Milwaukee 800L Out Coast HP3R In

- I’ve been sitting on this video a few weeks now so I have a good opinion on both products.
The Coast HP3R is a nice little light I charge it once a week and as long as I don’t leave it on it hasn’t died on me yet. The small form factor is nice and the rubber bite guard is great addition for these small lights.
The MagMaster Pro really comes in handy once I remembered that it was there. I do get stuck to the side of forklifts now and then.

Funny story: When I was working on conveyors, I got one of those belt magnets. I was walking through a narrow passage with a coworker. The magnet grabbed the conveyor next to me and stopped me dead in my tracks and I fell right on my ass. Out of frustration I threw it in the garbage, and I couldn't get in there because the magnet kept grabbing the lid.
Haha
Red and green lights because you're gonna be asking for another one next Christmas.
LoL 😜👍🏻
Here's a tip. It has a warranty.
Call Milwaukee and get it replaced.
That’s my point
Let’s see here, it’s not hot, it’s not cold, it must have failed, thanks for the insight Milwaukee.
I have a room temperature failure 😜
Thank You for sharing this awesome update.
Being born in ‘56 makes me understand that 1995 was indeed yesterday.
Gawd, I'm only 51 and I feel like that!
I have a Streamlight I’ve had for about 20 years, under their lifetime warranty it’s been rebuilt about 4 times. I am very hard on flashlights, always dropping them. I have their Poly Tac X that stopped working and they replaced it also. Money well spent! 🤷♂️
The polytac is an awesome light. Really great beam for its cost, I've bounced mine around for quite a while with no real faults
If you haven’t, I would try the Milwaukee warranty just to see if they could help out. It couldn’t hurt
The problem is... you just get another copy of the thing that already failed on you once.
@@Heizenberg32 I get that, but it is possible the flashlight just took too perfect of a fall to stop working and possible that the next one would be more sturdy. Personally I would do it because you can use it other places that it wouldn't get beaten up as much.
Will at least get more use out of it until it failed again until the warranty runs out so you get as much as you can out of the money you spent
I bought a stream light and my kids where playing with while I was running my snow blower and some how it got sucked up and jamed my snow blower, kids right!!! I got it out and the back battery cap was gone so I sent it in, scraches and gouges and all and streamlight fixed it for free. I still have and works beautifully.
I recently won the bid of 36 bucks on a 3 pack of Coast cf1000R very impressed so far. But far as maintenance work I use a battery lights so there’s no down time charging just slap new batteries in an go
Coast has never let me down.
Their warranty is great too. I have a coast headlamp and the hinge broke. They asked me to take a picture of it, no receipt needed, and put a replacement in the mail a couple hours later.
Pelican is the only other company that I have dealt with that has a PRODUCT warranty like this. Every😊one else has a warranty for your purchase, no receipt no fixin.
I read the description and just as I was thinking, that magnet grabs anything you walk by also, lol.
Olight has a lot of options as far as work lights go...they usually have sales once a month...I own over 20 different olight brand lights and none have let me down at work and at home
I know it’s not apples for apples but I have a Milwaukee hard hat headlight that I used for years in the subway, that says a lot because it took a beating! It even got a trip through the washer and dryer in the pocket of my Carhartts! The on/off button is s little finicky but it still works well.
Thanks for preaching the good word about Coast, Wes. As much as I like Milwaukee, I'm not a fan of their lights for quality, longevity and warranty fulfillment. They're also kind of pricey. Coast has a great warranty, low cost and easy to get serviced if you ever need it.
Coast makes good stuff. I like the G20, due to the inspection beam. I use EBL rechargeable batteries I get off Amazon with it, and 2 AAA's last the better part of a day (Make sure to get the 1100mAh AAA's and 2800mAh AA's)
I will look at getting this one though.
Have a great day, Sir! And God Bless. o7
That 24" wrench will definitely drop your drawers!
