Milwaukee USB Rover Pivoting LED Floodlight Review 

Thanks! I don't think they've officially been released quite yet - Milwaukee just had "November 2018" specified as the launch date.

The combo with the Milwaukee head light is perfect becouse they use the same battery....plus... the head light light quality is almost addictive. I can`t work in the dark months without. And as a bonus.. You can use one of them as charger if you don`t need both at the same time.

Good point about needing a flat surface.

I covered the magnets with painters tape. So far it helps but depending on the amount of use you’ll probably need to replace the tape once in a while.

I just put a small thin rag in between. Works perfectly.

Now THAT is some good luck! Too bad for whoever left it up there.

Can you give a link for the original one? I am looking for one which can last longer. Thank you

No, you have to cycle through all modes every time unfortunately.

I mention it takes 2 hours at 7:11 in the video. Uses the micro USB port I show at the start of the video, and you can't use the light while it's charging.

The -21 means it comes with one battery. The bare tool itself is -20. Milwaukee power tools all have an XXXX-2X designation, where the first four digits are the tool designator, the -2 is in everything for some reason, and the last digit is the number of batteries that come with it. Sometimes you'll see a "CP" or a "HD" at the end of everything, and that specifies if compact or high demand batteries are included.

It's got a few cosmetic scratches, but still works great. Still one of my favorite lights!

It’s small but this light kicks ass.

Thanks! Currently I don't have plans to review the M12 cutoff tool, but that could change if I end up needing one for a project. :)

@@DoresoomReviews Sorry to hear that since you are the stopper for my tool purchases.

Doresoom Tool Reviews oh you will need it, everyone does... I would like to see your review.... I like the detail

It is a little expensive. I'm pretty sure the braided USB cable came with mine though.

A separate on/off and mode button would have been nice. At least it doesn't have a strobe setting you have to cycle through! 😂

This comment is pure comedy.

I hear you about the batteries - I think $10-15 would be a much more reasonable price point than the $20 Milwaukee went with for the spares. If you wanted to buy an extra battery and charger it's $40, which at that point you may as well just buy another light at $60 instead. I can see them wanting to control the batteries that go into the lights and tools from a warranty perspective though. Another reason for a proprietary battery may be that they've built undervoltage protection into the batteries rather than the lights, but I'm not sure.

That's a nice included upgrade! Glad Milwaukee decided to package it with the USB tools rather than making users buy the 3.0Ah battery separately as an upgrade.

I wasn't counting LEDs, I was using the lumen specification for each light. This one with 550 lumens is 23.5% brighter than the original USB rover which had 445 lumens. I also said "about 20%" in the video, since (550-445)/445 is a little hard to do accurately as mental math on the fly.

Man stick it inside my van on the roof. Dam I might buy another just for that purpose. I can see and fill out invoices, it like day light. Love it. By the way push done on the silver plastic and now your have a hook or slide it on to a rope or wire.

They've effectively cut the price since this debuted by offering an extra free battery sale (and sometimes a separate charger too) pretty regularly. If you're in the market for one, be sure to find one with that deal!
