THIS SHOULD SELL YOU
The reason I made this separate page is to pretend you are standing in front of me and I am trying to sell you on how great these lights are and why you should buy all of them all at once. Why are these lights gamechangers as I say they are? Remember, I am a professional auto mechanic 45 years. I still operate a mobile auto repair business to this day, I just do it part time now because now I am building and shipping lights so often. I’m 67 years old and I have done every repair job you can imagine. I am no novice. I can diagnose and repair almost any condition on any vehicle. All of these lights exist for a unique reason: because each one proves itself in all different situations. No one light can do it all just like one scan tool cannot do all the cars.
The Stick-Light – lemme rant… You have a belt/pulley noise on some FWD car and there is just a 2 to 3 inch gap for you to see the belt turning the pulleys and you have to decide what is no good. Well, I used to use an Astro flip light that I thought was the greatest light ever made (that was a long time ago before Goose-Grip existed). But now, I plug in the 39” Stick-Light and I can slide it down next to the pulleys and belt on a running engine until it’s touching the ground and I get to see every single detail. You do not miss anything with 3600lm beaming out of 39” and you can pivot the light as you inspect all you want to see and listen for your noise while you see and you see real good, better than anything you ever had before. Just one good use of being able to place a 39” light all the way to something you need to see without having to put your arm/hand into that far away place will pay for the light! Or you can use it as a standard underhood light when used with the included eyelet magnets which work only on ferrous metal hoods but this light weighs only 7oz and even on aluminum hoods there is usually at least one ferrous bolt head and the center hood catch made of ferrous metal that can support it, maybe at a slight angle but if it works it works...
The Vacuum Suction Plate Light – This is a light most often used in the engine bay mounted to the lower windshield. You are doing a GM LS water pump. The light stick will hang just in front of the engine vertically, horizontally or any angle in-between and it stays there like magic as though you had a person standing next to the front fender holding a light for you, but Goose-Grip doesn’t move after you place it and even a human assistant cannot hold a light still. Move the light at will all around the engine bay with just a lift and reposition. No other light has this capability. Also, auto turn-on and auto shut-off is coming soon as an added option, not available yet still working out the bugs but that will help prevent you from forgetting to turn off a light when you walk away and drain your battery. The Vacuum Suction Plate Light is the #1 seller. How about looking INSIDE OF A DASH while you are disassembling it to get a HVAC housing out. No light can go where Goose-Grip can go. Suction plate mounted to inside windshield or door glass or sunroof glass - 9mm light-stick thickness and 14mm width and 12” length. You can slide it in-between so many things and reach a 12” depth with 1300lm. No other light can do that at ANY PRICE! You can illuminate a blend door actuator that is still attached and get access to those screws easier when you can see them!
The Super-Articulating Chassis light – This is a mostly under the car on a lift light. Lets say you are taking out a conventional rear drive transmission. How about attach the Vise-Grip to the exhaust pipe and you guide the 24” + 12” light-stick with swivel up next to the transmission bellhousing bolts and you can now clearly see them and any clips or brackets under those bolt heads. And the only thing you have is a 12" light stick that is not in your way. You will be a winner! Lets say you attaching brake lines to the anti-lock brake assembly on the frame rail. Piece of cake with the Super-Articulating Chassis Light which uses a genuine IRWIN 12” Large Jaw Vise-Grip as a mount method. You will be a winner with those brake lines. And any other under the car job.
The Swivel-Stick Work Light with Remote Mount battery Housing – This light will likely be used more often as the first light you grab until you then see the job you will be selling and then doing in which case you will likely/maybe switch to one of the other 2 gooseneck lights.
And lastly, lets talk about what will happen if you break the light, any light. You can reach me – yes you can call or text the guy that designed and built your light. That is me. I will send you whatever you need to fix the light, but you have to have a little skin in the process as well. I don’t bill you anything for parts, but you will always pay for shipping and this is non-negotiable. That is all I ask. Snap-on doesn’t do nothin for you and Astro doesn’t do nothin for you. So do not whine when I ask you to pay 12 or 15 dollars for shipping.
All these lights exist to eliminate work light stress that I experienced just too much in my 45 years of auto repair. My advice, buy all the lights if you can afford to. You will never say to someone that you regret buying them because they are that much of a gamechanger. I don’t care what other tool you bought that you thought was a gamechanger. The targeting of a work light outweighs everything else.

