I seem to never have enough light. I’m looking at a Milwaukee LED light that can clamp to the hood bottom for engine work, clamp the the roof for inside the cab work. It’s battery powered. It’s a pricey tool but certainly is quality. Detached from its framework, can be used under the vehicle also. Was wondering if anyone has purchased this and what their opinion is.
Just trying to get some input.......might say I’m trying to see the light! grin

I bought one of these Milwaukee LED lights a couple years ago. It's my go-to light: magnetic, two batteries, and a USB charger. A buddy of mine tipped me off, but I don't remember what I paid for it. Shop a round, there are some great deals out there.

Good luck!

The correct tool name is: “ underhood light” by Milwaukee. It’s Model 2125. Yes it can be found at Milwaukeetool.com.
Dependable tools but pricey. Don’t mind spending a bit more for quality. Was curious if anyone here has experience with it.

I saw that light. It might be something I try some day. I got the boys a couple of #2366-20, but the battery only version. I have one guy who does a lot of under chassis work and uses it a bunch. I tend to use the other one more than my other two guys. Either way, a great light that can be positioned anywhere. Can make you a little warm, though, if you stay close to it.

My update:

II did buy the under hood light. It’s pricey but I like its efficiency and the fact it is adjustable to fit both Uber the hood and in the cab from door to door. Has two levels of brightness. Especially useful in the dark cab.

Get a headlamp if you dont already have one. Get a rechargeable one or a couple. Most useful tool ever. I grew up holding a mini maglite on my shoulder, in between my teeth or balancing it under a car. Now wherever i look i can see like daylight 👍
