I use nothing but Milwaukee, however I really like how DeWalt uses the option to use 12 volt or 18 volt in some of their newer products! Such an awesome time to be in any trade right now, or just a homeowner just doing things around the house! Great video brother! You're my goto when I need an opinion on new tools! Just straight forward honest opinions and reviews! And thanks for not screaming the whole time! 🇺🇸🦅
I bought this light and used it for the first time yesterday and it worked great, I was at a site with no AC power and I used a 3Ah battery for about 4 hours then switched to a 2Ah battery for about 3 hours. I used it with an old camera tripod instead of buying the $200+ Dewalt light with a tripod. Lights up a completely dark large room. Glad I bought it.
Yeah, this is made for open spaces, not garage tight space work. I do outdoor work and I think this will be great for spot work. 2000LM is practical for the 50 feet of space I need lit up. I wish it wasnt $85 for a light, but I could always go corded work light with a 50 foot cord or generator then, and the price seems more reasonable for cordless.
Okay. I got this light. Its designed right. Spot on. I can fit a 9 a 12 and 10 amph and run on hi for 10 hours. Only with handle down or at 9 o'clock position can I get big bats In. But it's still great . What I have done is make my own hanger. With a 5/8 x 1 inch bolt and drilling a hole... I then use 3 ft of mechanical wire. Its because most of the time right over head hanging is desired and if only to the side is available the hanger will securely prevent falling and breakage. You can also buy a flex line on Amazon with 1/4 thread 25 inch long and a clamp. Enough to wrap around something. Just search flexible tripods.
nice explanation I was looking for, I understood why it costs a little more than average - but I wanted to better understand if it falls into water with the battery if it has good resistance; I'll watch the video better
Not sure if anyone's mentioned it (or if it would even work due to weight) but they have magnetic mounts that screw into the tripod threads (for DSLRS) They should've included a magnet on that large handle
I wish dewalt, Milwaukee, makita all these companies would send you their products before they release it. You're a 100% right why not have a plug option if it's for a tripod
@@slamdvw Exactly. I'll be using it out on a 30 acre forest while milling lumber, building sheds, decks, roads and trails... No power anywhere, but I have camera, speaker, and other equipment tripods and stands all readily available... If you want the tripod, spend $120 more and get the tripod light instead of complaining about the one that's designed to be versatile. Having a 3 lb portable and bright light that I can mount just about any way I want, instead of being stuck on a 16 lb tripod is worth having...
I know i'm late to the party, but the magic I see with this light is that it can for many, replace a tower light which are usually much more expensive. This will mount on most light stands used for photography, you can get them cheap and they're fairly sturdy, as they're typically designed to hold up much more expensive and awkward equipment. Carrying this light with one of those light stands is much more compact and lightweight than an actual tower light, as well as get to heights well above, 8-12'. I have tower lights and always dread carrying them or packing them into a vehicle unless i need them for days, so they end up sitting in the garage, whereas this light is always easy to pack and bring along with a light stand.
I'm going to build a bracket for my snow blower, mower and leaf vac. I need light in the fall. Rain and Snow should be no issue. I watched another video the guys were throwing this thing like a football. It would land and not break at all. The battery would pop out. So after seeing all this I'm sure it will work well
5/8 in.-11 and 1/4 in.-20 thread to attach any kind of threaded (loop)hook, camera mount, flexible leg tripods, etc. to hang it anywhere from almost anything OR just hang it from the handle.
I plan on using it on the floor, on a tripod, or even with paracord wrapped around the tree trunk... Just because it didn't come with the magnet doesn't mean it's not versatile, it has the tripod mounting holes which can be used to mount it to almost anything..
Will handle rotate all the way with 9 ah battery on. I love the small hybrid light on the left. I found the clap usless and was hard to use all 3 magnets ... so I cut both off. Now it has greater rotation and not unbalanced where in most cases I can only get 2 magnets on a surface. More versatile
I was debating to buy that light (I travel alot) main reason is because it's not that bulkier compared to ryobi's which it has all the mounting options hooks, stang etc. I think a nail would do the trick for downlighting other than that I'm fine by sitting on the floor. Just my preference tho. Cheers
I love this light, it works perfectly for my needs and, I really enjoyed your review. However, after using the light for 15 to 20 minutes using a 20V battery the light which is turned on to bright begins to dim then simply goes out. I swapped out batteries thinking that could be the issue but, after a fresh battery replacement the work light again begins to dim then eventually goes out after 15 to 20 mins of use. This is my second light. I returned the first light believing the item was defective. Have you had this issue? Is there a trick or step I am missing? I appreciate any forum feedback...thanks!
Its pretty similar to the Bosch one,. Only designed for tripods and to put on the floor. Even with the downsides I still love my Bosch. Maybe becasuse I have other 4 lights, that I use together, haha.
Brian, I just put up a 36X48X12 pole barn with a steel ceiling and I have been looking for some great overhead lights for woodworking and keeping my vehicles clean. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you, Charlie
@@islandcharlie7132 I will soon. I have 18 (6-bulb) T12 lights. I have a ton of the long tubes in there. They are starting to burn out and I am starting to change over.
I'm an electrician, I hate having light in my face too. I personally enjoy the newest Milwaukee's head lamp (500+ lumens?) I bought it out of desperation, but it's been a game changer for me 🤯 I follow your page and stopped here to see what's up with these lights. I have the older style 12/20v and like it, but I don't use it as much as my headlamp... Why don't you use a headlamp?
you're definitely right though that light should include more features for the $100 price tag that is quite pricey for just a light without a battery and it's not even that bright for the price either
its hard to tell but in the video it looks like you lift has an inner lip. I have cheap from amazon linkable 4 foot L.E.D. lights that you could put into the lip with double sided tape and face strait up. that would light up the whole underside of the car and they plug into ac. I use one under my hood.
@@WorkshopAddict I have these they are 1x1x48'' 6500lm and sturdy, I use them all over my garage and in the basement and attic. www.amazon.com/Hyperikon-Integrated-Single-Linkable-Fixture/dp/B012ENR1IE/ref=sr_1_32?dchild=1&keywords=LED+T5+Integrated+Single+Light+Fixture%2C+4FT&qid=1594845384&sr=8-32
When I am under my lift, I use a headlamp that takes 3 AAA batteries that last me over a week . I wouldn't use that light for the shop unless you loose power ?? Just my 2cents.
Dewalt now has another product they can make for this light! And adapter cord that slides on like a battery! Damn, that’s a great idea. Dewalt, you can buy this idea from me. I don’t mind
The DEWALT DCL077 is a great work light that I use almost every night working on my personal projects. Got them at a steep discount through from splakesmitzen
Good stuff, I always appreciate your video reviews, because of you I have purchased a few things so far and I have not been disappointed at all. It's been a while since I have seen you do a review on a pressure, I see that DeWalt has a new and interesting 1 I haven't seen anyone do anything on it yet and I'm sure you would do a awesome job at it . DXPW3400PR PRESSUREADY® 3400 PSI AT 2.5 GPM POWERED COLD WATER GAS PRESSURE WASHER hopefully you can get your heads on it thanks in advance if it's I will be getting it just want your opinion on this. All the best thanks again. 🙏💯🍻
I need a work light on a tripod like this for power washing at night. This is looking good! (I'm also a photographer so tripod mounts are no problem) Check out Super Clamps you can hang that thing all over
Seems strange that they really didn't think that one thru or maybe just for special market why not add a few more options make everyone (almost) happy and sell a shitload
The fact that it's going to spend a lot of time on a tripod, they should have made it a hybrid/AC. They (DeWalt) also did the same with the rocket light. It feels like a missed opportunity.
I totally agree. Makita makes a battery and corded led light. I love dewalt but they are falling behind. It’s not just their lights I’m talking about. Come on dewalt get ahead of the rest!!
Beast of a light,,,horrible design. Horrible hanging options..Dewalt lighting designers are completely lost ...who works in wet/ rain dark conditions? Every single construction company, builder, framer, remodeler... Just make a light that hangs, with a strong magnet, tripod mount and waterproof including the batteries....then watch millions get sold...it’s not difficult to figure out, Dewalt...
I grabbed a 1/4-20 threaded magnet for mine and it works great! Screws right into the handle and the light can get mounted almost anywhere
Was just going to say the same thing!
Same here. I saw an Amazon review suggesting a 150LBS 1/4 20 magnet. I went with the 150LBS magnet.

