INSPECTION LIGHT: The mechanic's own tanning booth. Sometimes called a drop light, it is a good source of vitamin D, "the sunshine vitamin," which is not otherwise found under cars at night. Health benefits aside, its main purpose is to consume 40-watt light bulbs at about the same rate as 105-mm howitzer shells during the Battle of the Bulge. More often dark than light, its name is somewhat misleading.

(dunno if you get them in the states, but Haynes manuals, aka the 'haynes big book of lies' are auto workshop manuals)
I keep that and a 140 piece toolkit in my car at all times.
Although the big book of lies is wrong, it's just full of phrases and sentences that require you to have a degree from UI to translate.
"you do what with the what, turning counterclockwise from the bushing on the what?"
