Product Description

ML140

14.4 Cordless Flashlight

Comes with bulb and carrying strap, no battery included.

Amazon.com Product Description

This Makita 14.4-Volt Flashlight has a handy 4-position head so you can shine straight or angle the light (rather than your elbow) for those awkward jobs. Set the light on 0, 45, 90, or 110 degrees. The POD-shaped handle means the light won't slip out of your hands. This light also uses the same battery and charger (both sold separately) as other 14.4-volt Makita tools. The battery gives you 160 minutes of continuous use on a single charge. It's also compact at less than 11 inches long and, weighing just over a half pound, it won't wear out your wrist. Plus, years down the road when that first bulb finally burns out, you'll just pull the extra bulb (included) from its convenient location in the head of the flashlight and save the day.

A little flimsy, but still does what it's supposed to do. - Reviewed on 2008-08-06

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. 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.

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. 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 feels like it's made in a Harbor Freight Tools factory with little quality control. It's still working, though.

Excellent Makita Flashlight uses same battery - Reviewed on 2007-03-31

Excellent flashlight, easy to use with same battery as cordless drill!

Great light - Reviewed on 2007-03-09

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.

Another Makita Great Item - Reviewed on 2007-01-18

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. I am not using my drop light at all since getting this light. The light is very bright and handy. You can adjust it to shine where you like. 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.

Flashlight perfect companion for drill - Reviewed on 2006-07-31

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. The flashlight can hang from a string or stand alone. It has many different positions to direct the beam of light onto most jobs.
