This incandescent work light has a non-metallic guard and an swivel plastic hook. The handle has an ergonomic shape making it easier to hold and handle. This unit also uses our exclusive 90 deg cord swivel which keeps the cord up and out of the way making it possible to set the light down on its base for additional hands free use. It uses a push button switch and has a 25 ft 18/2 SJT cord.