You can actually buy a 40 lb pull magnet with a round hole in the middle and thread 1/4 inch bolt through it into the. Light
The water bucket test blew my mind

Thank you for the battery life report it was completely left out of the basic review
Best Review for this product on UA-cam 👌💯
nice explanation I was looking for, I understood why it costs a little more than average - but I wanted to better understand if it falls into water with the battery if it has good resistance; I'll watch the video better
I have 6 different lights in total and they're all great.

An USB-C output would be a great gadget. Or maybe even an USB-C input to run the light and even charge the battery, that would be amazing.

You could always find a magnet with a hole in center and thread the magnet to one of them tripod threds with a bolt @WorkshopAddict
I have already tried that and I need one hell of a magnet to hold the light with a battery.
@@WorkshopAddict 40lb pull magnet won't hold that light with a battery? Or is it just to much of a hassle?

Don't use anything below a 20v 4ah battery. I run mine literally all day and still have a bar left towards the end of the day
Its pretty similar to the Bosch one,. Only designed for tripods and to put on the floor. Even with the downsides I still love my Bosch. Maybe becasuse I have other 4 lights, that I use together, haha.
Drill 2 opposing holes of the threaded mount & use paracord or coat hanger. The clicky handle position would still work well.
Thinking outside the box
MacGyver...
Fantastic review! I will be purchasing this slight!
Go with the 500 lbs pull pound fishing magnet on Amazon it already has the quarter inch thread on it
Thank you!
Good idea if you don't want to ever remove it again. Lol
thank you. appreciate all. video is helpful, in order to have a realistic opinion.
Good informative demonstration video Brian @WorkshopAddict
what is the run time on it??

hey mate nice vid is it a white or yellow light ?
White
Can compare the dcl074 vs dcl077?
thanks for the reply i just got one here in NZ and its yellow are the bulbs replaceable do yu know ?
I know I am very late but the bulb is a led… so you really don’t need to replace them for a VERY long time
Have you tried the DCL074? I think you'd like it under your lift.
I have not. Been pretty happy with the other two I showed, but I will check the 74 out. Thank you!

maye as well get the spot light over this
Depends on your uses.

Bought this yesterday because the dropped the price from $99 down 69.99 couldn't pass up
A $2 bungie cord would take care of the hanging problem.
Really? You want to hang the lamp with ability to position the lamp where you need it not hang of a buggie cord spinning around
Dewalt needs to built a magnetic base or something with a hook and mounting options that will screw on to the base
