I work on computers a lot and am constantly using this to get that necessary bit of extra light. I highly recommend it. Being able to set this light where you need it and rotate the head to the correct angle is a great help. 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.
It's still working, though. 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 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. I just worry that someday the head will snap off, or become loose on it's detents. It creaks and squeaks when you try to adjust it. 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.
Excellent flashlight, easy to use with same battery as cordless drill.
It uses the same battery as my drill and still works after I've dropped it a couple times. A lot of the people I work with use similar Makita lights so I got one too. Well illuminates hard to see areas.
They are a little pricey but worth it. The light is very bright and handy. 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. Great flashlight. I have never had a flashlight that uses the same battery as the drill, but it is the most used flashlight i ever had. You can adjust it to shine where you like.
