Makita DML801 18V / 14.4V Li-ion LXT Florescent 12 LED Light Torch - Batteries and Charger Not Included [Energy Class A+++]

Very good, bright powerful torch Very versatile I've purchased 3, shame makita batteries are the dearest on the market, so would use cheaper Chinese made versions.

The media could not be loaded. Makita can sometimes be a bit hit and miss across the range (coming from a Makita fan), however this is one of the really great product! (Pros ☑️ and cons ✖️review below). Hope the video 📹 was useful to show different movements.Whether your bought into the Makita ecosystem, or you’re thinking of this is your first purchase, this is a really great place to start. Versatile, easy to use and well built being the punchlines here.Pros:☑️ incredibly well built, high quality plastics and protective rubbers. Feels like a quality product, and can easily take the occasional drop on the floor.☑️ Provides a full 360° of movement, and The quality of the joints are incredibly high.☑️ there are actually two different hooks included in the package. The first hook is built-in to the back of the light (see photos) and also pivots 360°. The second hook can be attached almost like a lanyard and comes separate in the pack.☑️ incredibly bright LEDs, which have two settings. First button press turns on the LEDs to the maximum level, with the second press turning them into a dimmer mode.☑️ even with a 5ah Makita battery, the product is still light and versatile. However would probably be better with a smaller 3ah battery instead. (AllMakita batteries are sold separately, like all other Makita products)Cons:✖️ The top of the LED light can only rotate 360° in one direction. Initially a bit confusing, and there could be a tendency to force it the wrong direction on occasion.♾ In conclusion, a great all-round product. I bought it on Amazon for less than £29, which also makes this a bargain against RRP. Would recommend!

Probably the best torch ever! Nice and bright.. Lost my other one and had it over 4 years. Couldn’t do without it

Whenever I see Makita on a tool, I know it’s built to last. Their products are consistently reliable and durable—exactly what you need for tough jobs. It’s not just the brand name; it’s a guarantee of quality and performance. If it’s got Makita, you know you’d buy it every time!

A little on the expensive side but this gives a good light & is easy to adjust. Good rubber grip but on/off button difficult to locate. I’ve been using this for nearly a year & still struggle with the concealed button, but this is my only gripe.

Great work lamp

Mine came in a blister pack with an additional two-point strap with hook accessory that you need to attach yourself. That's not been used yet, but the built-in hook and adjustable head have already made the lamp indispensable.The two modes use 12 or 6 LEDs respectively. I've found the 6 LED option bright enough and an 18v 4ah battery will run for 30 hours plus in that mode. The lamp is very stable as the battery forms the base, so there's no frustration with it falling over if the head is angled in certain ways.It was originally bought as a light source when chasing out cable runs and inspecting floor voids, but the run-time also makes it ideal for camping; two fully charged batteries will easily see you through a week or so. It's since come on holiday with us and has been indispensable, especially when unloading/loading the car in the dead of night.Issues? None. If I could change it in any way, I'd add 3 or 4 LED mode I guess, but I'm nit-picking, and overall it's a great way to reuse DIY kit for something recreational.

If you already have Makita batteries this is a very useful portable light at a great price from Amazon. By slipping the lanyard over you head you are able to illuminate whatever is required whilst leavening both hands free.
