    Alternative to Brinkmann Swirl Finder Light?

    I can't seem to find this anywhere anymore so I need a recommendation for some alternatives. I bought the light from Flex from Autogeek a little while back and I think it's okay, but I don't like it as much as I liked the Brinkmann. Which flashlight do you guys use to find swirls?

    There are several swirlfinder lights avaialble on the market. I got the Scangrip pen light and it works really well. Sonax and Rupes make one as well. Scangrip also make higher light output products.

    If you want top quality, the SCANGRIP can't be beat.


    I typed the below into Google and brought up the following articles, nothing on Facebook? Guess Google doesn't serach and index Facebook? I've posted most of the below to my FB page?

    And when the frame cracked in my 1987 Chevy Silverado I used the SCANGRIP Sunmatch light with it's magnetic base to light up things like bellhousing bolts when I removed the motor, transmission to get to the inside of the frame, clean everything up, get the crack repaired and the install the HD frame brace to prevent it from happening again in the future.













    Awesome light - top notch quality - won't let you down.

    Hard to follow greatness, Mike.

    Like another guitarist following Jimi Hendrix..........................

    Yes.

    Scangrip was so kind to give me the entire new II series at SEMA last year.

    Can’t type now - away from office and Arm Holder Uppers.

    I have the Rupes penlight and the scangrip. As far as I can tell the two are identical.
