The Products We Love - Ethan’s Favorite

For this installment of Products We Love, we’re catching up with Ethan – RISK Racing account manager by day, motocross enthusiast by weekend, and unofficial office innovator 24/7. If there’s a way to use a product in a completely unexpected (but oddly effective) way, Ethan’s probably already tried it. Need a creative lighting setup for van life? He’s got you. Want to know if a MudAxe can double as a turkey burger flipper? (It can, but I REALLY don’t suggest it.)

Ethan’s go-to? The FLEXIT Under Hood Light. Whether he’s working on his van, dealing with a fuel filter disaster, or transforming his van into a Pinterest-worthy tiny home, this light is his ride-or-die. And if you thought the Under Hood Light was just for cars, wait until you hear how it doubles as a headboard light for "next-level mood lighting."

Curious? Let’s shine a light on Ethan’s favorite ways to make the FLEXIT Under Hood Light a multitasking masterpiece.

What do you love most about the FLEXIT Under Hood Light?

The FLEXIT Under Hood Light is like that reliable friend you can always count on – it’s there when you need it. The magnets and hang strap options make it versatile. And the light output? Consistently amazing. Whether I’m working on a project, setting up camp, or just need hands-free lighting, it’s got my back every single time.

Where and how do you like to use your Under Hood Light?

I mainly use the light when I’m working on my vehicles or bikes. I have a van that I’m constantly working on and making improvements to and the Under Hood Light is my go-to for these projects.

What project do you plan to use your Under Hood Light for next?

Well… My fuel filter exploded last night (It’s a long and kind of funny story, but we’ll save that for another blog). So I better make that my next project. No doubt I’ll be using the Under Hood Light.

Ethan, you’re best known around the office for your creative use of our products. (A certain MudAxe turkey burger incident comes to mind.) So what is the best non-conventional use for the Under Hood Light?

I use it as a headboard light in my van for some next-level 'mood' lighting. The flexible design lets me set it up perfectly. Whether I’m relaxing after a day on the road or setting the vibe for a cozy evening in. Plus, it’s lightweight and easy to move around – perfect for van life!

And for the record, I was just trying to make turkey burgers in peace in the back of the warehouse, but Aryanna and Evelyn will never let me live that one down. Apparently, flipping burgers with a MudAxe is 'unsafe.' But hey, it worked! AND it added more nutrition and flavor to the burger if I do say so myself.
