Petzl is the trusted brand for camping/hiking when you want a reliable headlamp. I have a couple Duracell brand ones that I somehow ended up with, that I use in the garage that are fine. Some of the newer ones use rechargeable batteries vs. AAA batteries. </div>

After realizing that holding a small flashlight with my teeth was probably a bad idea (and painful), I decided I needed a
<i>good</i> headband flashlight. I have a couple cheap ones, but they never seem to put out enough light for working on cars in a dark shop or in the grease pit. I see people using them on the tube, and they seem to work, but the two I have--both powered by
a couple AAAs--aren't even as powerful as the cheap flashlights Harbor Freight gives away (which work a couple times then quit). After checking the Brazilian river/rainforest and a few review sites it seems they are all over the map, from $10/ea to over $100!
The lumen ratings seem a bit suspicious too, with some Duracell brand Costco has on sale for a 3-pack rated at 550ea, and at least some claiming over 1,100 (for a few seconds bursts, anyway). Can anyone recommend one that actually lasts enough to find the
bolt that fell down between the block and wheel well, and stays in place on your head?<br>

TIA,<br>
Bob<br>
