I’ve been a tool guy since I was about 9 years old. That was about the time that my step father got me interested in working on cars and motorcycles, about 45 years ago. One look at my garage will tell you that I never lost my appetite for tools.

Modern manufacturing techniques and cheap foreign labor has been a boon for tools just like it has for everything else. When I need a special tool of some sort, I am always amazed at the low price I can pay for a quality tool. That’s not to say that there isn’t a lot of cheap junk out there, for sure there is. But if you know what to look for, you can better better, cooler tools for less money now than ever before.

That brings me to the latest cool thing I came across. It’s called a Joby Gorillatorch. The is a recent adaptation of the basic Gorilla tripod that has been around for a little while now. I have one of the Grorilla tripod that came with a small video camera that I bought. It’s very cool, especilally for backpacking trips since it’s so small and light. You can wrap it around a tree branch, or easily adjust it to sit on a rock with your camera.

But the Joby Gorillatorch takes these little tripods to the next level. It sort of reminds me of the old Black and Decker snake lights. My son got me one of those (still hanging on the wall in the garage!) about 12 years ago or so. It worked pretty well, but the light was dim and frequently you couldn’t get it to stay where you wanted it, since it only had the one flexable attachment.

The Gorillatorch has three legs, a bright LED light system and the feet are magnetic!  How cool is that? I don’t own this new gadget yet, but I am buying one today and I’ll let you know what I think of it as soon as I have had time to play with it some.
