For a few years now, with the advise of HoboNC, I have been using headlamps a lot more than drop lights. I have two LED units. I like that it is a lot easier to keep them pointed in the right direction and they are much cheaper to maintain even with the replacements of batteries. Yesterday I found another advantage to a headlamp. I was removing one of the front wheel drive boxes on my Kubota in order to replace seals. I was under it to remove a snap ring, and when the ring came off the gearbox just dropped. It landed on my forehead, more specifically on the head lamp. I had expected to have to fight with the box to free it. It never occurred to me that it would drop, but it did. I would no doubt have quite an egg if it weren't for the lamp, which quit working but with a little manipulating lit up again. I know that most guys would say that they support a drain plug with a jack while loosening it, but I guess I am just careless.
