Great write up Mike. Saved me from writing my own . I like this little attention to detail from scangrip. Mine worked right out of the box when I received mine on a previous order. Unlike the Rupes pen light which came with dead batteries as it does not have this little anti-drain device. Thanks for pointing out this little detail.

I am curious how this light performs against the Rupes and Flex swirl finder lights. I have both and use the Flex more frequently. Does anyone know of a comparison?

Between the Rupes and Scangrip pen light, it's a toss up. The light is slightly white from the Rupes light. It is also a tad brighter. If you are a Rupes fan and want it for the Rupes name then get it. Other than that they both perform well.

I just received my Scangrip Matchpen light the other day and it clearly out does my LED light I was using... I was using a 400 lumen LED light, but it seems the Scangrip is a whiter looking light. I try to look at the paint under various lighting such as my fluorescent shop lights, LED, etc. The hardest thing to find were the light holograms I left with the Flex PE 8 and a 1" pad. I didn't see them until I used the Scangrip light.
Very good product and if you are looking to pull the trigger on a good swirl finder, the Scangrip Matchpen Light is definitely worth buying.

Thanks for sharing...

I agree - finding holograms left by small pads, usually on thin panels is tough, especially on light colors. What helps me is to hold the light out a ways from the paint, for some reason this helps to reveal the tale-tale signs of holograms.

I take one with me to all my roadshow classes.
