MakitaDML801 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 12 L.E.D. Flashlight, Flashlight Only, Black

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great light easy to use adjustable and light weight

I really like this Makita led light. I have bought two of them because one was for me and the other for my husband. it is so useful that my husband use it in his wood works where there is not enough light.Under the bottom cabinets, everywhere .Also you can use the 18v makita batteries from 3amps up to 5am. You can use it all day with the 3amp and still you have power in it. You can adjust it to the ceiling to the floor etc. and diminish the light to a confortable one depending on your needs. It is a led white light .I also bought one as a present for our son and is really happy with the new Makita light.Great product, affordable price and long lasting item .Will recommend to everybody. You don’t know when you’re going to need it.

Bought this and the Makita DML806 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless L.E.D. Lantern/Flashlight Tool. Have a really hard time picking favorites, but decided to buy a second of these for work based on it's extreme usefulness. If you don't need something to double as a lantern, this is the way to go. It's also $20 cheaper, although still priced quite high for a flashlight.If you don't have the Makita batteries and charger, this is an insanely expensive light that totally isn't worth the money. If you do have the Makita LXT tools and batteries, you probably already know how great they work. You probably also have a spare battery at least partially charged ready to go. Being able to snap a battery on at a moments notice makes this a really great tool. If you've ever went for several flashlights only to find all are dead and require 3 AAA batteries to be changed you know the hassle.The light swivels in just about any direction you could ask for, and makes it really fantastic for directing a bright, cool to the touch light (as much as the smell of oil burning on a 75 watt bulb sets the mood). The hook makes it great for the hood, and the size of the light neck allows it to fit into tight spaces.It has a great grip that's always easy to hold and not lose control of. Many of the metal flashlights, including the Xtreme Bright Multipurpose Work Light & Lantern; Hands-Free Retractable Automotive LED Light Bar Attaches To Any Metal Surface. More Than A Basic Handheld Flashlight -Ultimate Camping Lantern are difficult to hold. The Makita has a great grip, and also has the battery pack weight on the bottom to keep it standing on most flat surfaces.

Great light, very bright, with a 5 amp battery lasts all day. With a hook a strap and an adjustable head it’s usable for just about any situation. Stable since its base is the heavy battery. Highly recommended

I do like this light, but it has a blue hue to the LED's that I find a bit distracting. It is more blue than any of my other lights but is also one the most handy lights I own. -1 Star because of this, but I would still recommend this work light.

The BEST makita light.

I started buying the Makita cordless products a few months ago and this was high on my to buy list as I often end up working on things as the sun sets. This has not let me down I have probably used it more than my drill grinder and impact driver combined though the driver is in a commanding second place. The light has proven great for everything from grilling after dark to brakes and oil changes as the sun sets after work. The overall build quality is top notch and the grip is sure when holding with cold, numb, or just greasy hands. Maneuvering the head to point at the work I'm doing is easy and steady once it is set. The 2 hanging hooks( 1 built into the head and 1 on a strap that goes between the base by the battery to the swivel joint) make setting my workspace up a breeze. Our grill has a small roof shelter above it and the lights hooks hang it nicely above the grill and allow me to see how things are cooking without risking my phone over the flame. This stays in my car with the charger and spare battery and is a comfort for if I should need to use it. There are 2 brightness settings which are essentially blinding and mostly blinding if you're looking at it but to illuminate a space the light is bright yet diffuse enough to be of real use over an area in either setting. It is not a spotlight and so has low distance use though it has been used to search across the yard more than once for 1 thing or another.Overall a sturdy feeling light and powerful as need be in the vast majority of situations

So useful
