Not enough flashlights, also need some on your crocs 😅
- @mp3 how did you know I wear Crocs
  
  you're the flashlight guy, ofc you wear crocs
  
  Oh no I'm busted 😶‍🌫️
- ~~Simpsons~~ Al Bundy did it
It’s very much “the gift we want to be the viral gift this year”. I searched on Amazon for flashlights this year, and the first three pages were all variations on this thing. And the croc flashlights are proof that we live in hell.
I don't even know when you would need this?
- 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.
  
  Wouldn't a headlight do the trick?
  
  And this would have been a better solution than a headlamp?
- I need these so I can look at my wife’s kidneys.
  
  First one that makes sense, SatansMaggotyCumFart.
- 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.
- 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.
Let me know why the precogs say.
I came in thinking of a flesh joke but I leave with the fist joke instead...
That's hilarious, I received a pair of these this morning as well, hahaha
Haha two people in my family just got this gift from two different givers
I received 2 pairs last night
- @Hikermick feet light ftw
Why does everyone think we're all stumbling around in the dark?
Why does your hand look more like a claw than a hand?
needs more strobe light
I got a nebo luxstreme SL25 and a bunch of giftcards
