CAT CT1000 Pocket COB LED Flood Beam Pocket Work Light, Black/Yellow

I work on vehicles and a variety of equipment & appliances. I have many different sized flashlights, headlights, and drop lights. I also watch some of the repair videos on YouTube, to keep up on vehicle changes and tips & tricks with common faults or issues. One of the channels I watch is "FordTechMakeuLoco" for the Ford models. Brian, on this channel, was one of the guys that recommended the Craftsman twin to this light, although I shopped around for an even cheaper version, & this CAT brand was it. Some of the features I like: 1 Small & portable 2 Strong lights 3 Body feels rugged, even though it's made of plastic. Probably couldn't run it over, but should be able to withstand drops. 4 Has a rubber covered magnetic base. 5 Batteries seem to last many hrs; it's stated up to 7hrs. I have yet to change the batteries since purchase back in 2/2017 (**UPDATE** now 5/2017 and still have not changed the batteries. BTW, I use alkaline batteries, not rechargeable lithium, because they seem to last the longest when it comes to LED lights) One of the things they could improve on is the pocket clip; instead of being plastic have it upgraded to metal. In fact, the whole body should be metal so it would be the most rugged. For the price, you can't beat the light output and over all quality. I've really liked this light for areas such as under the dashboard. I use the magnetic end to hang it up & I have use of both hands under there. It's 10x's better because it's so compact compared to drop lights or other lights, making the light out of the way for those tight areas. I bought this from the seller "Amazon.com LLC", which I feel is important to list this info. I've come across sellers with variances in their items, including knockoffs, even if listed as same brand. I'll post an update with a durability review.

The CAT Cob Light one of those treasured tools that you will be VERY HAPPY TO OWN! It is first and foremost a light, but boy what a light. It puts out 175 lumens, much like a flash bulb, so don't look directly into it you will see dots. If you are a mechanic you can light up that hard to reach area where normal lights fail to illuminate. The CAT Cob Light has a magnet on one end that will allow you to hang it from above, or off to the side or on top of engine block. You can look under tight spaces like under the stove without any problems or behind one of those tight spots. The thing I love about the CAT Cob Light is that it is the size of pen. It can fit in your pocket. It has a clip that allows you to put it in your shirt pocket or it fits nicely in your wife's pocketbook. You can put it in your glove compartment in your car for those emergencies. You can keep one in the kitchen drawer instead of that old bulky flashlight. You can keep one near the night stand in your bedroom in case the power goes out. How many times do you need a flashlight but you don't have one available? Yeah sure, you can use your cell phone light but then you run down your cell phone batteries. With the Cat Cob Light you will have it handy and it will light up what ever you need to shine a light on. There is a button on top that clicks like a button on a pen. You push this and the light comes on and floods the room with light. But if you lightly press on the button the light will turn off, until you remove your finger from the button and the light will come back on. What I am saying is that you can mute the light if you need to without actually turning it off. It is really great if you are a boy scout or cub scout and you want to practice your Morris code. If you walk the dog at night you can carry this light with you to light your way. Man, there are a thousand and one uses for this light. This is a prepper's dream come true. The CAT Cob Light is light weight, sturdy, and universal in its uses. I have four, one for my wife's pocketbook, one for each car and one for use in the house. As I look around I see that I will need a few more. The price is right and the product is fantastic; so do yourself a great big favor and get a few while you still can, you won't regret it.

You can tell some person or team put a lot of time and effort into ma,king a light that is extremely useful in many applications. (ESPECIALLY compared to the similar product by Harbor Freight.) This product is very lightweight, making it practical to clip to your pants pocket and carry without feeling distracted like you have a heavy weight on you --- also, for example, jogging, when you don't want to feel those wieights bouncing. The clip works extremely well, secure to your pants pocket. It's a "professional" clip, similar to that on the "Halt!" dog repellant spray. The on-off button is very handy, and is SIMPLE --- no need to go through different modes. Appears very water residtant. Although SMALL, it provides the light you need in a hurry, for something small --- not designed to light a big area --- buth the light it provides is extremely useful, handy, very quick to gram from your pocket and turn on in one second. ----- Lightweight --- BUT THE TYPE OF PLASTIC IS GREAT --- THINK OF IT MORE AS EPOXY, so it has a very nice feel, and you can tell that it's rugged and strong. This is a great light for the toolbox, glove compartment, carrying around on your pocket anywhere, everywhere. ----- The yellow color also is really helpful for quickly locating it in low light conditions. (The Harbor Freight one is black --- go figure.)

Bright. Easy to aim. Ideal for kichen drawer, tool bag, near the entertainment center to see the connections in the back, etc. Anywhere it’s hard to see something you’re looking for.

I've had a pair of these for a couple years now and they've held up quite well. They've seen plenty of use as my primary tool bag and vehicle tool kit compact work lights. They've survived a number of drops and the clips are still in tact. Rubber boot around the on/off switch has not cracked. Battery life has been middle-of-the-road for me, but I've also been using cheap batteries. I figure I get a solid 5-6 hours before the light starts to dim significantly. A premium battery would probably get you 7-8 hours. For the money its hard to beat the value. Compact, ultra-bright, and the magnetic base is actually powerful and useful. Battery life could be better, but its refreshing to have a compact LED light that lasts long enough to replace the first set of batteries. Outperforms many $20-$30 products of similar design. Ordering two more.

These are great little flash lights. Very handy. Give bright, clear light. Hard to get — they sell out fast! Grab a couple whenever you see them available from Amazon.

Second time buying as a gift, good value product. Design is easy to use, one button click. It's plenty bright for small size, magnetic end is a very handy feature, great battery life. Often kept and used in the garage while working on cars. Buying again only because misplaced first one. Delivered early in time for Christmas!

Love these little flash lights. Brighter than expected.

I brought it on jan 23, 2021 and today Apr 9, 2021 Any more working; even battery replaced.

Non ho avuto tempo di testarla veramente al lavoro , ma dal primo momento che lo ricevuta sono stato contento di quello che ho visto : robusta , luminosa e abbastanza piccola. Assomiglia tanto a un altra torcia fatta da una ditta famosa che fa attrezzi di lavoro e che io uso da anni e sono molto soddisfatto. Ho preso CAT perche costa un po'di meno e ha la calamita nel coperchio per le batterie . Un altra cosa positiva: ha la dimensione piccola ed è molto attraente per chi la porta nel astuccio di lavoro come faccio io.

CAT has always had good products this work lamp is no exception, I became a little skeptical, have to admit, when I opened the package until I pressed the ON button, well, then it was basically "let the light come", nice intense white light exactly what needs for inspection in the work with polishing machine on the car, strongly recommend, do not be fooled by its size because in this context: "size does not matter". CAT har alltid har haft bra produkter denna här arbetslampa är ingen undantag, jag blev lite skeptiskt, måste erkänna, när jag öppnade paketet tills jag tryckte på ON knappen, ja, då var det i princip "låt ljuset komma", fin intensiv vit sken precis det vad man behöver för inspektion i arbete med polering maskin på bilen, rekommenderar starkt, luras inte av dess storleken eftersom i denna här sammanhanget : " storleken har ingen betydelse".

Très bien
