Mechanics Tools Lighting

The UV413330 rechargeable Freedom-Lite from UVIEW, eliminates the need for corded lights. It’s now three times brighter and provides a clean white light and delivers the equivalent of 13 Watts of fluorescent brightness or 40 Watts of incandescent brightness. The 30 LEDs produce super-bright white non-glare direct lighting. It also produces very little heat so energy waste is minimized while the risk of technicians being burned or car parts or mechanics tools being damaged is practically eliminated.

This rechargeable cordless trouble light has a nickel metal hydride battery that takes charge after charge after charge. A single one-hour charge provides full brightness for 2-1/2 hours and as high as 5 hours of continuous use. Since most people use these lights intermittently, the actual lighting time between charges is even greater.

Once the UV413330 is 95% charged, the Smart Charger automatically reduces to a trickle charge so there’s practically no chance of over charging the light.

As expected from professional quality mechanics tools, the people at UVIEW made sure that all the small but essential features are present. Swivel hooks for easy positioning, rubber handle with non-slip ribbed grip and a tough, durable glass lense protects the light in practically every environment it’s ever likely to encounter. It’s strong enough to survive being driven over by a vehicle yet is only 1-7/8” in diameter.

The AP6300 cordless inspection light by Astro Pneumatic is a bright, flexible and dependable addition to any technicians collection of mechanics tools. Each unit has 30 bright white non-glare LEDs that illuminate an area with the same lighting brightness as 550 Lumens and each LED can be expected to last up to 100,000 hours.

Of course, the unit is shatterproof and shockproof and water resistant so it’s as tough as any mechanics tools you’re likely to find for illuminating a work area. In addition to the small size (less then a pound and a half) there’s a swivel hanging hook; both features that allows technicians to easily position the light where it’s needed. It’s also very ergonomically designed for comfort and durability - it’s one of those mechanics tools that just “feels good” in your hand.

A too-often overlooked feature in quality rechargeable lighting is the type of battery; it’s generally inside, out of sight and out of mind - but it matters. The Astro Pneumatic AP6300 uses nickel-metal hydride batteries so there’s no memory effect like in common nickel cadmium batteries - every full charge takes these batteries to their full capacity just as though they were brand new.

When batteries are beginning to need recharging the unit illuminates a warning light that gives technicians plenty of warning that it’s time to put the unit into the recharging station for a while. The recharging station can be mounted on the wall, a desk or counter top and uses standard 110V AC power. The full battery recharge is about three hours and a full charge will deliver about six hours of rechargeable light.

The SL65076 is a great combo pack that includes a Black Stylus® and Stylus Reach®.  The Stylus® alkaline battery-powered pen light has the same great features as the Stylus® but has a flexible cable extension, allowing you to get deep into the tightest spots.  With a waterproof, aircraft aluminum casing and a tough PVC shielded cable, the Stylus Reach® is built to illuminate those unforgiving, hard-to-reach areas.  It’s unbreakable!  With a 100,000-hour LED -which never needs replacing - is available in white or blue.  This bright LED penlight has a battery life 20x greater than a standard flashlight and goes anywhere you need it.  The elegant Stylus® LED pen light combines the convenience of an ultra-slim flashlight with a high intensity LED which lasts 100,000 hours.  Its waterproof, machined aluminum case has a momentary blink switch plus constant “on”.  Each Stylus® features a pocket clip as well as a lifetime warranty.  Carry Stylus® anywhere.  It’s the dependable, comfortable lighting companion.

When you’re in the dark, this should be the first light you reach for. The DeWalt DC527 area light will flood a work area with white fluorescent lighting or light up an engine compartment with ease. It stands on it’s own 18V battery that acts as a base or will hang from a hook; whatever is best for the particular lighting requirement at hand. You’ll be glad you have this rechargeable light among your professional mechanics tools.

The 18V battery setup is especially attractive because it adds extra life to a charge and is certainly easier than hooking up to a generator and running extension cords from someplace else - just hit the switch and it produces the light to get the job done.

The 13W fluorescent bulb produces light equal to about 40W incandescent so you get plenty of lighting in the darkest areas. Fluorescent bulbs are easily changed. A twist & Lock tool-free lense cover comes off and goes back on with ease.

The lens cover is over molded so there’s extra protection for the lens cover and the fluorescent bulb it protects and there’s a pre-heat circuit built in that helps eliminate blackening at the base of the bulb. Frankly the DeWalt DC527 is the near perfect rechargeable light but it’s a good idea to have a backup. There’s a price to be

paid for those brilliant bright white LEDs and that price is the fact that when the battery finally does run down (some hours later), the lights immediately go off. They don’t fade first, thereby warning you of impending failure, it just shuts off.  That’s not a bad thing as long as you’re aware of it and have a backup light of some sort or an extra fully charged 18V battery among your mechanics tools. That isn’t asking too much for an excellent cordless light; after all, you keep spare light bulbs on hand for that old incandescent drop light, right?

The Stylus® are bright LED pen lights that have a battery life 20x greater than a standard flashlight and goes anywhere you need it.  The cases come in colors of black, gold, silver, flame finish, blue, and red.  The ultra-slim Stylus® pen light has a high-intensity LED that lasts 100,000 hours.  The LED’s that are available for the Stylus® are in white (10 lumens), red (1.13 lumens), blue (.71 lumens), green (2.6 lumens), and ultraviolet (375 nm).  The Stylus® pen lights are powered by 3 “AAAA” alkaline batteries and have a run time of up to 60 continuous hours.  Push tail button for momentary operation.  Rotate tail cap for steady “on.”  Try to keep the tail cap O-rings and threads lubricated with silicone grease for a long lasting pen light.  The Stylus® pen lights come with a pocket clip for easy access.

If the light is aligned with your eyes, it lights up wherever you look. That’s the concept that makes Streamlight headlamps the among the most convenient and useful lighting devices in any technicians mechanics tools collection.

The SL61049 includes three LED and a xenon bulb in the same reflector so it has lighting flexibility that actually equals the portability of a light that sits on your head and illuminates wherever you look. It’s great for those shadow areas that larger lights can’t get to and it’s totally hands free so it doesn’t make the job at hand more difficult than necessary.

Mechanics can select the amount of light that’s best for any particular job. Use just the xenon bulb, use one white LED or use three LED bulbs. Light can also be focused to illuminate the best radius of lighting demanded by technicians - just adjust from spot to flood focus to get that perfect amount of light exactly where you want it. The light is mounted in a tilting head that adjusts an additional 90° which adds even more lighting options to a technicians arsenal of mechanics tools that saves valuable time.

Using the single LED mode, mechanics can expect to get up to 150 hours of run time on a single installation of 3 AAA alkaline batteries (which, by the way, are included with the Streamlight SL61049 headlamps. LED’s themselves can be expected to last up to 100,000 hours.

The light also comes with an adjustable elastic head strap and rubber hard hat strap to provide even more preferential options to mechanics.
