Being able to set this light where you need it and rotate the head to the correct angle is a great help. I work on computers a lot and am constantly using this to get that necessary bit of extra light. It's nice and bright, and you can't beat being able to recharge it just as you'd do any of your power tools. I highly recommend it.
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. 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 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. It feels like it's made in a Harbor Freight Tools factory with little quality control. It's still working, though.
Excellent flashlight, easy to use with same battery as cordless drill.
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. Well illuminates hard to see areas.
The light is very bright and handy. Great flashlight. You can adjust it to shine where you like. 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. If you own a 14.4 volt drill and don't have the flashlight you are cheating your self. They are a little pricey but worth it.
