Customer Reviews for Milwaukee M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 100 Lumens LED Flashlight (Tool-Only)

Great powerful set. Only thing that’s disappointing is the light. Feels very cheap and not very bright. I would just opt to not have it included as after trying it I do not think I will actually use it.

I have used different brands, but I like Milwaukee the most; it feels like a professional, good tool.

I got this worklight as part of a kit. I always thought it was just one of those throwaway lights, something the manufacturer includes to market the kit as a 5-tool instead of a 4-tool kit. With that said, after using it on a recent trip to the cabin, and doing a couple of small jobs when the power went out, I will say that I have a newfound appreciation for this little light. It's powerful enough to keep as a backup light, and will probably run forever off of a 5.0 battery. The light comes from an LED chip, so it'll last much longer than my old Ryobi light which uses an incandescent bulb. Very happy with it, though if I could add one feature, it would be an ability to adjust the light's brightness.

Great products, always dependable and long lasting batteries

Bought this light several years ago it was in a Milwaukee tool bundle. It was an amazing light not only for the garage but for our lake lot. Stands on its own . Has great brightness. And love the adjustable head. We have several batteries and they are charged fully. We have never in the several years we have owned it EVER had an issue . Until today. We are at the lake it is dark. We turned the light on to go out to cook steaks ...and then all of a sudden the light went dim and then out....bam didn't work. The battery shows full and we cleaned the terminals and nothing. Dead as a door nail... And burnt steaks to boot.

So disappointed. I expect better from Milwaukee. Worst work light I've ever owned. So dim.

It's rugged, and can take abuse. The hook is nice. I like the swivel fixture to aim light. Mine stopped working. I removed lens and LED works with direct voltage applied, but not through base terminals. Switch logic suddenly failed. Theres a circuit board inside.

This light was very handy for all things dark around the house and garage. It could be positioned in many different configurations to illuminate the trouble spot and produced a bright white light. It was compact, easy to store and handy to grab and go. And then it just quit working!

Excellent light for its purpose! While it is not the brightest light on the market, but is perfect for working under sinks and in close quarters where too much light would be blinding. It is also IP 56 water and dust resistance and gives me piece of mind that a few splashes wouldn't hurt it. Overall recommend!!

This is a very nice light for small areas or for plumbing needs. While not as bright as my Ridgid torch, it is ip 54 water and dust resistance, allowing to be used around wet areas without affecting the light in the long run. Overall recommend.

Great product. Super bright, great for doing repairs and handyman jobs around the house. Battery pack from existing tools have lots of juice to power this. (M18 batteries)

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Big orange sent us the 100 lumen older version light. Don't buy unless you can see it in person to verify it's the new model or it's substantially marked down. The new version of the M18 is a great add on if you already have an M18 charger and batteries. Power outages happen around here and we can keep this running for days with the M18 batteries and promised 24 hour plus run time with a 5.0 AH M18 battery. The new version puts out nice clean light, you can set it on a flattish surface or hang it, and you can adjust the direction of the light. It's a basic on or of no zoom, no hi and low setting, just a simple light that works. Nothing special about just a light that works with the M18 system. There are much better options like mag lights or head lamps that take replaceable batteries if you don't already have a charger and battery.

Works great!

It's a decent light, by far not the best light that milwaukee makes. It is the lowest end light they sell and it's a non-adjustable wide beam. I prefer directional beams but It still has its uses.

I added this light to my M18 FUEL drill /driver set works real well, great flood light. it also has a hook for hanging. I have passed the word here at work on this great LED must have lights.

Great light,I use it all the time in my garage or working on the car in the basement, It is plenty bright for what ever I need it for,it is very bright and is very easy to move around.

This is an extremely versatile work light! It combines excellent lighting performance with amazing battery life due to the M18 XC extended battery pack. I love that the light output swivels from a 90 to 180 degree angle which allows for the light to be set down and aimed wherever you need it. It also has a built in utility hook that flips out of the handle when needed. The XC 4Ah extended capacity battery pack works with many other Milwaukee tools and features a pretty convenient little charge indicator right on the battery that can be triggered with the press of a button.

OVERALL: Simple and powerful light, great battery. Bright enough to use as a spotlight, strong enough for detail work in dark areas. Battery interchangeable with all M18 tools. LIGHT: Did a night test, lit up the night to 30 feet at a very bright level, 100 feet lit dimly. Extremely bright up close. A little heavy carrying it around (compared to compact lights) but ok. ROTATION: The head flexes over 135 degrees. That pretty much covers any angle you could want while hanging or sitting on the ground. FEATURES: A hanger on the back of the light is about it. No adjustments on light focus or power level, but less moving parts means more less to break or get dirt stuck in. BATTERY: These extra light batteries can power my impact driver all day, work with any M18 tool. Running the light for half an hour hardly dented the battery. The battery makes this a great deal, almost worth the price by itself.

Excellent light, i can hang it from pipes when working in joist spaces.

The switch is not as smooth as my last light.

Quality and variety of tools are the best. Packout is next!

I am a milwaukee guy through and through. I was disappointed with the light output of this light. My pen light is brighter.

Milwaukee has always been on top of the tools for all trades. This Fuel kit is a great addition

I just bought one. I am disappointed with the 100 lums. I just assumed that it would bright. I like Milwaukee's quality on all their tools but this flashlight, it feels cheap and not much light. Can you make a better quality flashlight please? I will pay for quality.

Great tools, always reliable, great warranty as well
