Im looking for a new led work light. It has to be rechargeable. I looked at napa and they wanted $90. Anyone know of a good one?

I got one from Wal-Mart, $30 or so. It's held up to me and my two year old getting a hold of it-

I bought one from HF over a year ago. I have dropped it many times, repaired it a few times, had to resolder wires etc. It was on sale for $20 and it still works ok, worth the $20. I just bought a Crapsman but I decided not to take it to work and to just use it at the house. That thing from off to off requires pushing the button 4 times. I'm afraid at work I would end up throwing it across the shop. It was on sale for $20 also.

I saw them at a Black & Decker Outlet for $19.99, exact same one we have at work for HVAC service, just badged different. They are very rugged. Two level light is harsh, they should have used a diffuser lens

a bit more pricey then the others posted here but I had one of these lights for 2 years and since it has now "walked away" I will be replacing it shortly. This light charges in a couple hours and will run all day (maybe longer but I never checked). When I had the light it feel off cars on lifts all the time got jammed up into spaces to small for it wedged between a caliper and frame to support the caliper while I replaced the disk and more then once it survived a express trip across the shop when something wasen't going right for me

but it never let me down
