Hey guys, I play with snap on and stahlwille most of the time when I'm on the job, just want to know what your favourite lights are? Key factors: Magnetic, bright, sturdy, reliable. Thanks

Olight Baton. I have the older S15 model, not sure if it is still available. Runs off a single AA and has a flat magnetic base. There are longer models that can run 2x AA or a single 18650.
i'll throw one more on for the streamlight stylus. it's small and light so it doesn't weigh down my pocket protector too much. the momentary button/twist for continuos action action is a nice feature and the two that i have seem damn near bomb proof-- having dropped them countless times and what not. the one that have doesn't have magnetic but it's mostly just a quickie pen light, which is great for what it is.
To add on with the streamlight, the one I got through Cornwell is lifetime warrantied, too. That being said, mine has been a beast, I've dropped it countless times, sometimes into buckets of oil or gasoline or antifreeze, I've used it as a prybar and a hammer, I've even run it over. It's awesome.
I love my streamlight USB stylus pro.
Consider a Pelican 1910. It's my go to penlight, and it's either as good or better than my old streamlight.
Interesting thing about my old streamlight. My coworker tried to clean it with carb cleaner, and knocked the little bubble filter off of the led. Turns out they're actually a really dark blue without the filter, which makes them perfect for finding UV dye
Thats a neat accident
