magnetic flashlight base

[Trevin]

Can anyone recommend a magnetic flashlight holder that I can use in the shop to attach to a drill press, bandsaw or lathe?  I am looking for something with a flexible arm so I can move the light to where I need it.  Most important is strong magnets so it will not move or fall off.

Thanks,
Trevin

Lee Valley also has another one that may work for you, with a magnetic base, and a little less expensive.  I have it and it works well.  Will hold two different sizes of flashlight and is adjustable.  I use it on my drill press and on my bandsaw:

I have this one from Lee Valley. Works great. There are similar products elsewhere, many for less money, but this one has a much longer gooseneck that others I've seen.

This came in especially handy the other night when my shop's lights went out.  [eek] I was right next to my bandsaw where the work light was attached at the time, managed to find it and then find my way to the door.  [smile]

I have four of those.  Suggest you get a Li Ion set of rechargeable batteries and a bulk charger.  Makes a big difference to be able to quickly change batteries.
