I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS PRODUCT NOR HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE PURCHASING PROCESS. I ONLY HAD IT FOR A FEW WEEKS, BUT WOULD RECOMMEND.
Very light and very bright equals an excellent flashlight.The four star rating is only because I've had it for a relatively short period of time.
This light works as well as it should (you turn it on it lights up) It has a very powerfull beam I'm not sure of the candle power but it's got to be around a million or more. The price I got was less than half of avarage price i found on the web sites suggested by makita and it came in less than 48 hours for the standard shippipg rate. I was extremely impressed with the speed in which it was delevered and the price was un believable. The price on the light in my review says $40 but I only paid $29 and like 6 bucks shipping.
Light weight, well balanced, and puts out a lot of light. Free standing with the battery attached. The head locks in 3 positions: Hor., 45, & Vert. The power button is a rubber-shrouded thumb-high push-button on the back.I bought the drill separately (came with 2 batteries), but if you can get the two together, go for it.
I've used similar products from Dewalt, Ryobi, older 9V Makita, and none are perfect. It's bigger than I expected, build quality not a nice as the current 18V LXT drills, but hey.it's a flashlight. Just don't expect to much and you'll really like this light. When the battery gets low, it just shuts off instead of normal, lights fading to dim. I was actually expecting something more from Makita with the product as it's not the brightest either. I've recently switched from all Dewalt tools to Makita 18V LXT and I'm happy overall. It's worth having matching equipment with a single charger / battery setup than multiple tools and chargers to tote around.
