huh. small and useful. This would come in handy if you did not have a spare hand, and you needed a light. But just in general use i would stick with my maglite. Nice handy instructable, if you want a small light, or if your moving stuff and need a light :-)

That last picture looks like you were cutting off the circulation to your finger, maybe you should use velcro.

if you were paying any attention to the Instructable's words, not just the pictures, you would see Velcro Qwik-tie in the parts list.
