    Anytime you need to use your hands but still need to see what you’re doing. I can think of dozens of times I’ve needed a light to work on something with both hands in a badly lit area but didn’t have someone to hold the flashlight.

    That said, I’d probably want the battery pack somewhere else because I could see that being an issue hooking on things, especially in tight spots.

      I totally see it but I feel like the same spaces where you need more light to see your hands and can’t use a light are those where you can’t fit extra stuff in with your fingers, if you get my thought.

        Ya, that’s why the battery pack placement isn’t ideal in my opinion. I can’t even count how many times I’ve busted a watch band because it hooked on something. Mind you I have bigger hands, maybe it works out better for those who don’t.

      Wouldn’t a headlight do the trick?

        Sort of… a lot of the time it’s getting the light at the right angle and keeping it there that’s the issue. Especially when working on vehicles. Gloves like this would help in that regard, but have their own set of issues to deal with.
