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.
I just love Makita products. I don't have to buy disposable batteries anymore. This flashlight adjust angle from 90 degree to 180 with a 120 resting area to. Thank You Makita Stands up easy.
Don't know if I would pay 40 or so bucks for it though. It is not that sturdy but is seemed almost as bright as a car headlight. I was so sad to have this stolen from me because to buy it alone seems a waste. Loved it when the power went out. May be if I can find it for more around 25, I think that is a fair price for the chincy make. Sigh.
It had not broken yet but I'm sure one good fall and it will. It is a bit flimsy for field use. Needs to be able to take numerous drops at 6'-10' for me to be able to recommend to the professional. More substantial feel/weight for field use. Only bought because I already have extra batteries for my drills available. Light quality is very good. My suggestion to Makita, have the folks who engineered/designed the current version of the job site radio RE-design this light. Adjustable head needs more defined detents [positions] it just "flops" down too easily.
Light is perfect for my electrical work. I carry my drill and light in the same bag, so the light is always ready to work.
