a screwdriver,
pliers, ratchet, or wrench.
" You just stick it on the tool that you're
using, push the button, and you're ready
to go, " he says.

When the light arrived, it came in a
display package with a clear front and a
thin cardboard backing. The instructions
are printed on the back. Therefore, no
manual was included. Once taken out of
the package, a small plastic strip must be
pulled out so that the batteries make contact. The light will then be ready for use.
The technician used the Magnetic
LED Light mostly for working under
dashes and in other tight and confined
spaces where it was hard to get enough
light to properly see.
" The light is surprisingly bright for
its size, " he notes as an additional fea-

ture he likes. " It's
[also] very easy to take
with you. "
The light uses replaceable
batteries - a feature that Kaiser
would like to see updated. For this
technician, small button-type batteries
are not commonly found within his shop,
nor is a small screwdriver to fit the screws.
The batteries can offer up to seven
hours of continuous use. Often times, as
Kaiser notes, technicians forget to turn
lights off and when they go to use them
again, the batteries are dead.
To avoid this scenario, Kaiser suggests
rechargeable batteries or a common size
battery. However, he understands that
these would probably increase the size
of the tool and possibly the cost. Another
idea that would be handy, Kaiser suggests, is wireless charging.
Overall, the unique qualities of the
Lumax Magnetic LED Light, namely the
ability to attach to tools, along with its
brightness, were features this technician
greatly enjoyed.
