LED WorkLight That Extends And Retracts For Working Under Different Sizes Of Vehicle Hoods

Published 09/30/2025

Question:

Will this light bar span the hood on my 2020 F-150 or does it not reach? not sure since it says it's only 18" but my hood is wider. hooks are like 20 something or maybe 30 inches apart.

Mark, yes, the # PT67RR light bar stretches out to about 78 inches, so it will have no problem spanning the wide hood on your F-150, no matter where the hooks or openings are on your hood. What’s nice is that when you’re done, it retracts down to less than 18 inches long, so it doesn’t eat up a bunch of room in your toolbox or truck. A lot of folks just stick it to the side of a cabinet or toolbox with the built-in magnets, so it’s always charged and ready.

For someone who drives a full-size truck, this is a smart way to get full engine bay coverage without juggling flashlights. Do you plan to leave it in the shop most of the time, or would you like to keep it onboard for road trips and roadside fixes?
