We like a company that empowers its employees, and here's a prime example. Big Ass Solutions is well-known for their Big Ass Fans and Big Ass Lights. Then one of their mechanics, former auto technician Keith McKay, figured he could harness the company's manufacturing and lighting prowess to produce something he saw a need for: A tough, portable, bright, long-lasting work light.

With the company's encouragement, McKay spent two years designing the Big Ass Light Bar. Now it's ready for primetime:

At press time the Big Ass Light Bar had been successfully funded on IndieGogo, gathering $83,000 in pledges on a $25,000 goal. It's expected to ship in July of 2017, and for those of you that want to pick one up for $385 (it's expected to retail for $500) there's still eight days left to pledge.
