Stercorarius Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Both solid lights, would like to pick up the Milwaukee thoughJimboSent from my iPhone using TapatalkYeah this ought to give people an idea of what the difference is. All three are solid lights. The Dewalt spot light is easily the brightest and most focused but the Milwaukee gives you really high quality lighting. Not nearly as much light as the M18 lantern. The Dewalt area light brightens the area really well. It's sighlty more blue and the hinge is a little loose but will definitely be seeing the most action just because of the even lighting and format.

Love the spotlight, bright as hell and it's nice having the red LeD even though I don't use it often it's nice to have that option.Well for the little bit extra money I might as well go for the m18 then.JimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're under a vehicle at night the red LED really saves you because you don't get blinded if you get in front of it on a creeper. Really all are top notch lights. You won't go wrong with the M18 lantern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santi_78342 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Milwaukee tool bag was a $10 Craigslist find. My little piece of Australia also came in today. Thankfully a bird eating spider didn't jump out of the package 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The redhead huh lolGuys I got the m18 lantern! Just today, but first impression is very positive, love the double hook idea, the USB port and it feels quite solid. The sticks of leds where they unfold are ingenious really so I'm looking forward to using it.Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I found a 1.5 battery lasts longer if less pressure is applied while cutting, I know that doesn't make sense but if a blade is good and cutting well it seems it goes thru just as good. Revisited the M12 Hackzall with the 4.0 battery and new Diablo carbide tip wood blades; zipped right through a 2X4 and then some, battery still has all 4 lights. Seems like the misc wood blade I had was a bigger contributor to the battery drain than I thought. I do like the Hackzall with the 4.0 battery better, it seems to give the tool a little better balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its amazing how 1 bad blade will drain your battery, causing the motor to work harder and accomplishing less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I learned my lesson about using blades that came with tools, think this particular blade came with a B&D saw. I also found the blades that came with the Hackzall after the fact, I mixed them in with the metal blades, DOH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was between this and the Milwaukee version and I went with this because it was smaller. Plus I haven't heard too many good reviews on the Milwaukee.
