Customer Reviews for Milwaukee 445 Lumens LED REDLITHIUM USB Rover Pocket Flood Light

This light is just a bit bigger than a smart phone, and the light output is incredible. I use a headlight also, but this will light up an area fairly effectively. I also like that it shows you the internal battery status when you turn it off. With the magnetic base that opens up fully and the swiveling head it's almost impossible to not get light where you need it! Included heavy USB-C cord is just icing on the cake.

Really quite disappointed with the product unfortunately. It was given to me as a gift, sealed and brand new. Just opened it up and went to charge it up only to find the battery is getting the red/green alternating light indicating, "Damaged or Faulty Battery"

I really wanted to like these little lights. I have had the older model with micro USB for about a year and after the clip broke off of my chest strap while night hiking, I bought the newer model to replace it. I had the second one no more than a couple weeks and went to stick the magnet to my toolbox and ANOTHER broken clip! I wish I would have read these reviews first. I really wanted to like these but, the clip is a huge failure. What’s worse is that the replacement clip is half the cost of the whole light! Stuck with two perfectly good lights with out clips, so disappointing…

Lighting is very bright. Plastic clip is very weak. Had light on the truck frame using magnet, removed light and the plastic clip stayed on truck frame. Now I have to buy my cousin a new light because of inferior engineering. Reading all the reviews I'm shocked this has not been redesigned or how it ever passed quality control in the first place.

I have bought 4 of these! ALL 4 the clip and magnet has broke on them. I did not drop them or be rough with any of them. Need to make the clips metal or something stronger. For the price of these lights i shouldn’t be running into any problems. I will be looking into other flashlights until they fix this problem.

Would not recommend. CONS: Does not hold much of a long charge and then takes way too long to recharge so I bought a few. Cheap plastic material. After one repair it is started to crumble apart. MIDS: LEDS are bright and powerful but get VERY hot on bright. PROS: Out of the many magnetic flashlights I have. The warm color LED is easiest on the eyes and good for intricate work. Out of the three I bought, only one is left. The first was only dropped a few times and the second is on it’s way soon.

This is an expensive light with a cheap battery that doesn’t recharge . The battery keeps flashing red and green. Coast is a better brand I wasted a lot of money on this inferior product The quality is just not there .The magnet also broke down with inferior metals

It won't charge all it does is blink red and green

This is a great light! I have been using it for over a year with no problems. The magnets are strong and hold it well. The light is easy on the eyes for long periods.

I used this light almost daily for automotive work. The magnet isn’t strong enough and it fell off the vehicle and broke where the magnets are. So now it is basically a flashlight. Have lots of Milwaukee tools and love them. For the cost of this light…not worth it.

This is the best small light made. Very bright and holds a charge for a long time.

Battery won't last long enough for any project. Takes forever to charge. Not really impressed with this for the price. I expected much more

Only stays in for a few seconds and then shuts off. Tried changing batteries several times. From other reviews, looks to be a known problem. Disappointing

General Crawlspace work, stopped charging, I took out the battery, cleaned out the contacts, and still no joy..Im not sure what the manual means when it says take out battery and let it dry. Its out and its dry. Still not functioning...not sure I would recommend. Did not really last that long while functioning. Ser. J27AA182107983X

I use this for auto mechanic work. Worked for short time then will not take a charge. Light just flashes red for charging.

Magnets encased in the plastic clip. Clip cracks and breaks off when detaching magnet. Have had 3 clips break in less than a year. Battery cover difficult to remove. Have to pry it of with a screwdriver. Now LED has stopped working intermittently. Just a poor design unworthy of the Milwaukee brand.

The only way this light will stick to a frig is with some tape. I uploaded a hilarious video up to a review site that will let you post videos of this light in action sliding down a frig.

The magnets are awful. The magnet on the end sort of works but any small bump will knock the light right off. The magnet on the back pocket clip is not strong enough to attach the light to anything magnetic. Stick the light on the underside hood of a car and watch the light hit the ground the moment you let it go. Attach it to the side of a refrigerator and watch the light slide and hit the ground. It simply won't stick to anything. The whole idea of a rechargeable light with a magnet is so you can stick it to stuff. How this thing ever made it off the drawing board, through design and testing, and into production is beyond me. I am not the only person to complain about the magnet, lots of reviews are saying the same thing. The magnet is awful. I only wish I had seen these reviews BEFORE I bought it. Milwaukee wants to know if I would recommend this light to a friend. Aw, heck no. Not only would I NOT recommend this flashlight to a friend, but I wouldn't recommend it to my arch-rival. No one should get stuck with this light. Unless you like picking things up off the floor. Then this light is for you.

I have been through three different lights, and four different batteries over a two year period. The batteries won’t charge / I get the red/green blinking about 3 months into use. Magnet is half as strong as advertised and the battery life is half of what was expected.

I had the light for 2 months. Light output is decent. The magnet is weak, resulting in falling on concrete twice from height of 5 feet. Plastic housing chipped and cracked. Light now only work intermittenly.

Excellent light. Worth every penny. I’ve dropped it many times from tall ladders and it still works like it did when it was brand new and the tough plastic hasn’t even cracked. This is a tough light and I’m buying a second light for back up power. I wish the battery lasted a little longer between charges

I received this Flash light for my Birthday. In less than two weeks it no longer works.

My experience has been good regarding the brightness of the LED. However, the magnets are too weak to let it safely stick to any steel surface. The more it drops, the weaker the magnets get... That defect makes the light a pain in the butt to use.

I actually fixed the clip by putting a screw in it. That I could live with. Now only half of the LEDs light. I’m going to send it into Warranty. This process is a pain

I had recently purchased 3 of these lights as gifts and to my surprise one of my recipients sent me this photo! This is the battery cover melted. The light was just sitting on a bookshelf not plugged in. Makes me weary about the other two lights. I really liked these lights, but afraid of possible fire/burn hazards. Hopefully this was a one-time incident.

This is my second Milwaukee 445 Lumens LED Rover Rechargeable Pocket Flood Light. My last one was stolen as i was buying charcoal for my dinner at a local grocery store. So I had to repurchase this amazing light. I have used it for plumbing work. The magnet works great and holds very well upright and horizontal for hands free work to be done. Using this Milwaukee LED Rover Pocket Flood Light in attics and crawlspaces has been very worthy in such a small compact size. I also have used this flood light for hikes on trails and placed on my backpack. Attached the flood light on my track bike to pedal around locally. I feel like Iron Man having this upon my chest, as onlookers stop and stare as i go by them. I recommend this Milwaukee Rover LED Flood light

the magnet on this light is the biggest feature, pretty small but nice.

It’s a very nice flashlight and the magnet points are very functional but the magnet assembly broke within a month and the ON And OFF rubber comes off really easy. I have to reinsert the rubber back in place from time to time.

Fantastic bright light. Both settings good, really convenient that it’s rechargeable, however the magnetic clip, as well as clip design itself, is so bad that it couldn’t have been a mistake. $55 planned obsolescence.

I have 3 different Milwaukee rechargeable lights. (Headlamp, flood light, and this one). Overall love them for the fact that they are USB rechargeable and super bright. Unfortunately the magnetic clip on this light broke rendering it fairly useless. I would not buy this specific light again for this reason. If milwaukee would provide me with a CAD model for the clip I'd be happy to CNC machine some aluminum versions :)
