The Gyros Magnalite Pocket Pro Work Lightย is a greatย work light for repair professionals, autos mechanics and for use atย home thanks to its magnetic base and bright light output. This workย light also doubles duty as a flashlight with the built in LEDโsย located on the tip. Features like a hanging hook, belt pouch and aย compact size will make it easy to include this little light in yourย tool bag or tool box. There are brighter lights and products withย faster recharge times, but for the price โ and with its array ofย convenient features, the Gyros Magnalite is a hard product to ignore.
Gyros Magnalite Pocket Pro Work Light Features
Thereย are many benefits to using an LED work light since they areย cool-to-the-touch, can run for extend periods of time, and offerย tons of cool, bright light. I know that when I am doing repair work up in an atticย or crawlspace, having something more than a directional flashlight toย light my work area is an important consideration. The Gyros Magnalite Pocket Pro Work Light really does double dutyย since it can function as a flashlight and a work light withย plenty of power to adequately light up just about any project area.
Theย ABS plastic body of this flashlight has a positive grip and is toughย enough to take some bumps and bangs. There are 15 LED light sourcesย arranged on the front face that provide the main illumination withย the flashlight on the tip made up of 3 LEDs. The single push buttonย toggles the work light and flashlight functions. The main work lightย provides a strong, wide, bright, non-glaring white light without anyย real hot spots. The base of the flashlight feels slightly weighted,ย which makes sense since this is where the magnet is located. Theย internal magnet provide more than adequate holding power to keep theย light positioned where you need it. Also, since the magnet is locatedย inside the ABS plastic housing, it minimizes the possibility ofย marring surfaces by metal to metal contact. To further adjust theย lighting direction, the base can swivel a total of 180 degrees. Onย the top is a small hook that can be extended to allow for easyย hanging of the light from overhead. The battery is not removable andย is internal to the body. To charge the light, you use the includedย plug in transformer style charging cord. The charge time is around 3.5ย hours.
Testingย and Use
Beingย that most of us here are all gadget fanatics, we always love to tryย out new flashlights (and work-lights in this case). Having grown upย in a shop where we had drop lights that had incandescent bulbsย inside, we frequently shattered the bulbs when we would bang theย lights anywhere we could. On top of that, they would often beย dangerously hot to the touch and not very maneuverable. The otherย inconvenience with these old drop lights is that there was a cordย attaching them to a wall outlet. One of the obvious things that weย instantly liked about the Gyros Magnalite Pocket Pro Work Lightย is that it comes with lithium-ion battery power.ย From experience, we know that this power source is lightweight, doesย not have a memory effect and is pretty long lasting. When we firstย got this little work light, we were a little skeptical at itsย performance but after some time using it and just keeping it handy inย our tool bag, we found it to be a dependable and durable lightย source. We actually got several weeks of intermittent use out of theย light between charges and liked how it offered bright light all theย way until when the battery was nearly drained. When we charged theย work light we observed that the small LED indicator light on theย front changed from red to green once fully charged.
Conclusion
The Gyros Magnalite Pocket Pro Work Lightย is a sturdyย and reliable light source. The built-in lithium-ion battery is a plusย and its compact size makes it easy to tote along when doing all kindsย of repair and maintenance tasks. For our Performance rating we gaveย this light a 7/10 for its bright even light and the ability to switchย from flashlight to work light. For our Value rating, this work lightย scored a 7/10 thanks to features like a magnetic base, pivoting bodyย and hanging hook which make it an easy choice.
