Torches & Work Lights

A torch worth keeping in the car or by the front door is a different job to one for detailed work in a shed or loft, so think about where you'll use it and how long it needs to run for.

Work lights are built for hands-free or fixed lighting on site, in a garage or around the house, so check how each one stands, hangs or clips before you buy. Compare brightness and battery life on the product page against the job you have in mind.

If your torch isn't rechargeable, keep a spare set of batteries handy so it's never out of action when you need it.
