    Scangrip handheld. If you want something locally then the Braun handheld from Harbor Freight which is similar to the first generation Scangrip.

    Better products elsewhere and with color matching. I paid just under $60 for a replacement exactly 3 years ago to replace my brinkman. It is still brand-spanking new, simpler to operate and does the deed. Brinkman was niche until LED lighting with significant power came to market.

    I have a Brinkman as well. Havent used it in years. I converted to LEDs years ago. I use scansgrip exclusively now. I like the fact it has different settings for light intensity.

    I have an LED wand that helps me with seeing light scratches on the paint but isn't quite powerful enough to show micro marring after I polish my black paint (my biggest problem with this truck).

    Is it possible to spot micro marring with the Braun handheld light?
