The magnetic flashlight looks really cool. I like the telescopic feature of it too….I’ll have to look for one.
The magnetic flashlight that telescopes and other great tool gift ideas can be purchased here: Automotive Mechanics Car Tools
I just bought one of those magnetic flashlights. It already paid for itself by saving my 100$ Mac belt tensional tool. I dropped in the underground lift compartment. I tied the magnetic flash light to a ten foot pole and used it to fish my belt tool out of the dark well. Tool retrieval is one of the special uses this magna flashlight provides.
