65618 Stylus Reach 11-Lumen White LED Pen Light for Mechanics, Inspectors, and Technicians with Flexible 7-Inch Extension Cable and 3 AAAA Alkaline Batteries, Black

This is my third Streamlight stylus. I've had one since they came out. The last one got immersed in goop and didn't clean up. My bad. I actually like this new version better. It has a flexible metal covered snout so is not prone to nicking and would be easier to clean up. It's a very handy light. The button on the end is easier to push than the last couple, so that is an improvement. I use it mostly for looking into small places. It works very well, with a strong enough light. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Fine and dandy, just what I needed. Generally men love flashlights and desire one for all applications. Streamlight seems to deliver.

If you've ever worked in confined spaces (under a car's dash, behind a sink, inside an appliance, etc.), you know that at times even small flashlights are too big. Sometimes you need a small light that can wrap around obstructions and light obscured areas. Until now, in these situations I have used a "Bend-A-Light" that is similar to the Stylus Reach. The standard Bend-A-Light retails for about the same price as the Stylus Reach, so a comparison of the two is useful. The Bend-A-Light is larger and slightly heavier. Its flexible neck is longer than that of the Stylus Reach (9.5" vs. 7.5" from bulb tip to flashlight body). However, the effective reach of the Stylus Reach is greater because its body is only slightly wider than its flexible neck (owing to its use of super-small "AAAA" batteries). The body of the Bend-A-Light houses "AA" batteries and is over twice as thick. The Stylus Reach also features an aircraft aluminum casing (vs. the Bend-A-Light's plastic body), a MUCH more flexible neck that is shielded and insulated with PVC, up to 60 hours of run time on one set of three "AAAA" batteries (included), momentary "blink" or constant-on switching, and it's waterproof! Moreover, it has an unbreakable LED light that burns cool and is as bright or brighter than the Bend-A-Light's fragile, incandescent bulb. [I should mention that there is a considerably longer (24"), brighter Bend-A-Light called the "Krypton Pro Bend-A-Light." However, I have no experience with it.] I am exceptionally impressed with the brightness and quality of the Stylus Reach. It is one of those items that nobody knows they need until they have it. It would make a great gift for any do-it-yourselfer or tech geek. If Streamlight would make a version of the Stylus Reach with a longer neck, I'd happily buy it, too.

I ordered this to try as a cheap ENT headlight for use in the Emergency Department for nosebleeds and the like, coupled with a Nite-Ize headstrap. Previously I bought and still use a Streamlight 71600 Jr. Reach LED 115-Lumen Handheld Flashlight With Flexible Extension Cable which is ideal and much brighter (115 vs 11 lumens), but no longer made. I compared this light with a Lisle 35900 LED Flexible Flashlight that I got from amazon to compare. They are both very similar. Advantage of the Lisle over this Streamlight: takes AAA size battery cells and you can put AAA lithium cells in it: compared to alkaline cells, last longer, work better in the cold, and unlike alkaline cells, will not leak and corrode inside the light. The Streamlight takes AAAA cells, which are only available as alkaline cells. Advantages of the Streamlight: slightly cheaper, the flexible wand is easier to position right where you want it without it drifting, has a pocket clip to secure it in the Nite-Ize headband, and is slightly brighter in direct comparison. I ended up going with the Streamlight.

Works great for getting light into small deep areas.

Very useful for small holes and tight spaces.

Well built and designed.

Nice bright light good to get into those hard tiny spaces. If you need the light to stay on, just screw the end piece where the battery goes down tighter! Then you won't have to hold the button down to use the light.

Très solide lampe de poches construite en l'aluminium, au LED permettant l'inspection à des endroits très restreint comme cylindre de petits moteurs et carburateur, étant moi-même techniciens en aéronefs et inspecteur ça me rend la tâche très simple sans crainte car elle est construite de façon très solide.

Quality light for those hard to get too places God send

メルセデスベンツのエンジンルーム内を点検する為に購入しました。 かなり狭く、入り組んだエンジンのインマニとエキマニの下を点検するのですが、予想して居た照度よりも暗かったため・・・期待していたほど性能が良いとは言えない製品でした。本体価格が割高な製品でしたので、残念です。

Works great gets in places you never seen,

No la recomiendo por dos motivos principales: El rapidisimo deterioro del forro del flexo y la dificultad de adquisición de las extrañas pilas que usa...
