mchan68 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 You know what one of my many working pet peeves are? Having EXCELLENT magnetic LED work lights that will light up pitch dark, but can't be placed anywhere in your working area because the vehicle you are working on has body parts that are non-magnetic. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddieseldoctor Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Yes. That does suck when you are trying to work under a dash and everything is plastic. Along with aluminum body panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the amount of plastic in cars and trucks is just as bad as the aluminum body panels in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchan68 Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 ..... especially plastic engine parts which break easily and non serviceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy57 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 My go to now is single strip 48 inch 120V LED shop light. They are $25-ish and they come with chains with the S hooks. I close both S hook ends on chain on light end and close the other S hook on the chain so those stay put. I use the open end of the S hook on chain to attach to holes on under side of hood. I put the end S hook through middle links on the chain to adjust length so the light hugs the hood more out of head bumping area. The lights can hang by grab handles inside vehicle. The only thing that I see as a downside is the cord but dust tape takes care of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
