Flashlights
Even if I quit the inspection biz tomorrow, I would want at
least one of these flashlights. My everyday flashlight is a
Streamlight rechargeable (see Figure 1). It weighs one pound
— much less than a battery-eating flashlight — while its
1-inch-diameter body is narrow enough to fit in a pocket of
my blue jeans. It throws enough light for attics and basements,
but isn't too blinding for close-up work like looking
under sinks. It's also rugged — I've dropped my trusty
Streamlight more than a few times with no ill effects. I get
about a week's work out of the light before I recharge it.