And tighten your nuts at the same time. 😲
I've got a Streamlight ProTac 2L-X that's been a true EDC for over 5 yrs. During that time, its been dropped hundreds and hundreds of times, occasionally from over 10' onto concrete. It's been swimming countless times in the lakes, rivers even ocean of the PNW. Recharged God only knows how many times between 2 18650 batts. Has more worn spots than anodizing at this point, and continues to impress me.
I bought another & put it up for the (distant, apparently) day this guy finally dies.
Coast makes some good lights. Seems like a constantly changing line-up, though.
My HF bendy light has been submerged in water for over 24hours, left it out in the rain. Had it on the underside of my trucks hood and slammed it shut forgetting it was still there, it was still on and working. A lil' super glue and as good as new. It is still going strong after 3-4 years. Under 20 bucks, they are still under 20 a lot of times. Great light
Have been using O'Light flashlights for years. Am hard as hell on them, and they have yet to fail. Love their magnetic chargers. Even have two tiny ones on my keychain. One regular and one UV.
Bring a spare charger with you! You save 2 seconds every time you put it on the charger. You lose a week any time you need a new one!
@Heizenberg32 Have 3 magnetic chargers; however, despite my usage, I have yet to have to recharge until after I'm back at home. Have yet to have a battery failure in the 5 plus years since I switched over to O'Light. That's in addition to the USB charging cords I've collected with my little keychain flashlights. Not to sure what you're doing wrong.
Im on a led lenser, the older heavy 3x aaa one, circa 10yr ago i lost it, couple yrs later, a mate was fixing a van i drove for a guy on occasion, and found a/my torch on the chassis leg, Its now defo mine as the umpteen thou' miles vibration wore some unique groves into it. My mate waited till the batterys were flat before i got it back mind.
If you want a light that will work for years in harsh environments. I had the best luck with a maglite xl50 or xl200 it requires 3AAA batteries though. I used one for a few years in a urethane plant, constantly exposed to high tempature, dropped it many times including at least a few times from a ladder. Chemical exposure as well. I still have it and it still works but the lens is fogged over from chemicals now and the rubber over the on off switch has torn.
In my new career, water distribution, we use bushnell pro 1000L. They're lithium battery and rechargeable. They've been subject to extreme cold and hot, being dropped, tossed around, in the mud and muck and still work.
Also, the maglite is only like $27 for the xl50 and $36 for the xl200. The bushnell is about $55
I’m going to agree with most of the other comments and say Streamlight. I’ve got one and it’s amazing. I personally am not much of a flashlight person though. I love my head lamps. I work for the railroad and need both hands free most of the time.
An opportunity for a review video of Milwaukee aftersales/warranty service perhaps...
As others have said, get a Streamlight. I have one from the late 90's that's still kicking.
Also, Klein's 56412 is a solid option.
Streamlight doesn't offer as good a value as Coast. Streamlight is more expensive and warranty fulfillment can take a while. Coast has a lifetime warranty, costs less and has faster warranty service.
I can’t imagine having a flashlight that isn’t rechargeable anymore. Although, all mine are streamlight and probably always will be. I’ve absolutely abused mine over the years and they truck right on… even under high stress and recoil.
I have a couple streamlights I have had them for several years and I love them
@@Jezus42I lost one of mine …… I’m still grieving!
@unwired1281 I've misplaced mine a few times(that's why I in fact have 3) but they always come back and still work
@@Jezus42 it’s been awhile I think she’s left me. I think knowing how I lost it would help but it was just gone. Hopefully someone found it and gave it a loving home.
I've carried coast for 5 yrs they have a great warranty ive only used 1x on a $12 light
Does it ever seem like we're making stuff too complex? Why does a flashlight even have the ability to fail? The wiring diagram is what you get when you look up a stock image of a circuit. It's the most basic electrical thing there is. If you replace the bulb and batteries, a flashlight should last until the materials decompose to dust.
