Narva Pocket Light 71300

The best of the cheaper rechargeable torches – I have a few of these in our workshop. The later ones are even better as they use a usb connection for the charger. Robust and long lasting on a charge. The magnet on the end is really useful and the lamp is great in tight spaces.

Best torch for the size – As a mechanic I like having a small torch for pinpointing small areas around a car. I've found the Narva to be the best of the "cheaper" LED torches. The 7 surface mount LED's are much better than torches that use ordinary LED's, and provide a crisp, wide lighting area. I use the single end light as well which is quite bright, and handy for lighting up smaller areas.

It's a plastic body with a rubberised coating for a grippy feel. The magnet is handy for mounting it to things. The lenses are plastic however, and scratch easily compared to glass. It's small and lightweight, easy to carry around. I've dropped mine heaps of times onto concrete floors without breaking anything.

The battery is rechargeable and lasts ages.

As I said earlier it's the best of the cheaper end of the spectrum, they seem to go for $35-40.
