This heavy-duty headlamp, which is water-resistant, can last for up to 9 hours on a charge.

I'm a dad. I do the usual handyman-type jobs around the house. And more often than not, when I need to throw some light on something, I reach for my phone.

That's dumb, because headlamps exist. Like this one: For a limited time, and while supplies last, Amazon seller Ikaama has this multi-LED rechargeable headlamp for $14.89 when you clip the $2-off coupon and then apply promo code 35MLOMSO at checkout. Regular price: $26.

This is an infinitely better solution than my phone's flashlight, primarily because it's worn on my head and therefore keeps both my hands free.

It's also considerably brighter, with three separate LEDs, a red "taillight" and a rechargeable battery good for 6-9 hours, according to Ikaama. (The length depends on the number of LEDs you're using; there are different modes available. One of them is strobe, just in case Dad gets lost in the woods at night.)

You also get clips for attaching the headlamp to a helmet, for if there's hard-hat work afoot. You can recharge the batteries using an AC outlet or USB port -- cables for both are included.

So, yeah, $15 for a super useful tool? Who wouldn't dig that?