Because its milwaukee and a lot of their stuff is over priced garbage
I still have my Streamlight from my auto mechanic days 18 years ago
That Milwaukee flashlight has lifetime warranty
Yes but then you have to deal with shipping it out to Milwaukee and then down time as you wait for them to verify your issue and send out a replacement. I've got a Coast G20 that I've been using for well over 2 years now of daily use for when I walk the dog at night time and it still works fine. I'm not hard on it. I've dropped it less than five times but it still works fine.
@@Foobiez unless bought from home depot, then he can just walk in and replace it. I haven't warranty swapped Milwaukee, but I just replaced a Klein tool yesterday at home depot, he didn't even need the receipt, he just swapped it right there no questions. if Milwaukee is the same, maybe it doesn't matter where it was bought from, can just have home depot handle it.
just saying, even if he wanted a different flashlight thats fine, but no reason to throw out the milwaukee, at least replace it.
@@wrefk Yup, always buy local and keep the receipts. Warranty returns only cost time.
Had mine for 6 yrs still going strong
Seems like the Team Red folks would have a warranty. Might give you a back up. Good luck!
Coast is my go to!
Streamlight man. They are worth their weight in gold. Hlx for high lumen. You pay 100 but they will last the better part of a decade
They are awesome.....till you lose it
@b3tomm12 Lol, i have lost 2 so far. Had another get eaten by belt and still works
If you can get over the propriety charger, olight is up there too. I carry an arkfeld pro for the laser and to charge glow rods when running wire. Warrior mini 3 is my 2nd favorite.
@@codyhoward6509 true I work maintenance at a resort and I use the OLIGHT Baton3 Pro. fits nicely in my shirt pocket and I got it in bright orange so I don't lose it as easily as my old black flashlight
@@codyhoward6509 I have thousands of dollars worth of Olights, like hundreds and hundreds of Olight flashlights. I have been using them for about ten years at least and have never had an issue with a single one, from their small keychain lights all the way to the giant 14,000 lumen big bois. Their customer service is absolutely second to none, just amazing.
Waiting for someone to call Olight Chinese junk as if streamlight isn't made in China too😊
thank's for all the inofs! take care ,till the next one
I'm a LedLenser fan. Got three of them that I use around for work, and then my brother has one as well. On the pricier side, but worth.
Well you touched on one of my things I buy too many of, so I've got to tell you... Over the years I've bought several led rechargeable flash lights, and this one hands down has been the best for me, NICRON N7 600 Lumens. I have four of them over a year now, and zero problems with any of them. Less than $20 on line, and then I bought a pack of rechargeable batteries for them.
Hope you try one.
Stream light for 30 years on my second only because of switch to led still use both. The batteries last about 7-10 years and never a problem. And my headlamp is a coast you get what you pay for.
Nebo makes good flashlights too. I had one that lasted about 10 years. It survived a trans fluid bath, oil bath, countless drops, and got ran over a few times. It however didn't survive me misplacing it in the parts washer (the dishwasher style). It somehow made its way into the tank and didn't find it till about 6 months later when we drained it for a good cleaning. After that... it no workie lol. I've had a few other Nebos too, all very durable. They are half the price of streamlight and just as durable IMO
If you go to their website and send that light through e-service they pay shipping both ways and will most likely replace it... Milwaukee does have a nice warranty, I have used it many times and never had an issue.
Mine just did this, if you wanna mess with it, bending the battery pins on the inside of the flashlight outward a little so they make better contact fixed it for me. Ive had mine for about a year.
Gotta love the Swarfmaster Pro, you'll be finding all sorts of crap on the floor.
Wurkkos FC11 has been great for me fixing appliances. 4 brightness levels, USBC rechargeable, and the magnet on the back end is powerful enough to stick to a drywall strip or the inside of a washer. The battery usually lasts me a week.
Mine did that a couple days then stopped. I've had it over a year. Not the biggest fan of it but it's still works
I have a Fenix LD22R and I gotta say it's a beast for it's size. Think it was about $70 ordered online, but it was completly worth it.
