It's sturdy, very bright light, good swivel head (but takes a few moments to figure out how to turn the head), battery lasts a long time, very reasonable price, and is perfect if you own any DeWalt 14.4 volt cordless tools. Even if you didn't, it would almost pay to buy this with a battery and charger!

I always have needed a good flash light spot light, since I live in a rural area. The fact that the rechargeable battery is replaceable, and not only that, interchangeable with my drill, circular saw, and shop vac makes this the best spot light I have ever owned.

We have purchased multiple rechargable flashlights and each one of them have died in the process of rarely using them. Plus, some of the specialty bulbs were very expensive. When we discovered the Dewalt made a flashlight which uses the same rechargable battery pack which fits my husband's cordless screwdriver, we purchased the Dewalt Flashlight right away. We use it for multiple tasks. We have an extra battery anyway so now we can use this flashlight anytime we need one. Great versatility and great product.

I work for the telephone company in rural N.E. Oregon-I use this flash light every evening in the rain, snow and freezing cold to see addresses, spot downed lines and for a work area light. Since I have other 14.4 v. DeWalt tools on my service truck I always have spare batteries and a d.c. charger that works fast.
The rotating head makes it easy to position the light beam where I need it and the base on the battery lets it set solid on a flat surface.
The light beam is plenty bright enough for me to inspect storm damaged aerial lines up on poles from the ground that may be 30-35 feet away.
The pistol style grip is easy to hang on to and when I rotate the light head straght it tucks under my arm nicely to allow me to see what I'm doing and work with both hands.
Also, this light is durable! I've dropped it sevral times from 25" on frozen ground while climbing poles and it keeps working. Best of all-never have to buy batteries! I LOVE IT!

Decided to buy this specific light due to knowledge with it beforehand (father's flashlight that I got him). Decent brightness and adjustable head that doesn't go out from constant use or adjusting (old one is probably 2-3 years old). Can use this light an entire day (8 hours non-stop, left it accidently in an area I was working in.) with a fairly new battery and it will still be lit, albeit it will be noticeable that it is drained. But all in all the one I have hasn't disappointed me as it has done as expected so far.

For someone who already has the 14.4 volt tools, this make the most sense. High intensity beam, and very durable. I have owned several C or D cell flashlights over 20 years, but they all seem to die right when you need them most. This is well worth the cost and could possibly be the last flashlight I need to own

For about a year and a half, long enough for the warranty to expire, this was an outstanding flashlight. It has a very bright light and was steady and positional. After a year and a half, the head stopped pivoting and the switch began to only work after much jiggling and fiddling. I expected better from a Dewalt product.

I bought this flashlight for use around the house and for camping. Since I already have a 14.4 DeWalt drill, it was an easy decision to pick up this high quality accessory. So far I have found this flash light to be very good quality: the beam is bright, the head is adjustable, and it stays put while standing alone on its base (the battery pack). Based on all of this I recommemd this as a fair deal on a quality product.

This is a nice accessory to have, if you already own a DeWalt battery pack and the charger. Basically, that would limit my recommendation of this product to those who already own a cordless 14.4 volt DeWalt tool. While the flashlight itself is relatively inexpensive at about $25, the battery pack and the charger are not. The battery pack cost more than $50 apiece. Add the cost of the charger and you get the idea that this is not a flashlight system that you buy on its own. But, if you already own the battery packs and the charger, then spending an additional $25 will get you a very powerful and durable flashlight.

I bought this flashlight because I already own the 14.4 volt XRP drill. The flashlight and drill are sharing the two batteries that came with the drill.

This is a very nice, wide-beam flashlight. The craftsmanship is what you would expect from DeWalt. The light is made of quality materials. And, due to the design and the bottom-heaviness of the battery pack, this flashlight can "stand" on its own. Perfect for those times when you don't have someone to hold the light for you. And, because it throws a wide beam, this unit can illuminate quite a lot of area. I highly recommend this high quality light to those who already own a DeWalt tool that uses the 14.4 volt battery pack.

I have had two of these flashlights since they first came out (in 1993 or 1994 I think) and we use them constantly! Each light is used an average of 4 times per night to "take the dogs out" in addition to other incidentals.

I love the fact that I can set the flashlight down, the weight of battery holding it in place, and can use the swivel head to direct the light. I have NEVER had a problem with the swivel heads.

These things are very durable. They have been in the dust, dropped from ladders onto semi-hard surfaces a few times, out in the snow and rain, stepped on and knocked over a ton of times - in plain English, just used and abused, but they still keep working!

Battery life on these flashlights is about 3 hours of continuous use and I have changed the bulbs only about 3 times on each light. The light is bright enough to light up the dogs pretty well about 60 to 75 feet away - depending on the battery charge state. When we lose power I set up a couple of the lights in the house and point them at the ceiling to light up the rooms. MUCH safer than candles...

It may sound kind of expensive at a total cost of $94 ($25 per light + ~$60 for a battery + $3 each for the bulbs) but I figure about 1 hour use per day, per light for 10 years (and still counting) results in a cost of just 2.6 cents per hour!!! (not including the electricity cost for the charger). If you already own a Dewalt rechargeable tool, the cost of ownership drops to less than a penny per hour based on my experience. How can you beat that investment???

My only small nit with these lights is the switch can sometimes be hard to turn on. I found that a dab of Di-Electric Grease every couple years on the switch easily fixes that.

If these lights ever die, I would ABSOLUTELY replace them with the same model. Short of a major disaster, I would say these things have at least another 10 years left in them!

Ive been an electrician for almost 20 years and this is with out a doubt the best flashlight ive ever used. Only problem is w/me i have lost more than several of these puppies over the years, i tend to leave them in attics. Its not cheap, roughly [money] for the flashlite and [more money] for a battery. Im using a [inexpensive] throw-a-way flashlite @ present, he , he, but will buy another battery and flashlite soon...

Got mine in a combo pack. Light is durable and bright but after a year of use, it will not turn on with the switch. I have to turn the switch on and then give the battery a good whack to get it to go on.

I have used this light so much that I now carry it in me tool bag every day. The only problem I have had with the light is that it breaks right at the swivel joint. But, I'm buying another one because it is the brightest, most useful light I've ever owned. Gotta love those people at DeWalt.

If you own a DeWalt drill or the like, you will enjoy this flashlight. 1. Its brighter then anything I've owned (including MAG lights) 2. Lets you fully utilize the batteries that came with my 14.4v DeWalk drill. 3. Very sturdy (like my drill) 4. Neck has two angles 90 and 180 degrees 5. Easy to see (bright yellow) 6. Batteries are rechargeable (not included)

Beware, while the catalogue shows the flashlight WITH a battery on the flashlight, it never says it does not come with a battery. In the Editorial Comment it says you can buy a battery separately.

I am an electrician and this flashlight has become invaluable to me.Great for working under crawl spaces.You can sit it on the ground and point the light up while working overhead.I told my bossman(and father in law)to go buy is own because he keeps stealing mine! GREAT PRODUCT!
