Convergence gadgets are always hit or miss. Sometimes you end up with something useful, other times you’re stuck with a gadget that is good for two or three applications that have absolutely nothing to do with each other, and thus don’t belong on the same device. This Magnetic LED light falls into the former category.
This gadget is small, yet packs in both and LED light and a laser pointer. What’s more is that the base is magnetic, allowing you to attach it to a metal surface and point the light or laser where it is needed. This would be especially useful when working in a cramped space where there’s little room for a conventional flashlight. Best of all, it’s only about $6.

I picked one of these up in the clearance section of Wal-Mart (usually by the hallmark cards section) for $2.96 recently. They came with an extra set of 3 batteries (already had 3 in the chamber but looks like people were testing them out in the packaging so those batteries were already half drained.) The LED is pretty bright and the laser has a good throw distance. Good deal for the price!
