    I don't even know when you would need this?

    I need these so I can look at my wife’s kidneys.

    Anytime you need to use your hands but still need to see what you're doing. I can think of dozens of times I've needed a light to work on something with both hands in a badly lit area but didn't have someone to hold the flashlight.

    That said, I'd probably want the battery pack somewhere else because I could see that being an issue hooking on things, especially in tight spots.

    I totally see it but I feel like the same spaces where you need more light to see your hands and can't use a light are those where you can't fit extra stuff in with your fingers, if you get my thought.

  • Ya, that's why the battery pack placement isn't ideal in my opinion. I can't even count how many times I've busted a watch band because it hooked on something. Mind you I have bigger hands, maybe it works out better for those who don't.

    I could think of a million use cases just for a flexible flashlight alone. Every engine bay on modern cars is jam packed with shit or the space has been cleared for a crumple zone.

    My boss got me one for working inside control cabinets. As you usually have to have to power cut when poking around in a cabinet, lighting has to be supplied externally.

    They could theoretically be decent for some car work where the body of the car shades everything.

    They're better in idea than reality. 6/10

    Also think of them as a supplement to a headlamp. Since your hands frequently shade what you're actually touching, these help supplement light right on the region of a hand shadow.

    Why does your hand look more like a claw than a hand?
