On the plus side, the switch feels reliable, and is thankfully not a plastic slide-type, but is instead the rubberized push-button type with a distinct "click," similar to the type you get on a D-cell Maglite. It feels like it's made in a Harbor Freight Tools factory with little quality control. I just worry that someday the head will snap off, or become loose on it's detents. The bottom-heavy light stands up reliably to light up ceiling or under-desk jobs (installing CPU holders), and would also light up a night-time tire change (if you happened to have your toolbox in the car).All in all, it does what it's supposed to do, but feels like it should cost half what it does. It's still working, though. It creaks and squeaks when you try to adjust it. I also wish that Makita made an LED conversion for this light, as it would make the battery last at least three times as long.
Excellent flashlight, easy to use with same battery as cordless drill.
Well illuminates hard to see areas. A lot of the people I work with use similar Makita lights so I got one too. It uses the same battery as my drill and still works after I've dropped it a couple times.
The light is very bright and handy. If you own a 14.4 volt drill and don't have the flashlight you are cheating your self. Great flashlight. You can adjust it to shine where you like. They are a little pricey but worth it. I have never had a flashlight that uses the same battery as the drill, but it is the most used flashlight i ever had. I am not using my drop light at all since getting this light.
It has many different positions to direct the beam of light onto most jobs. The flashlight can hang from a string or stand alone. This flashlight fits in the case with the drill as well as uses the same battery. The flashlight is hard to find a retail outlets so this vendor was a real find.
