The key features on this light are its hanging options. The Rover has built-in magnets so that it can be attached to metal surfaces like beams, tool boxes, car hoods, electrical boxes and anything else metal you can find on the job but it also has a spring loaded clamp, key hole hanger, and wire hanger for when you can’t. This light will ship out in October of this year and will sell at $79.

There is a pretty great video review below from our friends at Tool Box Buzz in their “Tools on Tap” series for this Radius light, drinking beers and really beating the crap out of it.
