Inspection Torch

Post by oldtimer »

Can anyone recommend where to get a small powerful rechargeable inspection torch suitable for those under the car inspections pre purchase ? Prefer going to store rather than on line delivery .

There was a decent selection in Halford the other day when I was in there.

Not cheap though!

+1 for the Led Lenser, one of mine has even survived my old days as a commission engineer where drops from height were daily business :roll:

I'm on the lookout for another torch too. There is a bewildering array of Led lenser choice on Amazon!

As Ian mentioned, can vouch for the Ring LED torch. Halfords sell them to.

Can't quite believe you can spend three hundred quid on a torch!
