Almost everybody uses these in my shop. We found they work better on your head. I like it so much I have two.

I like my neck light, but I typically only use it for wheel well work. (Brakes and Suspension). Occasionally for exhaust work. Biggest con for me is the neck sweat and sometimes where the lights pivot will give you a little pinch. Wish they had a soft band along the inside. Runtime is not as good as advertised on mine. But all in all I do like them.

Use it as a headlamp. Used a Klein headlamp for awhile before it and it could get irritating on the head on long hour and hot days. This is mostly irritation free but stays better with hats than just on my head.

I have Snap-On's version and I zip tied the thing to my hat 😂 it works well on my neck while I'm creeping underneath semis and doing oil changes in the pit. Personally they aren't too great where you need the light to be fairly level with your eyes for when you need to see through a tight space. Other than that I wear them all day and take them home to charge since our tool boxes aren't able to be connected to power where they're stored off-shift.

“I wear a hat to keep stuff out of my hair, and so I don’t have to do my hair.” -Me over here wishing I just HAD hair lol But in all seriousness, I have a snap on one and I love it. *Edit: The snap on ones as far as I’ve seen have considerably better battery life than the EZ RED/ Matco ones. Charge time is about 4 hours

Me and the other guy I work with that have one both wear ours upside down when we are working over our head. That's the only time I wear mine for the most part. They angle further up when they are upside down, certainly worth the 37 bucks.

I'm a school bus mechanic. We do a lot of work on our backs using creepers. The neck nights are really good in my opinion for those purposes. Other time I need light I usually just use my cyclops lights or my flashlight

I bought the EZ Red one, might be made by them as well…nice option to have, but don’t use them a lot but handy sometimes. I paid $23 for the AA version, rechargeable ones are $40-45 or so.

I have 2 cheap headlamps that use AAA batteries and although they work great, I HATE that they chew thru batteries so easily. I also carry a Streamlight PT-L with me EVERYWHERE I go. It's small enough to comfortably fit in any pocket, or hold it in my mouth, plus it has a hat clip (which I rarely use because I don't wear hats often). IMO it's the perfect EDC light. It's only about 5 inches long, and just barely thicker than the 18650 lithium battery that it uses. I actually use scavenged cells from a laptop battery and I can easily get 3-4hrs on high.

The snapon necklight is way better in my review. The flashlight heads are thinner, the battery powers both and it’s USB C so it charges very fast. One button turns both on, it’s dimmable like all Snap-on lights, and even on high ive used it for over 5 hours. It’s always on sale in the flyer so wait if you wanna save 20$. I can’t wear it on my head alone because I’ve got a small head 😔 but with a hat on it easily stays snapped in place, and once you get used to a snapon necklight on your head it’s like you have night vision. You can’t and shouldn’t have to live without the ability to have immediate bright light exactly where you’re looking. It’s such a critical feature in the shop! And like I was saying with the snapon necklight, the heads are smaller so I even can use them as quick penlights too look inside the tiny holes of steel rims to do a quick brake life inspection. These matco look like a rebranded ez red, and even though snapon probably did partner with ez red to make theirs, they innovated upon it instead of just changing the logo so they get points for that Oh, and final point on why every one should have this. It keeps your hands free, and also you don’t have to oil up your flashlight touching it during job.
