Fenix WT16R Rechargeable Work Light Review: Hi, I’m Terry from Mr. Locksmith. Welcome back. I’ve had Fenix Flashlights for years. I have a previous video on another Fenix flashlight I use daily. This is called the Work Light, so it’s a Fenix Work Light and it has a magnet.

The Fenix WT16R magnetic flashlight is a great all-purpose work light. A single switch allows you to choose between three brightness levels of a forward facing spotlight, two floodlight levels and a yellow flash. Magnets on the tail and back let you attach the light to most metal surfaces for hands-free lighting. The sturdy clip allows you to attach the light to your belt, pocket or pack. Check the built-in battery’s status with the battery level indicator and recharge it via the USB type-C charging port. Quality built with an IP66 rated dustproof and heavy rain resistant, the Fenix WT16R Rechargeable Magnetic Flashlight is a good fit for Locksmiths.

Fenix Rechargeable Work Light
First, it just look interesting. This one ranges in price from about $75 to $95, depending where you bought it. I bought this myself from the local police supply house. They are available on Amazon, as well. The Fenix products have been so heavy duty. If you looked at my last video, I had the same flashlight for eight years using it on locksmith jobs, and I just bought a new one just ’cause. This lock, this looked interesting. I thought, okay, let’s take a peek, this is kinda cool. And lets see, it’s got a magnet apparently, and they call this the Work Light. Let’s see what we got here. Okay, what do we got in the box? Instructions, a strap, USB-C rechargeable. The battery is rechargeable and is not removable.

Apparently, the battery is integrated into the unit. And there’s the light, the switch. It’s got a clip. It looks kind of interesting. It looks like it has some rare earth magnets. You can stick it. I will put it on a door. It looks like you can stick it there, stick it there onto metal. It has a little switch. Let me see what happens. So, it’s got three settings, low, medium, and high. Now what’s kind of cool, hold this down. Look at this. It’s only 300 luminance. Now that’s pretty impressive. We’ve got the lights. And then if I hold that down, you got the flashing orange. That is nice. That is nicely bright. Now, this is extremely compact, very light. A built-in battery, USB rechargeable. Now let’s put it on something metal that we can play with. Let’s test out the magnet. Whoa. One, two. One light. Look at that. If you’re working on a safe, oh my goodness, that is like, not a strong enough magnet to open the Sentry, but you know I have magnets that will open this. Ah, this is perfect if I was working on, jeez, even just when I’m changing the dial on the, changing the comb on some safes, I can see the index lines perfectly as I line it up. This is just showing you basically what it can do. I don’t know what I’m gonna do with the orange, but I definitely, wow. That is nice. That’s probably the number one selling point for this thing for me.

And let’s stick it on a door. This is unbelievable. Look at, for picking, if I got to pick the lock, I can see what I’m doing. I can go from different angles. That is my, I don’t need that, but low light. Oh, just highlight. I tell you, for safe work and lockouts, and if you’re an automotive locksmith, for the doors, because you got lots of metal for it to stick to, this work light is absolutely phenomenal. Just look at that. Just put it right there. I can pick my lock. I should’ve made this easy to pick, but I didn’t. I won’t pick it right now. Look at that, just perfect for picking locks. Fenix, water resistant, beautiful light. Love it. In conclusion, I think it’s gonna be fun. We’re gonna play with it, see how it goes. Oh, you know, I love my Fenix flashlights. This is something new. So another great product in the Fenix line. So you’ve seen the flashlight, this is the Work Light. And stay tuned for, let’s see how the headlamp goes. And I’m gonna do some jobs with the headlamp on it. And I’m gonna try this on a few night calls on picking the locks. And also, my favourite, putting it on Sentry safes.
