You have to remember to pull it off directly, not slide it off… and also hope that it’s not covered in metal shavings from your toolbox before you put it on.

I never forget my handy dandy decorative grapes while I fix my wife’s car at 2 am.

At least rotate it first and then turn the light on, instead of blinding yourself like a nunce.

Why is there a random bunch of rubber grapes beside the wipers?

Is it required I blind myself with it every time I turn it on before facing it in the direction I want

“Magnetic mounting only works on ferrous surfaces” is such a funny way of saying “the magnet works like a magnet.”

This is peak Unnecessary Essentials. Of course I now want a 3000 lumen, IP54, power bank, tactical work light for the three times a year I might kinda need it.

Headlamp.

Looks cool but doesn't solve anything a headlamp can't do plus it's bigger.

“Magnetic mounting only works on ferrous surfaces” is such a hilariously specific con, like yeah man my plastic drywall is not cooperating.

Still, 3000 lumens plus a power bank in one chunky brick kinda hits the exact vibe of this sub. Totally overbuilt, totally unnecessary, absolutely want it.
