It looks like that one does not come with a 
strap.  Did you buy that or one of the choices 
with a strap?  As I don't have anything right 
now, I guess I would need to get a strap one way or the other.

They make brighter ones as well, but I find that this one is just about
perfect for doing mechanical work in the garage. It also detaches quickly
if you want a stationary light.<br><br>

Not only is it more convenient, I find that I am faster and do

nuts in tight spaces, trying to find dropped parts in engine bays, all
