Cordless LED Flashlight Available from Snap-on
A properly lit workspace is vital to the success of any job in the garage, shop or on the road.
But, it's sometimes inconvenient to string corded lights across running motors, in hard-to-reach areas or away from electrical outlets.
The Versa Volt Cordless LED Flashlight (CTLED918) is the latest cordless solution from Snap-on Tools Co. that features a brilliant and lasting LED (Light Emitting Diode) light source to illuminate nearly any working environment.
It features a 120° swivel head with detents every 10° for maximum flexibility.
You can position this light the way you need to.
Similar to a lighthouse beacon, the new flashlight features an innovative design that groups three LEDs together and multiplies light output for maximum illumination. The LED bulbs last up to 10,000 working hours and extend battery life by drawing minimal current.
This flashlight operates on Snap-on® CTB Series 9.6V, 12V, 14.4Vand 18V Battery Packs. The 18-volt battery (CTB3185) provides enough power for the flashlight to operate for more than eight hours.
The two position switch can be partially depressed for short bursts of light or used in the full ON position. It comes with an adjustable strap with removable stainless steel hook. The housing resists impact, temperature and most automotive fluids and the tempered glass lens resists scratches.
(Does not include battery pack or charger)

Just in case you need to haul Mt. Rushmore. Or tow an aircraft carrier.
Your eyes don’t deceive you.
It’s a pickup truck. From International.
Which makes it much more than a pickup truck. Born out of a 20-ton hauler and other International severe service trucks used by the construction, government and waste industries, the International CXT is built on the same platform as dump trucks and snowplows.
As a result, the company says, it is a vehicle unrivaled in capability, size and appearance. It hauls three times the payload of consumer pick-up trucks, is all-wheel drive, uses air brakes for unmatched stopping ability and offers towing, dumping and tilt bed capability.
Additionally, it features an interior with a crew cab design that seats five and can be customized to meet owners' specific needs – from paint color to air seats to flat screen TVs.
For example, one customized black International CXT touts ghosted green flames, a leather interior with wood grain trim, reclining captain chairs, a fold-down bench that can be used as a bed, an overhead compartment with drop-down DVD, an XM satellite premium radio system and a rear-mounted camera for increased visibility behind the vehicle.
"The International CXT is a truck for businesses that want to promote themselves as much as perform," said Rob Swim, director, vehicle center marketing strategy, International Truck and Engine Corporation. "While there is nothing tougher or more extreme on the market than the International CXT, it is as much a statement of success as it is performance.
In terms of performance, the International CXT features the International DT 466 diesel engine with a horsepower rating of 220 hp and 540 lbs.-ft. of torque. Other horsepower ratings are also available. With an electronically controlled turbocharger and four valves per cylinder, the engine delivers responsiveness, acceleration, fuel efficiency, extended serviceability and long-term durability.
A smooth-shifting Allison 2000 Series automatic transmission and standard cab air-suspension (with standard front air seats) provide a comfortable ride.
Among businesses for whom the International CXT is ideal: construction, lawn care businesses, lawn and garden stores, brick or stone contractors, home builders, carpenters, landscape designers, roofers, home improvement companies, auto body repair or custom paint shops, commercial boating businesses and boat racers.
