@ThePeachyCarpenter 2 года назад

Recent conversation with another trades person, and Milwaukee really seems to take trades people into consideration. When I started out, Milwaukee was only what plumbers and electricians used. Now I see more and more carpenters using their tools. The crew who taught me how to do all this all had Dewalt and is why I bought into it. But on a recent visit with them, they have all started buying Milwaukee. I guess battery powered pressure washer are more important.

@InsiderCarpentry 2 года назад

Agreed. I grew up watching my dad (plumber) use dewalt. So I naturally went the dewalt direction. Now he is entirely on Milwaukee and I'm moving that way more and more.

I bought 2 of the DeWalt Tripod lights on clearance for $115 a piece. I made the first purchase for $159, but when I went back to Home Depot the next day I noticed the last two marked down to $115 so they gave me a refund and I bought another. Great light for when you lose power in the house also.

I guess the main purpose of the Bluetooth for the dome light is if you hang it up high you are able to control the features from your phone instead of perhaps going up and down a ladder. I have one and it was explained to me the purpose of the Bluetooth.

@Californians_go_home 2 года назад

I can’t justify spending 229.00 on a Dewalt tripod light. Just buy some Bosch laser level tripod stands for 49.00 each and mount some HD leds to them. Those tripods fold up into almost nothing. Some of the prices for these tools now are complete BS. But people keep buying them and the companies never bring inflated prices down because of it. Get creative. Save some money.

@sloanNYC 2 года назад

I honestly just buy Ryboi lights, they have a lot of the Milwaukee features for a fraction of the price. But for versatile lighting I'll often just use a battery to AC adapter and then just string up LED light bulbs. Low watts and lots of light for cheap.

@nigelboucher2014 2 года назад

I’ve been using Makita tools for the past 40 years and while I love them to bits if I was starting out again it would definitely be Milwaukee. In the last couple of years I have started buying there hand tools and it’s becoming a bit of a obsession especially since I got the packout trolley.

@joshytraylor Год назад

A lot of parts inside milwaukee is makita apparently that's why they are so good! I will say their design and also batteries are awsome though.

@scsc9311 2 года назад

There are 4 more Dewalt lights. There is a magnetic one (DCL044) which can attach to something like an electrical service panel. There is a hybrid worklight (DCL061) that gives you an extra outlet. There is also an automotive hood light (DCL045) that folds in half. Then there is the giant area jobsite light (DCL070) with tool connect and built-in charger.

@trevorsaunders206 2 года назад

I call my dome light “mr magoo”. I set it on a Ridgid tripod at a height I won’t look directly into it 😎 I do trim/cabinets etc as well. Milwaukee does a great job at being thoughtful and practical while designing their tools and storage… Good vid!

@michaelmosley5412 2 года назад

Harbor Freight sells a light made by Braun which is a 7200 lumen hanging work light with a 360 degree output. It sells for about $90 now. Got mine about a year ago for about $70. They've definitely gone up in price but it is a fantastic light that will easily light up a whole room.

@SuperPhoReal 2 года назад

I should pay attention to the manual sometimes, didn’t even realize my rover light has a clamp feature until you demonstrated LOL

The 500/250 lumen stick light is also my favorite. It’ll get through you almost anything.

@tinman1955 2 года назад

You're missing the DCL044. Excellent light when you need a very compact and bright spotlight with a super narrow beam.

@cpmaverick 2 года назад

You missed the best one, the new dcl045. Works for much more than just under hood, best light I've ever owned. You can hang it overhead and zero shadows underneath you.

@Slowhand871 2 года назад

Great review I agree the dual power is much better.I like my dewalt tripod but it doesn’t last long 30-45 min

@gekke.gein24 2 года назад

I am very happy with a tiny Aliexpress light which works with the DeWALT batteries. It was listed at 140 lumen and it seems actually meeting that spec. It is so small you dont need to worry about the size. It also works as a charger via the USB ports. The only downside is the on/off button. It got really dusty during grinding, now you van feel the dust in the button mechanism

@user-ie6jc5zh7f 8 месяцев назад

I've always been leery of using any non-Dewalt tool on a Dewalt battery. Dewalt batteries don't take well to over-draining. Dewalt brand tools are built with this in mind. I guess you could use cheap, non-OEM batteries with it though.

@atrainace114 2 года назад

dewalt does make an area light that is dual power. The DCL070 from 500 to 7000 with tool connect. It does have a larger footprint. It can be remote controlled with tool connect pretty awesome light.

@dougdiplacido2406 2 года назад

I mounted a Coast HL8R rechargeable headlamp onto a hard hat. It has three brightness settings(800-245 and 50) and adjustable beam spread. Wherever you are working the light is there for you. At 125 bucks it is a pricey light but well worth it. On medium it lasts 60 hours to the battery will last all day if you need to use it that long.

@sathivv950 2 года назад

Check out the armytek wizard pro line or the zebra light style of headlamps. Runs on the 18650 cell and is a huge leap forward in light output and compactness and design. Smooth ultra wide beam is perfect for work. I really like the warm tint.

