AmPro T19701 6 LED Flashlight with Magnetic Pick-up Tool Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this along with a similar product from amazon with the idea that I'd keep the best one for myself and give the other away at my car clubs annual White Elephant gift exchange. here's the other one I bought:
Heininger Automotive 5552 Flexi-Lite -Lighted Magnetic Pick-Up
I like this light it's more compact the entire retrieval tip fully retracts into the handle. Because of that there is not room for the expected AA or AAA batteries. this uses small watch type batteries that are more expensive and less available. It remains to be seen how long they'll last but I'm concerned that when I really need this I'll find the batteries are dead.

Heininger 5552 Flexi-Lite Flexible Lighted Magnetic Pick-Up Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I should have foreseen the problem when I opened the package.
The lamp flickered, it looked like a poor contact so I checked to see if the caps (battery end-cap and the light end cap) were secure. The battey cap was okay, but the light end cap was loose. I snugged it up a bit (less than a quarter turn) and the lamp no longer flickered. Solved that easily?
Not really, because when I tried to use the light while working on some equipment (the reason I bought it), the lamp flickered again. I checked the lamp-end cap, and it was still loose! Upon closer examination, I could see that the threads were defective; the female cap and the male body could not be secured; a little pull and the cap simply came off in my hand. Then I could see that the wiring (from the battery compartment to the lamp) was badly twisted and frayed, obvious that the flickering was caused by a short or break in the wiring.
It appears that someone, likely on the assembly line, tried to secure the lamp-end cap to the body, it just kept turning and twisted the wiring to the point that it frayed and shorted; of course they solved their problem by shipping the thing to the customer.
It now "swims with the fishes", this is junk, beware.
