Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Though not much smaller than a golf ball, the new Striker Magnetic Light Mine is a powerful task light that can be used almost anywhere you need illumination. It has an intensely bright, wide angle LED and 12 powerful rare earth (neodymium) magnets that allow you to stick it to any steel surface or rest it on any surface and aim the light towards the workspace at almost any angle. Professionals, including automotive technicians, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC contractors, will want to have one on hand, as it is small enough to fit into tight areas and aim a powerful beam of light where it is needed most. Because of its 12 rare earth magnets, it also works as a pick up tool for dropped screws, nails, and hardware. Do-it-yourselfers and homeowners will also find hundreds of uses for the Striker Magnetic Light Mine. Use it when working on an engine, changing a tire, wiring a home theater, switching on a breaker, or when crawling around under a counter or sink. It will stick to the fridge, making it the go-to flashlight for the whole family, and it's great to have on camping trips. The potential uses are endless.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Concept...ruined by cheap plastic switch August 4, 2009

By Richard G. Vincent II

I love the concept of this little light. However, a cheap plastic switch kills the reliability. I switched mine on, it worked. Switched it off, then switched it on again. Dead! The light will only stay on if I apply constant pressure on the switch. I was excited to receive this product but was immediately disappointed. Product lifetime = less than one minute.

I give the product a 2nd star only because the company, Risk Racing/Striker, was willing to send me a new unit without requiring that I send back the bad one. I look forward to receiving the replacement, but even so, I have doubts about the durability of this product and its reliability in a rough environment.

I guess you can't ask for much, given the price. Honestly, it is such a unique and cool concept that I would have spent more than double the $7 I spent to own a unit that is more dependable.

3.0 out of 5 stars This thing is great BUT!!! September 12, 2009

By Daniel R. Tesla

The switches cand be fussy, (I own 8 of them) But they make a heck of a lot of light and the magnets are pretty darned strong. BE AWARE that if you beat them up the magnets will come off, but I work with them on an oil rig so go fugure. They are great but its best to have a few of them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Handy little light. September 2, 2009

By C. Bullman

Amazon Verified Purchase

This light works well and the magnets seem to be powerful enough to keep the thing in place. However, the light seems to be a bit more cheaply-made than I expected. Note: I recently found the light at a big-box home improvement store for less than half the price.
