| "18V Not-so-versatile Pivoting Head Flashlight" |
Date: 3/13/2006 |
"I was very excited to get this light...initially, I liked it. Out of the packaging, I hooked it up to the 18V battery and it worked, emitting a fairly bright beam. The sales ad says that it comes with an "extra" bulb, which was not included. I emailed Amazon regarding the issue and they sent a 2nd light to my address, instead of sending a bulb or two (?). It is worth mentioning the the re-ship did not have the extra bulb either. I had pretty much decided to just purchase the other light as well, thinking I could use one and leave one in the work truck as a spare. Then, I was using one of the lights, hit it pretty hard with a board I was using in an attic, and it fizzled. I went and got the other light, used it the rest of the morning, then went to use it in the afternoon and it was burnt out too - with little to no abuse (that I can remember). I sent both of the lights back - they aren't as durable as they should be. Instead, I ordered two of the flexible-head lights (Dewalt 18V). A few of my friends have these and have had no issues. I will leave a review for those as well when I have had time to put them to the test. All in all, this is a bright light, but if you put your equipment to the test day-in and day-out, it might not be the quality you are looking for."
