Relieving Fuel System Pressure Ford Ranger

I bought one of those fluoro screw ins for my drop light at the shop.

I dropped it. It broke. It was about $4 best I remember.

I own Snap-Ons dual flourescent drop light. I keep breaking those too. They're about $6 apiece.

I'm hell on drop lights.

I carried my Snap-On home. Have'nt broken the bulbs yet.

I went back to regular ole "rough service" 75wt'rs in my shop drop lights. Still breaking 4 or so a week. But, the price is much lower. Though the lighting is no where near as good as the flourescent.

any whoooo...... that's my rant.

I use the metal caged lights, it's just a hardheaded "what I'm used to" thing.

And yes, that's the primary reason I go through so many bulbs.

But, in my defense, I'm rugged on a drop light. Keep in mind that EVERY vehical I work on is getting the use of it because I work underneath most of the time on trannies. (cept'n fwd cars, then 1/2 the time is underthehood)

I'm not curtious on a drop light and I'm constantly shoving it, jamming it, lodging it, into areas it reeeellly ought not be put in if you want one to stay like new. But, it makes my job easier when I can see the hidden brackets, bolts, and wires that the OE's like to hide nowadays. My SnapOn just doesn't tend to want to go places that I can shove that old school unit into. (without voiding the warranty lol)

Any whooo... In the past I tried keeping replacement cages on hand for when I fubarred it too bad. But, that was years ago. I've learned to deal with the cost of the bulbs and about once a year I cut the end off the one I'm using, make into a dropcord, and buy me another disposable (lol) droplight.

I'm working on 15-20 cars a week........ shoving droplights in areas that they shouldn't go....... well....it speeds things up a bit. To me, the cost is negligable.

akin to using Charmin, or dollor store toilet paper. I'm willing to pay the cost.

lmao
