Ring MAGflex Pivot Slim Inspection Lamp 

This is another brilliant piece of kit that I really don’t want to offer as a giveaway, but hey, that was the deal!

The Ring RIL3900HP MAGflex Pivot LED Slim Inspection Lamp is a portable, lightweight, foldable and pocket-sized lamp that’s ideal if you’re a professional mechanic or simply enjoy tinkering under the bonnet and want to get into the tightest gaps in an engine bay.

At just 6mm thick, it’s one of the slimmest lamps you can buy, and designed to shine a light into the darkest and hardest to reach spots.  Not only that, at the end of the lamp there’s a second high powered 'tip' light for a concentrated beam that's very good for illuminating all sorts of nooks and crannies.

With a powerful light output of 400 lumens, it also features Ring’s trademark MAGflex pivot and ratchet movement, meaning a multi-axis rotation and tilt, allowing for full angle of illumination.   The white light has a colour temperature of 6000K and is dimmable using  the on/off scroller dial on the handle.

Don’t worry about batteries and leads as the lamp is cordless and rechargeable with a three hour maximum operating time, and recharging takes four hours.  Of course, a mains charger included.  

Another useful addition are the multiple magnets fitted the the side and base as well as a hanging hook, all enabling it to be used hands-free, which is often essential.

price: around £30
