5.0 out of 5 stars BEST FLASHLIGHT I'VE EVER HAD, July 26, 2000

This is the greatest fleshlight for work, because you can set the thing down and pivot the head to where you need light. It's like having someone hold it for you. It will withstand alot of abuse. It is very bright, for a relatively long time. The only thing that I can complain about is the price of the bulbs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fits Black & Decker Also, October 1, 2003

This review is from: DEWALT DW904 12-Volt Cordless Pivoting Head Flashlight (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a cleverly designed and well built product which will make a valuable addition to your tool box, PROVIDED you already have a couple DeWalt or B&D 12v batteries (they are interchangeable). It would not make sense to buy a separate battery for it, as they cost about 2x as much as the light itself. These lights are also made for other voltages, including 9.6 and 14.4 v.

I compared this light to a 2-D cell Magnalite which weighs about the same (1.5 lbs w/battery.) As one would expect given the difference in voltage (12v vs. 3v), the DeWalt appeared to be several times as bright as the Magnalite and has a beam 3-4x as wide.

I only gave the light three stars because (1)It is overpriced, even w/ Amazon's discount (2) Replacement bulbs are also expensive, although they do include a spare, and (3) You cannot focus the beam - a wider "flood" beam would be preferable to the more intense spot for many applications.

If all you want is a general-purpose lantern, there are several 6v dry cell units available which represent better value. However, this one will utilize your existing batteries & charger, and with its solid base and tilting capability can be configured to illuminate the typical work site better than most of its competitors.

I gave it 4 stars - 5 stars for its usefulness and 3 for its build quality. I have several cordless tools from different makes, so I'm not using up the batteries all the time like I'm supposed to from what I've read, but having this flashlight around helps me at least cycle through my DeWalt 12V batteries. The flashlight has a lightweight feel to it without the battery installed, so it clerly doesn't feel as "heavy duty" or solid as, let's say, a drill might feel, but I figure what should I expect? Maybe the yellow and black color scheme along with the DeWalt label makes me expect more? But, heck, it's only a flashlight! You can't vary the beam width as you can with a MagLite but you can pivot the head which has proven useful at least once. Lastly, I'm not quite sure how I ever got by without a flashlight in the shop! My final recommendation is that if you have a cordless kit from any make, get the matching accessory flashlight!
