    Looks quite good
  • Very good value for money bought two for mechanics in our workshop and theyre nearly as good as the very similar alternative from SNAP ON which another mechanic has but paid nearly £50 for........:eek: , only difference being you get a life time guarantee on snap on but at that price who cares!!:D
    Thanks

    Why pay up to ten times as much for an LED torch as for an ordinary thick rubber one with a krypton bulb, which is probably significantly brighter?

    Didn't you get a pocket-full of the tiny keyring LED 'torches' (just one LED!) which were remaindered by Tesco just after Christmas at three for 98p?

    Well got my torch today and I'm impressed. Looks much like the big brand ones that are 4x the price :)

    The 10 LEDs certainly produce a good white light equal to that of a standard torch.

  • Glad you like it like i said why pay over the odds for something of similar quality.
    Thanks
