Key to these lights' versatility? Their magnetic base, which lets you snap it onto anything metal. The grip is strong, but not too strong; in other words, you can move them when you need to. Also adding to their allure? A flexible neck allows for 360-degree adjustability, so they're always facing exactly where you need them. If you've ever had to do any late-night repairs on a car, you know exactly how valuable something like this can be.

"We actually use these for things other than grilling now," reported one resourceful reviewer. "They have helped us locate things in the dark, look under a car hood at night, etc. They’ve definitely stood up to use so far." Some more good news: They get 20 hours of life per set of AAA batteries, and the batteries are included with the purchase. Handy, huh?

The lights are also made of heat-resistant alloy, so you don't have to worry about your grilling cooking more than just the burgers. They're also water-resistant, so they'll hold up to a little bit of rain — although you shouldn't leave them out in it any longer than necessary.

"Purchased these several years ago for the BBQ guy in our house, my husband. He put them away and promptly forgot about them until today. His little Mag Lite died while he was working on the engine in his ‘65 Mustang and rooting around in the garage he rediscovered these great lights … and he’s in love with his lights! Super bright with a strong magnet that were absolutely perfect for doing whatever he was doing on his engine … HIGHLY RECOMMEND!" one fan said.

The applications for these lights really are just as flexible as the light itself. "Wife uses it to thread her sewing needle," one husband said. "They are very bright and the magnet is perfect for dad’s Coleman camp stove. Having two is great because he can set one up on the stove and one on his prep surface. Great for camping," said another shopper.

At just $5 each, these lights are an absolute steal and a deal you don't want to miss.
