At 30% off, this remarkable $14 USB-rechargeable flashlight is an indispensable PC building tool — Olight lights up the dark corners of any DIY project

The humble flashlight isn't the most technologically advanced piece of tech on Tom's Hardware, but it is one of the most essential pieces of kit that anyone can own. The Olight imini 2 is now just $14 at Amazon, and we consider this an essential purchase for PC builders and life in general. How can we say that with authority? Because at least two Tom's Hardware editors own this flashlight, and one of them is writing this deal. This isn't the first time that I have evangelized this flashlight. I added the Olight imini2 to my PC fixing kit.

The Olight imini 2 flashlight doesn't have complex buttons or twist controls. It only has one light level and no power switch. So it's effectively useless, right? Wrong! The flashlight is magnetically connected to a cap; removing the flashlight from the cap triggers the bright LED light to turn on, and gives you the light that you need. But wait, that's not all! You see, the cap also has a reversible USB-A male connector, and that means you can charge your Olight imini 2 from any USB-A port, even from your PC or laptop!

The Olight imini 2 is great on your keychain for those dark nights, but it also works extremely well for PC builders. Most PC cases have some ferrous metal, usually the chassis, and the magnet at the bottom of the Olight Imini 2 will stick to the case and provide plenty of light for those dark corners. I've used this myself when I decided to deep clean the inside of my PC case (there was so much dust!) Need to screw in a motherboard, locate the pins for the power button, or jumper settings? The Olight imini 2 is at your service and now at a great price!
