It is often said that farmers are up from dusk until dawn, but in reality, a farmer is often out working in the middle of the night tackling whatever emergency has come their way, be it an animal in distress, fixing farm equipment, or emergency fixes to a fence.  

Any of these emergencies could need an intense light source, to tackle the emergency efficiently. You don’t need to be left in the dark, you can light the way with an Eastwood LED light. As a bonus you can also listen to tunes or the game at the same time.  

The Eastwood Rechargeable COB LED Flood Light with Speakers is made up of die-cast aluminum housing material with an attachable 4000mAh battery. On the highest setting of 2000-lumens, the battery will last a minimum of 1 hour, compared to a maximum of 12 hours on the lowest setting of 100-lumens.  

Farmers can set the light up freestanding, using any angle and it has a swivel arm that will rotate 180°. Or if you prefer to use the light in a specific spot permanently, the light has a molded bolt hole for hard mounting to a workbench. 

So, let’s say the floodlight is in place to work on your emergency and then you need to find something in the back of your truck and it is dark. Simply remove the battery, hit the switch, and now you have a 60-lumen LED flashlight that can be used for a full 24-hours. Or if your cellphone is running low on battery, you can use the battery as a USB power bank to charge your phone. 

This light also has built-in two 5-watt 35mm (about 1.38 in) Bluetooth speakers that you can use to connect to and listen to your music of the game as you are working.

TOUGHBUILT Reload Utility Knife + 2 Blade Mags_TB-H4S2-03

The ToughBuilt® Reload Utility Knife is an innovative quick-change tool expertly crafted from pro-grade materials with a groundbreaking, patented mechanism that allows it to receive spring-loaded blade magazines and autoload a fresh blade with just a flick after discarding the used blade with the push of a button. Just like a standard firearm operation, the mags drop away clear, and a new one can be charged into the chamber with a snap.

Replacement of worn blades is safe and straightforward with a one-button blade-release function that extracts used blades before charging in a fresh one by simply retracting the actuator and flicking it forward again. With a simple press of the mag release, a positive, spring-loaded magazine ejection drops mags clear from the tool or into an open hand. A new magazine can then be loaded inside, making it easy to switch from one kind of blade to another in a flash.

All Toughbuilt mags are integrated with a lower chamber indicator switch. Positions 1, 2, or 3 remind the Pro which kind of blades are loaded in a magazine without extracting the mag from a pouch or pocket. Designed for rigorous cross-platform use, the Reload Knife utilizes quality construction featuring smooth aluminum alloy and zinc alloy for corrosion resistance. It is wrapped in rugged, grippy, non-slip rubber soft-touch housing to protect the tool from shocks and drops while creating a more dexterous hand purchase on the instrument.

The integrated finger ridge guard helps keep Pros safe while cutting robust materials. It includes a five-pack of ToughBuilt universal straight-edge blades and a five-pack of ToughBuilt’s specialized hook blades, which use an intelligent, precision-milled proprietary edge design. The blades work interchangeably with both the Reload Knife and the ToughBuilt Scraper Utility Knife or any standard utility knife.
