00:00You know that moment when you're leaning over your engine bay at night,
00:03holding your phone in your teeth, trying to find the dipstick?
00:06Yeah, I've been there way too many times.
00:09So I went down a bit of a rabbit hole and tested a bunch of these little magnetic pocket flashlights,
00:14the kind that just stick to your hood and free up both your hands.
00:17And honestly?
00:19Some of them are shockingly good for the money.
00:22Here are the top 5 I'd actually keep in my glovebox,
00:25and I found the best deals on every single one.
00:28Starting off with the LED Cobb USB Rechargeable Inspection Lamp,
00:32this one's my go-to for actual car work.
00:35It's got a COB strip that throws this wide, flat flood of light instead of a narrow beam,
00:40which is exactly what you want when you're looking at a whole engine bay rather than one bolt.
00:44The head rotates a full 360 degrees,
00:47so you can stick the magnet on the underside of your hood and aim the light wherever you need it.
00:52There's a hook too, if you'd rather hang it.
00:55It's $6.84, over 4,500 sold, sitting at a 4.9 rating.
01:02For under 7 bucks, this replaces a proper work light.
01:06Next up, this USB Rechargeable COB work light,
01:09and the reason I love this one is that you can buy them in packs, anywhere from 1 up to
01:1310.
01:14At $5.75 each, that's the cheapest on this list, so honestly grab a few.
01:20One in the car, one in the kitchen drawer, one in the garage, one for the camping bin.
01:25Same deal as the last one, magnet on the back, hook on the end,
01:29USB charging so you're not hunting for batteries at 11 at night.
01:334,500 people bought these and they're rated 4.9.
01:37It's the kind of thing you don't think about until the power goes out and you're suddenly
01:41very glad you have 5 of them.
01:43Now if you want actual punch, the M2 Mini LED is the one.
01:48This thing claims 800 lumens, and while I always take those numbers with a grain of salt,
01:52it's noticeably brighter than the others in the lineup.
01:567 modes 2
01:57You've got your spotlight for looking down into tight spaces, the COB flood for general work,
02:01and a red flash mode that's genuinely useful if you're broken down on the shoulder and need
02:05people to see you. $6.04
02:09That's it. A pocket-sized spotlight with an emergency beacon built in for 6 bucks,
02:15that's not a gadget, that's just smart insurance.
02:18Then there's the Mini COB Keychain Flashlight, and this is the one I actually carry every day.
02:24It clips right onto your keys, so it's genuinely always with you, not in a drawer, not in the
02:29trunk, on you. Which means when you drop a socket under the seat, you're not going hunting for a
02:34light, you just already have one. It's tiny, it's magnetic, USB rechargeable, and it's 577.
02:42Over 4,000 sold, 4.9 stars. The whole point of a flashlight is having it when you need it,
02:48and this is the only style that guarantees that. And rounding it out,
02:53the super bright multifunctional EDC pocket torch. This one's the most well-rounded of the bunch,
02:59it does the focused beam, it does the side floodlight, it's got the magnet, it's got the
03:03keychain ring, and the build feels a little more solid in the hand than some of the others.
03:086.47, 4.9 rating, nearly 4,000 sold. If you only want to buy one light and you want
03:14it to handle car
03:15inspections, dog walks, power cuts, and everything in between, this is the safe pick. It just does
03:21everything reasonably well without being expensive. All 5 links are down in the description,
03:27and prices on these do bounce around a bit, so it's worth a quick check.

03:35I test cheap stuff like this every week. Thanks for watching, and I'll catch you in the next one.
