I'm officially the flashlight guy of the family, according to this present π
#flashlight @flashlight
Not enough flashlights, also need some on your crocs π
Itβs very much βthe gift we want to be the viral gift this yearβ. I searched on Amazon for flashlights this year, and the first three pages were all variations on this thing. And the croc flashlights are proof that we live in hell.
I don't even know when you would need this?
Anytime you need to use your hands but still need to see what you're doing. I can think of dozens of times I've needed a light to work on something with both hands in a badly lit area but didn't have someone to hold the flashlight.
That said, I'd probably want the battery pack somewhere else because I could see that being an issue hooking on things, especially in tight spots.
I totally see it but I feel like the same spaces where you need more light to see your hands and can't use a light are those where you can't fit extra stuff in with your fingers, if you get my thought.
Ya, that's why the battery pack placement isn't ideal in my opinion. I can't even count how many times I've busted a watch band because it hooked on something. Mind you I have bigger hands, maybe it works out better for those who don't.
And this would have been a better solution than a headlamp?
Wouldn't a headlight do the trick?
I could think of a million use cases just for a flexible flashlight alone. Every engine bay on modern cars is jam packed with shit or the space has been cleared for a crumple zone.
My boss got me one for working inside control cabinets. As you usually have to have to power cut when poking around in a cabinet, lighting has to be supplied externally.
They could theoretically be decent for some car work where the body of the car shades everything.
They're better in idea than reality. 6/10
Also think of them as a supplement to a headlamp. Since your hands frequently shade what you're actually touching, these help supplement light right on the region of a hand shadow.
Let me know why the precogs say.
I came in thinking of a flesh joke but I leave with the fist joke instead...
Haha two people in my family just got this gift from two different givers
That's hilarious, I received a pair of these this morning as well, hahaha
Why does your hand look more like a claw than a hand?
Why does everyone think we're all stumbling around in the dark?
needs more strobe light
