My brother uses these and swears by them. I need to get one or two. He told me to get ones with Cree LEDs in them. Any places you recommend?
Also, a tip of my own (which many probably know):
When starting a screw or other threaded piece, turn it backwards by hand and you should feel it "click" or drop into the threads. Then start turning it the correct direction to tighten. Can save you from cross-threading stuff, particularly fine threading.
