61QmNAxuKHL._AC_SX466_.jpg.7e58a446c0967aaccda2079d7a2f9c16.jpgLED road beacons. Seen them for €30 at the Tool Hire, found them in Lidl for €8 each. Nine flashing modes, torch mode, waterproof, floats, can run them over with a lorry, magnetic, hole for a zip-tie, runs on 2 AA batteries. I have four magnetically attached to the ceiling of the van. Very handy when working the roadside on hedgerow, strimming etc. Slap a few on the van, or balance on top of a traffic cone, or zip tie to the cone. Hang em on the sides of the ladder when working on the street. Have used them once at a car accident scene. Local, rural firefighters hadn't seen them before, thought they were brilliant. Cheap enough you could sacrifice one to mark a road hazard at night when you could leave it and continue on, maybe saving someone's life. The batteries last for ages..

A disposable tool really, but the straw bale!  I did first see the idea on arbtalk, and it's worth reiterating, absolutely no impact damage at all (on target that it is), great for awkward stems in sensitive areas.

Bought one this morning for £80 whats not to like for occasional use. Seems well put together and quick test seems to work fine. 3 year warranty plus spares available. Thanks for the heads up.
