Haven't you ever heard half of something's better than all of nothing? They're far from perfect, but in tight spaces or by the side of the road in the dark they do OK. C’mon guys!

They look cheaply made and essentially disposable, but I bet they'd point where the work is. I tried on a pair of these glove lights in the store and was unimpressed. No only does the back of my hand never aim where my fingers are working (it's sort of physically impossible unless my fingers are outstretched, and it's hard to use an opposable thumb in that pose!), the gloves weren't even all that comfortable. Now, a light in the palm would have its own problems, but it would at least shine somewhere useful. Perhaps an EL panel? ;) There’s a set of little fingerlights over at MPJA, featured in the weekly specials email.

Unfortunately, the light doesn' point exactly where it's needed. I hardly ever use mine. I have a set of those LED work gloces. Unfortunately, the light doesn’ point exactly where it’s needed.
