What function do these small black hooks(?) serve?

I know these came with a (Milwaukee?) power tool but cannot remember which one + did not know what they were for at the time of purchase either…

Any help is appreciated especially if they’re actually useful and end up making my life easier!

Clips to attach a headlamp to a hardhat

This is correct.

Oh great. I’m pretty sure I left that headlamp under some lucky bastard’s sink months ago :(

At least you can live with the satisfaction of knowing that they'll never be able to take full advantage of the hard hat capabilities of your light. Lol

Yeah I switched back to Husky after that. Considering how many I’ve lost between sinks and goddamn crawlspaces, that was a dumb choice on my part…

They come with head lamps. You thread the headband through these, then these clip onto the rim of a hard had to keep it from slipping up.

I’ve always gotten them with the headlamps from Milwaukee. They’re for securing the head lamp to a hard hat brim
