Makita flashlight August 29, 2010
hvac4me
This flashlight was great to start with. It worked about 2 weeks, then broke. Was going to cost me more to have it looked at than I paid for it. Wouldn't buy again.

Makes a good LED flashlight! April 3, 2010

I got this in a kit, and figured it would be just another ho-hum light, like the flashlight that comes with just about every cordless kit so they can claim it includes one more tool than it really does. Other than Dewalt's snakelight, none of them really offer any advantage, other than using rechargeable batteries.

Then I decided to try a Nite Ize LRB-07-PR1W 1-Watt LED Bulb Upgrade/Replacement for Most C/D-Battery Flashlights. Even though they're only designed for up to 6-cell lights (9v), both the bulbs I tried worked fine. Going off the specs, the light should last a whole day with the slim battery, or over 2 days with the fat battery. I left it on all day with a half-charged slim battery, and I got tired of looking at it before the battery died. It turns a so-so light into a long-lasting, extremely bright light... too bad Makita didn't make it LED from the beginning!

About the only downside is the lack of beam focusing, though other cordless lights aren't focusable either. You must pick either a wide flood beam (the cheaper Nite Ize bulb) comparable to the regular bulb, or a narrow spot beam (the linked product) that doesn't even hit the reflector.

nice flashlight March 15, 2010
michael kleer (pittsburgh, pa.)
i have had a couple of these flashlights in the past and they hold up well. i am in a pretty rugged working environment and the thing will take a beating plus the battery itself provides a nice base to set the light down while working.

love it only because it came with my tool set January 12, 2010
Timothy D. Courage
I was so sad to have this stolen from me because to buy it alone seems a waste. It is not that sturdy but is seemed almost as bright as a car headlight. Loved it when the power went out. Sigh! Don't know if I would pay 40 or so bucks for it though. May be if I can find it for more around 25, I think that is a fair price for the chincy make.