This worklight set was designed and built with the input of 30 other lifelong professional auto and truck mechanics.
Everyone clearly talked about the problems associated with hand held worklights,
head mounted “headlight”, underhood hanging worklights.
​
The problem is they all do not get close enough to see the hardware that you are trying to access with hand tools.
The underhood light is good to illuminate the top of the engine, but it will not show you the heads of bolts down below hoses and pulleys and you end up grabbing a hand held light and working with one hand often just to break loose bolts.
The headlamps worn on your head – it gives many of us headaches after a short time
and lets face it, ya gotta aim your head or constantly adjust the aim.
​
It works but they are not without their issues with battery life, you must control the aim always.
Magnetic flip lights well there is limited places to attach with all the plastic and alloy and the range of motion in limited.
And what about when you need to change a brake light switch or a clutch safety switch or
unbolt a brake booster from under the dash?
​
There is no good way to illuminate the nuts and bolts that are up near the top of the
brake and clutch pedals or the nuts holding the booster.
You end up holding some type of “flashlight” with one hand and using a ratchet and extension
and socket with swivel in the other and you hope you found the bolt.
​
The Goose-Grip™ Mechanic’s Worklight can attach to any glass nearby and can go down and back up under
the dash and stay put where you aim it, even inside the dash inches from what you need to unbolt.
Clearly, Goose-Grip™ Mechanic’s Worklight has so many clear advantages that
if you are a real mechanic, the function need not be explained.
​
One look at one video of Goose-Grip™ being used on a job should go right to your pleasure center as any intelligent mechanic knows that being able to position a light source at a strategic place to illuminate your target area and not have to hold that light source so you have both your working hands free is a wonderful thing.
Plain and simple advantages.

Some additional information about myself and my company – Goosegrip Products LLC. We / Me is a small company in Myrtle Beach, SC. I am a professional auto mechanic and I am still a working auto mechanic although I do not know for how much longer I will continue fixing vehicles because my obligations to the design, and assembly and shipping of Goose-Grip Work Light products that we make are beginning to require much more of my time. What is a small company vs a big company? Is a small company something to worry about vs a big company when buying a product? Somehow, I grew up believing that if you buy a product from a big company that you are somehow more protected? Like if the product breaks quickly you will be ignored if its a small “noname/unknown company? Big companies have been doing bad things to many people that buy their products for decades. Protected from what? Goosegrip Products is a small company – a micro entity yes. You will never be ignored by me if something goes wrong. I’m the CEO and my personal phone # is 843-310-3000.
My company makes mechanic work lights. We make 5 different types of work lights + one more coming out soon. I designed each one because I first made each one for my own use when I was out there fixing cars. A work light is a tool and a very important tool and it is used on more than 50% of all jobs every day in the average general mechanic’s life. When I open one of my drawers in my toolbox I have many different styles, shapes and sizes of various pliers. Why so many pliers? Because the job requirements vary wildly. For me, its also the same thing with work lights. A work light has to fit into the spacing requirements of different jobs, so over the course of a couple of years I paid attention to lighting needs that were not being fulfilled well due to access limitations of hand-held lights currently out there . Is there anyone who would know better what light needed to be brought to life than a 64 year old professional auto mechanic fixing cars every day for 40+ years?
The work lights we make are made one at a time by hand. And before we consider selling a new product I use it for many months to see its shortcomings if there will be any and to find its weakness if there will be any. If there is anything that worries me after using it, I fix it, I redesign it until its reliable and rugged and does not break. I am of the belief that I expect to sell all the different lights I make just one time to the mechanic. I do not expect that the light you buy will wear out and have to buy another. Buy it once and I will keep it fixed and functioning like new for lifetime for -0- money under warranty. The reason it broke does not matter. I don't care if you drove over it. But, remember, you will have a little skin in the game too because many of the repairs will require the light to be shipped back to us to carry out the repair. Disassembly of this light and reassembly is not as simple as replacing a Silverado Alternator. You will have to pay all shipping costs to us and from us. We eat the repair costs and you eat the shipping costs.
Once you have our main vacuum suction plate work light and you see how much it helps you in your daily routine, consider buying the other products we make as well. Because nobody said that a mechanic had to select just one work light and expect that one work light to get used in all the different jobs. Y’all buy multiple scan tools nowadays and we justify that, right? No reason to just have one work light. Have all the lights that can be used in different situations. Cover all the repair types with Goose-Grip™. You will not regret it.
