Not, it is better in the right circumstances. Chances are you'd not
have the kit in the trunk, but did you ever change a tire in the dark

plug in your lights?

How about a camping trip? On a boat?


Perhaps you missed my point. Each of the attachments can be mounted on the "base" so it can imitate a stationary tool: A drill press, a scroll saw, a table saw and yes, a work light on a pole.

At 0:48 he attaches the flashlight to the battery, stands it up on the workbench and alters the angle to show it's versatility.



No, you missed my point. If you are changing a tire on a dark road,
you sometimes need two hands.


That's why I keep one of those headlamps in the glove box.
