For those lucky enough to have access to an Aldi store,
they currently have a nice rechargable LED work light for about $40 (here in AU anyway). We just bought a couple industrial rechargeable LED worklights at work, at about $250. While this is smaller, the construction of the housing appears very similar, well built. Switch isn't sealed, but is on the bottom of the case, less likely to allow water in if used outside. Charging port has a sealing plug. Base is basic with 3 miniscule tacks and one large bird-**** weld. Going to get some magnets off ebay and make a 3 point base like the ones at work. Jon |

Hmm, they've already rolled over into the next sale flyers, but that's the one, I'm sure. I heard they were coming to the west coast. They have some good deals now and then. Have bought a fair number of tools for work at great prices. Couple weeks ago got some real nice pry bars, similar to die bars, $8 each! Jon |
