  • Here I review two of Harbor Freights newest LED lights. One is a magnetic work light and the other a small tactical light. Bright and long lasting, these are worth a look.

    I have both of these. They are absolutely superior lights. Someone at work got me for my smaller one so I immediately picked up another one without hesitation.
    Love that you can use the 360 turn light while plugged in. Don’t really use it like that but still a nice touch. I’ve got a Walmart light that you can’t use while plugged in. (Might be a safety feature I’m sure)

    Hey Steve, really enjoy your videos. I’ve recently purchased the flashlight, and the headlamp, pleasantly pleased with both. After this review, I’ll be purchasing the rechargeable light for a little extra light in the back of my work van. Thanks!

      @XplorerSteveDIY  6 лет назад +1

      I'm not sure 20% coupon will work on that because of the brand-name. Check the fine print. In any case I posted a link in the description to a coupon that will get you them for 10 and $20 respectively.

      @Solo-oo4qq 6 лет назад

      It could be that not all stores got the new work light. I went to one store just before Christmas and they said they never got it. The second store I went to had it, but someone had to go in the back and open up a new box as the ones out on the shelf had all been scooped up. It can be helpful to have the item number so they can look it up more easily. I did not check for the flashlight.

    • @DENicholsAutoBravado

    I like the first light the COB LED swivel light. Might have to look for that one. I like how it charges by USB. That should be standard on all flashlights these days.
    I've had good luck with those thunderbolt Alkaline batteries, they are just as good as the Rayovac batteries I buy at walmart. I wish HF sold larger packs. I can get a 36 pack of AAAs for 17 dollars.

  • @jrudmanjr
    @jrudmanjr 6 лет назад +12

    Steve, I owe you an apology . I've dissed a few of your hf vids in the comments, because I haven't shopped there much. That co. has come a long way. I'm picking up the four drawer cart for $99.00 this week, also bought that same light! It's great for a Jackson.

    • @XplorerSteveDIY
      @XplorerSteveDIY  6 лет назад +2

      Their stuff has come up. I tell people if they don't like the quality, give it a week. They are really trying. No apology needed. I hear not everywhere has stores like the 5 in Vegas. They are growing everyday.

    I just purchased their Quantum 1500 lumen zoom flashlight - great light! Machined aluminum, rear switch, just high & low setting which is perfect as the strobe hurts my eyes. Another great thing is that it does not have a hot spot so I am going to try using it for photography projects.

    Thanks for the excellent diy's.

    • @XplorerSteveDIY
      @XplorerSteveDIY  6 лет назад +1

      I like it because I can use it without a gimbal and still get very good stabilization. Low like quality is much better than the others and the picture is fantastic.

  • @cbmech2563
    @cbmech2563 6 лет назад +1

    I bought those and the 310 lumen headlight with the same focus setup (fantastic) twice the light of my last one. Also bought the rechargable light stick but haven't had a chance to use it. It seems like it will work well. If not I'll bring it home to work on the car

    • @XplorerSteveDIY
      @XplorerSteveDIY  6 лет назад

      I've use the light stick countless times for many things. I highly recommend it.

      The main issue for me at work will be hanging it over the engine of a class 8 semi or class 7 cab over trash truck. You don't have a nice steel hood to stick it to.

      It does. Standard battery you can get from any battery store.

    The magnetic work lamp only works a few hours unlike what it says on the package, but you can charge and use it at the same time.

    • @DENicholsAutoBravado

      I've used it regularly for 2 months with no other issues.

    The fact you had to machine the tactical light to make it perfect ...😁😀😂🤣🤣🤣🤣!

  • @jfair98
    @jfair98 5 лет назад

    I wanted to add in here that the Braun uses a recharagable 18650 li-ion cell. The one that comes with it is a protected button top cell and is longer than most standard cells because of the protection built in as well as the button top. Having said that a standard flat top 18650 will work I've tried it but I wouldn't suggest charging by the cord if you use one without protection. This may be how they cut down on cost by just using the protection built into those batteries and not adding more to the light itself. Personally I would use an external charger for any but especially if you use a standard non protected cell.

    • @jfair98
      @jfair98 5 лет назад

      I'm also pretty sure that tactical light is the same as I have and also canbuse an 18650 in it

    For mechanical work.. If it is above hood, good design.. If it is below hood, better off with a compact little flood light shaped in a circle / magnetic/ cordless /. You can work on your brake rotors inside the wheel well, and etc. I would much rather have the compact . U can work above and below the car.

    The problem with ALL Chinese flashlights is the poor quality switches and battery contacts. I have used dozens of flashlights American and Chinese and i can tell you the American made like SureFire etc will actually work when you really need it, the Chinese flashlights will not function at some point and for me it was always when i needed it the most. I am happy to pay the 100.00 to 150.00 for a flashlight i can always depend on when i really need it. And 10 years later the American light still works.

    "Quality Duracell coppertops." There's a contradiction in terms. I've had many devices destroyed by Duracell batteries exploding in them, from expensive Mag Lites to portable CD players. I prefer the Harbor Freight alkalines. They last just as long as name-brand batteries.

  • @paulcondie9932
    @paulcondie9932 6 лет назад +4
