Highly useful little item

Administrator

My wife picked up these one day at Walmart they have magnifying lenses and a pair of LEDs with rechargeable batteries in the ear pieces.

And with the LEDS on.

It is amazing how things are shrinking. I have a magnifying hood with LEDs that is three times the size of those glasses. And probably doesn't work as well.

I haven't seen those with magnifying lenses - that's a good idea. I have a pair of Craftsman branded ones that I keep in my electrical toolbox for when in crawlspaces or attics.
Another style that is really handy for cooler months are the stocking/beanie caps with the leds on the front.

I may have to give these a try. I usually have one of the mini Maglites in my mouth to see in difficult spaces. Not only is it annoying, it's hard on the teeth when you're in a tight space and hit the flashlight on something...lol.

The guy that did the exhaust system on Big Blue yesterday had one of those in his mouth. I was thinking "There are far better tools than that" but didn't say it.
