Inspection Penlight with Laser

Had high hopes for this light. I'm a welding inspector so I use it on a daily basis in sometimes harsh environments. Worked well for a couple of months. Changed a few batteries to be expected. But now it is dimming even after I replaced the batteries. I'm thinking maybe the bulb is weakening but I don't see where I can get a replacement.

Great little light with a great little laser, very well built and the glow in the dark ring is very nice and bright.

This is a well built very durable unit. The glowing ring is a nice touch if you set your light down in a dark place. The laser works well on walkthroughs or site inspections to point out things at different elevations. As far as the light goes, I expected a little more. It's just not bright enough for me. I have similar lights that are much brighter using a single LED. That being said this is very durable and will last a very long time.

The name of this tool describes its look and function perfectly. It’s roughly the size of a pen, it has an LED light and a laser. The LED runs off the same battery as the laser, so you’re only ever changing out the 2 AAAs inside. The buttons for each are separate and not easily mistaken, and they can both be turned on at the same time. LED Light is ON/OFF switch, while the button for the laser requires to be held down. Rubber grip is great for handling, even if it gets a little dirty or wet. It’s not water resistant though (or at least it doesn’t say it is) so using it in wet environments isn’t recommended. The battery compartment does have a rubber gasket on it though, so dirt and/or water isn’t going to get in right away. It is drop resistant to 10 feet. As an added feature, the LED light charges a glow in the dark ring around the lens. It seems to me that the amount of time the light is on is about the amount of time the ring stays illuminated. So, if you’re looking for the light in the dark of the garage or the tool shed, unless it was turned on recently, it’s probably not going to be easy to find. It does work well however, if you’re using the light, set it down for a moment in a dark space and lose track of it. In that scenario, the green ring works great. Battery life is supposedly about ten hours. I’ve used for about half that without any diminished output from either source. Range on the LED is not great, perhaps twenty feet usable range, but it’s not designed for range, its designed for inspection! The only thing I don't like about it, is that the lens is fixed as a spot light. While this gives even illumination over a broad area, it doesn't allow for focusing the light to a point, which can be necessary. It has a clip, which is removable.

This is a wonderful little flashlight. I imagine it would be an asset in the maintenance and repair industry from which I retired. I think most home owners would find dozens of uses for it too. At my age I always need a little extra light for looking for the remote control under the couch or illuminating an object to see it better while working on something when watching TV. This flashlight takes up very little real-estate on my end table so it is always nearby and handy. And it doubles as our cat's favorite toy. He loves chasing the bright red light all over the room. Of course we are very careful to keep from shining it in our cats eyes. At nearly 50 lumens it is very powerful and bright for its size. The light is very white without a hint of blue. And in a power failure, the glow ring would probably be bright enough for me to easily find it on the end table by my favorite chair. All this is a wonderful little rugged well-made light from Klein Tools.

Great light but not bright enough. Kleins always robbing Peter to pay Paul on its products it seems. One light will have small size and great lumens (56411) but not the laser and then the one with the laser doesn’t have enough lumens. Like why couldn’t the insides of the 56411 just be used for the laser one too?

Pocket clip broke the second day carrying it. The rubber charge port cover broke the 3rd or 4th day, ended up losing it. Thank God it was $22 + tax.

It's bright enough but I wish you could twist the top to broaden or narrow the focus of light. Other than that great tool!
