The Bosch GLI18V-420 18V Worklight Provides Outstanding LED Illumination Virtually Anywhere on the Jobsite
Small size, nine-position bracket ensures illumination is go anywhere on the job or at home
Mt. Prospect, Ill., August 9, 2016 – There’s no place where light is more important than on the jobsite. At 420 lumens, the Bosch GLI18V-420 18V Worklight provides the brightest illumination in its class with a three LED-design. In addition, it can brighten dark work areas at different angles and offers an adjustable light beam for spot/flood applications.
The three LEDs in this worklight offer the best illumination for a pocket-sized unit so users can light virtually any hard-to-reach, dark-corner work area on the jobsite. And the Bosch GLI18V-420 Worklight provides a dial to adjust light diffusion. Users are able to shine a high-intensity spotlight on a specific area where it’s most needed or can turn a control dial to diffuse light in illuminating a larger area.

Central Pneumatic 3-Way Quick Coupling Manifold (Review)
Filed under: Carpentry, Compressors, Finish, Manufacturing, Mechanic Tools, Nailer/Stapler, Painting, Plaster/Drywall Repair, Recycling
This is Central Pneumatic’s 3-Way Quick Coupling Manifold, and it works well.
The instructions on the package of the manifold instruct the user to connect it to a 3/8 inch line. This would work for anyone that runs their compressor line from their truck or van, but I know that many of you use 1/4 inch fittings.
I decided to forego the 3/8 inch line part and found a 3/8″ to 1/4″ coupling, and ran it off my trusty Rolair JC10. It would be great if the manifold came with the coupling and fitting used in this review, but I’m sure they wanted to keep costs down.
(Assembled with a bit of Teflon. Make sure not to torque too much, as brass fittings are quite soft.)
I can’t speak to the durability of the manifold, as I have only been using it for a week, but it looks like it will hold up well.
To buy: Central Pneumatic 3-Way Quick Coupling Manifold (currently cheaper through Harbor Freight).
