DIY Lock-Out Flashlight Cheap!

Ok i made this light out of a streamlight reach and a suction cup. They make different length streamlights, i also have the 18 inch and they come in handy. The suction cup is from a windsheild shipping box, it had a dowel to hold it in the box and support the windshield in shipping. All i did was remove the dowel and slide in the streamlight, works great.

Re: DIY Lock-Out Flashlight Cheap!

they are like $20 (http://www.google.com/search?q=streamli ... 24&bih=629), much cheaper than the other suction lights!

just found this on mbausa

Part Number HPC-FAL-15X
Product Code: Car Opening Tools
Manufacturer: HPC Locksmith Tools
Price:
$62.85

Description:
FLEX-A-LIGHT (15" LED)

The Flex-A-Light™ is equipped with an extremely durable LED to stand up to heavy use. The LED is cool-touch, so you no longer have to worry about a hot bulb breaking when it comes in contact with a cold window. The LED is also long lasting, about 100 times the life expectancy of an incandescent bulb.

The Flex-A-Light™ is more flexible than other bending lights, yet rigid enough to keep straight. The Flex-A-Lights do not use a switch; just plug in the light extension and the light is on. You no longer need to worry about switches that fail or dead batteries from your light switching on accidentally or from forgetting to switch your light off.

It includes a suction cup to conveniently secure the light to the window. Or, use the 36" (91mm) extension and keep the power handle in your pocket. Requires 3 AA batteries.

Yes very nice for field work. Little tape should do the job if there's no magnetic contact. :D

Re: DIY Lock-Out Flashlight Cheap!

I actually used the large suction cup to hold the big led light also, much brighter than the small one.
