My garage being small makes interior work a bit of a chore as I can't see enough of what I'm doing due to low light so I usually have a flashlight in hand while I work. Any recommendations on some lights that would free up a hand? Was thinking about one of those under hood lights with the magnets in hopes they would be strong enough to get through the headliner or use the swiveling hooks. Specifically speaking about this light 845 Lumen Underhood Rechargeable Work Light (https://www.harborfreight.com/845-lumen-underhood-rechargeable-work-light-63990.html)

Or maybe even something smaller so I could see what I'm doing

I use this headlight I bought online. It came with two 18650 rechargeable batteries + charger for less than $15 bucks.

Pick up some extra batteries, they’re cheap.

-dual output modes meaning low beam,high beam, concentrated, wide, etc
-comfortable headband(thicker usually means less headaches after working long hours on dirty interior.)

Half my work here at Autogeek is simply remembering where stuff is.... lots of stuff.... the challenge is finding and that's where Google comes in handy. I type in a few key words and my first and last name and boom!

SCANGRIP I-View - The perfect light for interior detailing


If you do a lot of car interior detailing, get yourself a SCANGRIP I-View

After vacuuming you can use the Tornador Air Blow Out Gun to blast out dirt and debris you couldn't reach with the vacuum.

This is another cool tool, the Tornador ZV-240 Velocity Vac Dry

There's a new version but it's currently not in stock.

It's listed on Jeff Bezzo's site. But the Scangrip I has multiple prices from ~$65 to ~ $110. The $65 version is not in stock.

I'd rather buy it here. For $65.00, I would consider it.

Not sure what the II version provides in the way of upgrade, but at $90.00, it seems tough to justify.

My opinion. Your mileage may vary.

I use one simliar to Eldo's. Picked it up at Lowes for around $35 IIRC. 3 AAA Batteries and several power levels with the same type of zoom capability. I use rechargeable and they last 8+ hours on the second brightest level which is plenty bright too.

I purchased "The claw" last year. Once used it once so I can't really tell you how go it is, but it worked well when I used it.
