40" Leak Light for Saxophone Clarinet Flute Oboe Woodwind Instruments Repair Tools

I had trouble finding the right leak light to check my woodwinds and I wasn't sure this was right for me. But it's worked out well. It is affordable. It fits my flute, clarinet and saxophone. It has an American outlet plug. It has LED lights so it's not hot. It's very flexible. It took a while for delivery because it came directly from China, but it was delivered in the promised time frame and packaged well. I am very happy with this product!

It's extra long. Great for Sax to Clarinet.Bright light, so it will so any leaks you have.Bright white LED's.Not expensive. Took a little longer than I hoped it would,but worth the wait.

I bought this based on all the positive review here but now I wonder if those reviews are from people who have never used a real leak light before.I have lots of experience with traditional (non- LED) leak lights and traditional leak lights radiate light all the way around so you just push them in the bore and they work. This one is a flat strip that lights only on one side and in one direction so 75% of the tube is in darkness and you have to twist/rotate the strip and hold it in place in order to light up the toneholes - which I found extremely difficult to use. You have to use one hand to hold the light and twist it back and forth to get it to shine towards the pad you are tying to examine. This leaves you with only one hand free to do adjustments on the pad. The thing is constantly twisting and seems to only want to twist around so the lights are pressed against the wall of the tube so there is no light at all shining in the direction of the toneholes. In order to have both hands free to adjust things, you would have to set the horn on a table and then tape the light in place and then not move the horn at all --- which is silly because you need to move a horn all around when you are working on it and the moment you move the horn, this light will flip around the wrong way so there is no light at all for the intended purpose.EDIT: As an experiment I tried folding the strip in the middle so it now shines light front and back this helps hold the strip where you put it so you don't have to use one hand to hold it all the time and it lights up the toneholes much better that way. Not sure if that is the intended way to use it but that is the only way I can see it being useful at all.

It works, short story

I was looking for a simple leak light to help me figure out if a trip to the repair shop was justified.It works well enough, is bright enough, long enough and flexible enough for my alto sax (probably tenor sax as well)It only has LEDs on one side, so you might need to rotate it a bit to get the light shining in the right place.It does heat up a little bit upon use, but not dangerously so.

Very bright and easy to use

Exelent for the saxophone, grate tool to work with