Those rubber grommet things are a great idea!
So simple you think it would be a standard thing.
I also have this Milwaukee flashlight and I do like the light itself but I have had it for prolly around the same amount of time as you andine still works but most times I have to push the button multiple times to turn it on. I would have replaced it by now but it's hard to stop using a $70 light before its fully broken
That red coast is 1 of my favorites
My experience with Milwaukee warranties here in New Zealand (I've had a couple), Drop the tool off to the retailer where it was purchased (authorized Milwaukee retailer), pick it up a couple days later repaired or replaced no questions asked!
My work gave me a u line flashlight and it’s been really solid. Has a magnet charger on the back.
Best bang for the buck is coast hands down. I love my streamlight but it's soo expensive.
Mini maglite with led conversion , good light , good focus , cheap , and doesn't tire the jaw when my teeth have to hold the light .
Downside is it doesn't absorb the drool when I have to hold the light in my teeth for extended periods.
I have the coast hp8r and ive used it for years and its fallen off my truck on the road a number of times when i let friends borrow it and it still works. I only buy coast or Olight.
Crib death. It happens to tools sometimes.
Milwaukee fan boy here. If it’s crap, especially if it looks that pretty and not beat up than it’s crap. Of course this is a one of one so not conclusive.
I had 6 - 9 amp M17’s that suicided all within a week of each other. Two were recovered but one only half way. They aren’t perfect certainly. I have a Milwaukee pen light that is 8 years old and still amazing, but again it’s a one of one example so I can’t really say if that means they’re good. Like everyone else said, Streamlight is definitely very reliable so if it matters go that way.
I’ve got a magnet like that I wear on the back of my wrist or forearm during many jobs. The work great
Get a Streamlight. I have dropped my Stinger from a fully raised 4 post lift more times than I can remember. 10 years of hard work and it STILL works.
My Olight has held up for 5 years of service as an equipment mechanic
You'll get good service from the HP3R, I've had mine for about 1.5 years now and haven't been very nice to it. It hasn't failed me yet.
My Fenix PD35R has been bulletproof for several years.
I'm pretty surprised by this. I've had mine for about 4 years and it's still working like the day I got it.
I have 2 Coast Polysteel headlamps and both have a break on one side of what hold the lights to the battery door; it doesn't really affect usage except when changing batteries. I did a warranty claim on the first one and it was stupid simple. I may have to do a warranty claim on a new rechargeable one since the Ni Mh batteries are bad. Coast is excellent for their warranty and their products are good.
No warranty? 2 years minimum in the UK, although some places try and get away with 1 year.
I've switched to NEBO Redline flashlights. Those seem to work pretty good. Good price too. I currently have the Redline V model. Works for my needs.
I have the same coast in green and I love it
Streamlight
Ive had giod luck with the braun grey colored stick light from harborfreight. Its git a normal light a side light high and low a black light for a/c leaks and the belt clip is set up so you can clip it to your hat like a headlamp. With a mag base.
Though ive had good luck with coast over the years too.
I would warranty claim it and you might end up getting the USB-C version of the flashlight since it was updated recently.
When you initially said those were double A batteries lol I was Holy crap. How big are your hands?! Nice light. I've used the same bike hat bill light for years. Nice magnetic. Sure, it won't get covered in iron dust like all mine are 😢
makes me wonder if my old compact Maglite still work. Good old solid quality
I have the same problem with mine and never dropped mine. I have a problem when they are not used for awhile. What seems to work for me is when that happens I bang it on a hard surface and it then works, its worth a try for you, thanks Bro
I’m all for a caveman repair 😜👍🏻
Coast are great flashlights, but I don’t really like having to click the button multiple times for the brightness. They should just use a switch.
That red/green flashing almost seems like a lockout setting. It’s possible that the functionality isn’t properly documented in the manual, but without knowing what management chip they use it’s impossible to suggest further troubleshooting steps.
