Stanley Heavy Duty Clamp Light

When it comes to working in dark places, nothing beats the Stanley Heavy Duty Clamp Light ($30).The 30 hour run time off two C batteries isn’t bad for the bright 80 lumen flood light. Use the wide grip clamp to attach this light in all of the precarious places normal lights don’t go.
