Led Finger Gloves

Similar to the glasses with LEDs in them that Bill posted about previously, there are these things:


Just got back from our family gift exchange where I received a 3 pair pack.
Pretty impressed for what they are.

Here is a shot of a junction box I was working on with no camera flash.
Sure beats the flashlight in the mouth method.

Amazing!  I'd not seen those.  I'll bet they put the light right where you need it.  

Give us a report after you've used them?

[grumpin]

Well, those are cool!

That bottom photo with the wires/Wagos is one I took and they do light up the area of focus really well.

Wish I would have had them while doing all the under dash wiring work. Would excel there.
In-location soldering is another use case.

Oh man, I have been doing the mini Mag-Light in the mouth for years, and as used to it as I am, I still hate it...lol.

These gloves look really cool though. I have been waiting to try some different type of lighting for years...and all I could think of was one of those forehead lights like the miners use.

So you give them a good rating Scott??

I used a pair quite a bit today. Did some more electrical work in an unlit kneewall cavity this afternoon and that alone sold me on them. They light up the surroundings when crawling across joists as well as the junction box I was working in. Plus left my mouth free to wear a dust mask for the fiberglass.

I also wanted to look at the 460 oil filter adapter and they worked great for that also.

I can't speak to the longevity or durability really but I'd say if I lost all of them tomorrow, I'd order another pack without hesitation. For the price and performance so far they'd get a good rating from me.

So where does one buy these?

My sister got these from Amazon. Looks like a bunch of sellers offer the same product. The 6 gloves (3 pairs) came in plastic bags with no branding or anything.

Very cool! Didnt ET have something like this?
Ive got flashlights out the wazoo right now but none like this.

[kramttocs]

Now that you mention it...

I was going to say, I'm more impressed by finding Wago's in what appears to be a really old box.

Maglite used to sell a polypropylene bite piece that slipped on the battery cap of their mini.
Personal lighting has come SO far with the advent of LED's and lithium cells.

Cool gift Scott!
Your sister seems to know you pretty well.

We had another that said she wanted on.  I responded via email to say "Please explain why you want on the Bullnose Forum.  We are experiencing a wave of despicable spammers and are now holding off adding new members until they explain why they want on."

Assuming she is a spammer, we had 3 in 12 minutes.

I kind of like the term 'gastronome'.
At least they could use logic to target the posts better and be a little more vehicle related