I was thinking the same. I tried pushing and holding it for a while and got nothing. The manual says nothing about it 🤷🏻♂️
Forgot about Coast. Need to give them a try again.
Kinda leery about magnets on the belt. Don’t want to kill my cards of phone.
Like to see if it magnetizes the tool over time.
if a Flashlight cannot survive a drop from the height of your clacker bag, it aint worth having.
Westinghouse ngl multiple head attachments is a good to have
The IP in IP rating actually stands for International Protection, this is because the standard that defines IP ratings which is IEC 60529 states so. It is a really common misconception that IP stands for Ingress Protection.
If the hip magnet could be flicked on and off like a magswitch, I would not have to worry about catching the bus by mistake :)
+1 for Streamlight Micro and Macrostream
Nebo makes a decent light for the price. I have the inspector rc. The only problem i have had with them is the rubber on the button breaks off. But for 30 bucks theyvlast a couple years for me as a mechanic
This is why I buy flashlights from FLASHLIGHT companies.. not grab all tool companies wanting a profit.. I love Milwaukee and won’t ever leave them, but flashlights and certain other things I stick with a real source.
I might have to get a streamlight. Everyone in the comments seem to love them.
Did some searching and seem to be common problem with those Milwaukee flashlights.
I'm sure the warranty will cover it.
I love Milwaukee and easily have more than $12k of Milwaukee tools and packout. That’s said, when it comes to flashlights I only trust OLight and Streamlight. OLight makes a “Baton 4” light that is cheaper, lighter and objectively better than ALL of the rechargeable lights sold by Milwaukee.
i have like 8 h3prs they are my go to light
I have a similar Coast flashlight that my son has decided is HIS light saber, maybe I'll have to give this one a try.
Damn, I'm over 40 now and I remember playing Star Wars with my friend when we were 5 using flashlights as lightsabers... Lol. Nothing new under the sun I guess. Good to see our trend setting has endured... Lol
😜👍🏻
I really like the olight arkfeld or whatever its called. Pocket edc light but still bright. I got the flashlight with a uv light. I use the uv light for cleaning up crap and finding leaks. The regular light is bright. The other option is a flashlight with a green laser. I find the uv one to be more useful in my life though. Only thing i dont like is its not got a user replaceable battery. The new arkfeld pro might but not sure.
I have this cheap chinese keychain light i got from my grandpa like 3 years ago and its all beat to hell and still somehow is bright as hell
My dumbass forgot to mention it's called the led lenser k1 you can buy it for like 10$ and looking directly at it may cause blindness
Badass little flashlight
I had a similar issue with the Milwaukee pen light with the laser pointer. Dropped it one time and never worked again.
I rock Fenix flashlights, there are many good brands out there, thrunight is a good one too.
I hate the lights that have one switch and 3 functions. The flashing strobe is useless ,
I'm with you on this 100 percent!
The strobe is annoying.
I won’t buy a light with a strobe. It’s annoying and I’ve never needed it.
That’s what’s nice about the streamlights. The 10 tap allows you to make it do what you want. Mine is set so the first click is low beam, second click high and no strobe. It cost about the same as the broken one in this video
@@jeremyrobertson223 awesome.
Thank you for the information.
@@jeremyrobertson223 i like the old school mag lights. And at work the nexel. Or the horrible frieght free ones
I've had pretty good luck out of the coast HP3R if you want to try a cheap light that is good try the covmax I paid 20 bucks for mine two years ago and its still going strong
yeah do warranty claim just to see how it works out :D
thrunite or streamlight, best for the money. reliable.
Damn good
Extremely strong magnets close to your body can be hazardous, please look into that. I believe it concerns the iron in ones blood.
I would buy that shirt if I had the extra money
Try Fenix lights. So far I’m very happy with all mine.
i got a 500L that ive been using for years doing maintenance never had the lights flash like that that sucks man
Olight Arkfeld Pro 👍
