I occasionally find interesting stuff at http://meh.com, or at least enjoy the wacky descriptions. They sell just one thing a day. For kicks, I got these pliers ($13):



Still available as of 9:00 am this morning! Definitely worth it for late-night hotel parking lot shenanigans. In fact, I think I'll make one a door prize for Camp 928. If you miss, you're out of luck, but can see them here: https://meh.com/forum/topics/2-pack-...with-led-light.

I've never been to that website before...the FAQ section is very entertaining. Thanks for sharing.

So years ago my sister turned me on to this daily deal site called Woot. Turns out the guys who started Woot are the same that started Meh. Heh. Cool.

Funny story, so one year I told my sister that for her birthday I would get her whatever random item that popped up April 11 on Woot. Most of their stuff was in the $50 range with the occasional item more than $100. Well that day they decided to put up a $1500 Plasma TV! I think the text I received that day was, "Pay up Brother!". Since we live in two different time zones I told her that technically her birthday is still in affect on the west coast at midnight east coast time, when the Woot item changes. So it did and it turned out to be a $20 atomic calculator wrist watch. That didn't go over as well and she ended up re-gifting it to me later in the year on my birthday.

Given where that light is located, I'd bet they would break very easy if actually used as channel locks.

Light could be useful on needle nose, just don't see it channel locks.
