Braun Mechanic light plastic crack

Tilting the light bar of Harbor Freight's Braun 390 lumen magnetic led work light (Part # 63958) can cause the plastic to fracture at it's base.   Therefore use the base, not the end of the light, to tilt the light bar.  

In this image, I used two zip ties to strengthen the plastic base.   The manufacturer needs to make this metal.

Update: 3d printing a tight fitted sleeve part is another way to go.  PLA plastic is some hard stuff.
