Question about crawl spaces in older Atlanta neighborhoods

Last month I had a job in Virginia Highland, one of those historic districts with houses from the 1920s. The crawl space was maybe 18 inches high at best, full of red clay that turned to mud. I was on my belly for two hours trying to fish a line through a floor joist, and my drill battery died halfway through. The homeowner kept asking why it was taking so long over the baby monitor they had down there. Honestly, I almost quit the trade that day. What do you guys use for light and power in those tight, wet spots where you can't even turn your head? I need a better setup before my next call in Inman Park.

Got a Milwaukee M12 rover light, the magnetic one. Sticks to a joist and lasts a whole shift. For power, I run a 50ft extension cord from my van and use a small corded drill, batteries always die at the worst time lol.

Blair_Williams69 has the right idea with corded tools, just get a good headlamp too.
