I noticed you purged some VW seals to free up more space for... flashlights.
Reaching out is bound to help Dave- but the Hitest in me wants to send you 43 more flashlights. Feel free to PM me your address.

I'm starting to wonder if I may not be in need of more assistance than I can provide also. 
There are more,.. these are just some of my favorites.
edit: Not to get over technical but most lights today aren't really "flash"lights since there's no momentary contact switch.

I wonder how I got along with out a LED head lamp.
I've got them all over the house and shop
then I wonder how most of the guys I know that don't have a light on their head when working in the dark
I worked with one guy that used a Bic lighter to see what he is doing.

Better a flashlight than a fleshlight.

I have way too many to count mostly LEDs ... My soon to be wife makes fun of me all the time about it. She really makes fun of me about my headlamps, until I caught her using one in the garden late at night. I have a flashlight everywhere. Not really in the old stuff either but I do love my dual fuel Coleman lantern.
My newest addition is in the mail...

I have a similar one in a gold color but only 1200 lumens, it was cheap so I decided to try and omg it was fantastic.

Dave - maybe it's not an addiction - maybe it's a necessity...I even use my phone flashlight in restaurants because it's dark and I can't see the darn menu. Guess my eyes aren't what they used to be - I'm not saying you are OLD or scared of the dark but...  |

I think Dave needs a hobby like rearranging his garage or restoring a ghia or a vert or might a dare say a westy

I have a few ... certainly not a addiction. For me they are necessary for work on dark stages and night locations. I have a couple of different headlights and a few mag lights, mostly spares/ backups, because working without a light is not an option for me. Even working during daylight I usually carry at least a small light in my pocket.
Some of the lights in that first picture look usefull. Have any if you used hats or glasses with built in lights? They seem like a good idea.

I bought a Streamlight from the Mac truck when I worked at NAPA and can't live without it. It came with two rechargeable batteries, and a 12/120 charger. It's awesome. The best for automotive work.