@Tools-awesomeness 8 месяцев назад

It’s been like 4 months now and I’m running the entire house with Milwaukee, Dewalt, kobalt, ryobi & Ridgid lights. last time bill cam $512, I’m lucky I have some 10k variety of the best lights LOL, saw the difference then, bill came a little over $100

@onsiteelectricianscott4025 2 года назад

I put the ole dewalt transit tripod stand under my compact area light , the thread pattern works good enough to hold the light on the top .

@sparx2391 2 года назад

That small dewalt torch is surprising how far the beam goes outside. I'm an electrician in the uk, and I've got the small dewalt and the 500 lumens one, and the rest are all Bosch, as all my main tools are Bosch

@stevebengel1346 2 года назад

I still use the DeWalt DCL061, it can take a 18 volt, 20 volt or be plugged in, I'm too invested in the DeWalt battery platform to be changing it around now.

@oldtireman4665 2 года назад

Excellent, balanced review. I have the DEWALT 500/250 and the tripod light that saved my bacon while remodeling the kitchen and dining room of my 120 year old house. Let’s hear it for darkened, coal soot stained framing lumber! I was not aware of the many short comings of DEWALT vs. Milwaukee. However, I’m hip deep in 20 volt and Flexvolt yellow/black and at this point can’t see much benefit to mixing battery/charger platforms. Maybe if I take the dive into some battery powered trim guns but not right now. Any preferences in head lights? The bands always stretch out on mine.

@sathivv950 2 года назад

Armytek wizard pro in the warm tint. Hands down the best headlamp with also the best head band. Light clips in and out of the band easy so you can use it as a handheld and strong magnet in the base.

@ThisTall 2 года назад

I had that dewalt 1500 lumen spot light, and when I switched from Yellow to Red 20v tools, that light is the tool I missed most. I never liked the big area lights nearly as much, and they’re always a distraction when in view, being able to see the light source. I would just put that 1500 lumen on a cabinet or something higher then eye level, and point it at the white painted ceiling. A large living room or kitchen could be sufficiently lit up for a guy with poor eye sight, and with no shadows.

@casemods 2 года назад

@user-ie6jc5zh7f 8 месяцев назад

You left out the DCL044. It's a nice little light - cheap, compact, and has both a stand and a magnet.

@libertarian1637 2 года назад

DeWalt does make a dual power light; I had a couple of them a few years back but got rid of them as they simply didn’t hold up. I don’t thing they even make them anymore. DCL061 is a 1,500 lumen 18V, 20V Max, and 120V AC multi-power light. I owned two and got rid of both as they weren’t built DeWalt sturdy and just didn’t work well for me. I actually converted some standing dual 500 watt homogeneous lights into battery lights with 18 watt LED flood lights and DeWalt battery adapter or charger; they work great can be pointed in different directions and you can turn on 1, 2, + as you need more light. I purchased the lights off Amazon and they can run 10V-40V DC and work great, better than any lights I’ve ever bought; I also wires in a 3 way switch and charger allowing me dual use 120V and charging the battery in the light and with a single flip of the switch operating the lights off the battery.

@MelbourneAlan 2 года назад

i have one of each of those lights except the tiny one. i agree with everything you said. they are for diferent types of work. the dome light is great if its overhead but i use the tripod the most or the small 500 lumin one. i never saw the point in the bluetooth , you still need to get up there to change out the bateries so you may as well leave the ladder there.. duel power is a feature that is realy lacking . if i wasnt so invested in dewalt i would get the milwaukee ones for that feature alone.

@renaissanceman8581 2 года назад

The benefit of the blue tooth is when I’m done tiling the floor I don’t have to manually turn it off when I have it hanging from the ceiling. As opposed to having the battery run out so it turns off.

@robertbamford8266 2 года назад

That’s my favorite portable dewalt light, too. Great for working in a cabinet under a sink - or looking under cabinets for whatever I dropped. This video turned out to be a solid recommendation for Milwaukee lights. Have you any opinions/experience with adapters for dewalt to Milwaukee batteries? (Did I see a red battery on one of your yellow lights?)

@InsiderCarpentry 2 года назад

Supposedly there are issues with completely draining them with an adapter. I don't have a problem using an adapter on things like nailers but it could be an issue on lights. I haven't tried an adapter on lights personally.

@patriciawagstaff6302 2 года назад

@williamcattr267 2 года назад

6:52 A excellent point! I like the 500 lumen Dewalt light (have had it for more than a year), however, for bigger lighting needs, it is more useful to use the Milwaukee dual power feature.

@ianthompson9058 2 года назад

I think {pretty sure} you can get an adapter type thing where as you can plug it into the mains and the power end has a male battery type terminal, must be a bit like the adapters to use one battery on another manufacturers drill etc, not quite legal and above board but a very useful set of items non the less ,ps...... , quality work as always m8

@antman7431 2 года назад

Very mindboggling and disappointing that dewalt didn't integrate dual power into that 5k lumen dome light being that it's such a battery guzzler. I have the DCL061 work light. Has dual power and can daisy chain, and I got that back in 2018, has held up well. I think maybe the 2k lumen light in this video was it's replacement

@@InsiderCarpentry Nah man. You fold it and hang it on a cable where the cable is still sticking out before the electrical finish.
