Milwaukee Cordless Unboxing: M18 Lights
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2020
- Have you ever dreamt of buying every single tool to figure out which ones you'll like using the most? Me too! So that's exactly what I did. It's time to start unboxing and going through the massive pile of Milwaukee tools. I'm going to break this up into sections and try to compare like to like as much as possible. Milwaukee makes many different kinds, so we're going to unbox and go through all of them.

The M18 rover is nice because it has the clamping and magnetic base, but the light is also able to be pulled out and swiveled. That would probably work better than any others for under the car, because you could use the magnetic base to stick it to the lift and then aim the light exactly where you need it. If you had 2-3 of those under there, you could virtually eliminate any shadows or hard to see areas, and they aren't crazy expensive. Something to definitely consider.
The $49 work light that you think is junk is actually a pretty good light. It’s just a basic light for service work.
I don't want basic products. There are enough amazing products out there, so I find there is no need to sacrifice.
Obsessed Garage got to keep in mind not everyone will be using these items in perfect situations and clean environments. lots of companies especially in the trades offer tool replacement for their employees if something breaks as well. Most owners would laugh if someone tried to get a handheld work light replaced that cost over $100. I have nice stuff as well. But for service work depending on the situation. Sometimes basic is all you want. Why wreck something expensive over a cheap easily replaced version. It is just a light of all things. Who cares if it’s plastic. Every Milwaukee tool is plastic. The only way these tools stay looking nice is if you don’t really use them.
I have 5 types of the reviewed lights. I use this one the most. It's a direct replacement for a mechanics inspection light.
My buddy is a hvac service tech and he uses the m12 version at almost every residential call he goes to.
@@pracy1 exactly. obsessed garage is trying to find a Ferrari of lights. Some people want to actually work and get the job done.
This is perfect example of someone giving an opinion on products that are not geared toward his line of work or field. Needless to say all the contractors and family members that I have introduced my Milwaukee lights too not only loved them, but went and bought there own.
I have the M18 search light. Absolutely love it.
The VCG contractors would love this content. I know I am!
Jarvis Wagner imagine a VCG X OG Video 😂
Yes they would
Raj Sohan The discussion would be amazing. Vince getting all hype and Matt all mellow. I would love to hear the conversation.
Vince is awesome
😂
Dude- you didn’t mention how the Rover light panel is adjustable...that light is super versatile...
gotta say the m18 search light is my #1 most used tool in my arsenal. Just give it a chance, trust me it's so versatile! This video though has been great, really able to see all the differences in the products. Great content!
If it takes $1000 phone to make this guy happy in life I understand why he doesn’t seem so impressed with half these tools. He’s reviewing every tool like he has a personal single use case scenario for each one which I think would be impossible for any one person.
Well he has viewers and I see why Milwaukee is either desperate or just has enough money to and all this stuff out. This guy really doesn't do any real work, and doesn't seem to get it. I'm disappointed almost everytime I come here but I keep clicking on them due to the good photos. Maybe it should be called OCD garage.
Some of the smaller lights with cell charger could be handy during hurricane season.
The Rocket lights and Radius are great when working in a house or room that doesn't have power or light fixtures yet, and you have to hang drywall or paint. The short 360 deg lights are ok in those situations as well, but are great in attics or crawl spaces.
I know the fire department here uses the large hand held spot/flood with the pivoting head, I believe it is the Search Light.
Love this guys real opinion.
‼️‼️ Weekend Binge ‼️‼️
No 5

I could be wrong on the first light but is that not the one that was at NPS last year which you could control with your phone with one key.
With the onekey on the lights can you turn on and off the light wirelessly??? Or is it only good for adjusting the light modes and what not?
I haven't played with it yet, but I think it does both.
I know this is old. If you guys want an honest opinion, I have tested a good half of their lighting system and I only came across a few which I liked. My issue with Milwaukee is attention to detail and nowadays you can get ip rated work lights without breaking the bank from other brands. If your battery is not protected, I wouldn't even give it an ip rating to begin with. In a sense, most of Milwaukee lights don't quite work for me at this point in time.
Im not sure if you mentioned it, but are they all around 4500k ?
Still haven’t done the packout yet
God, I wish I could work with you on this stuff for tools. I work for Snap-on for few months and I've been a Side tech for awhile all I do is find a better solution for tools. I'm at the point where has a kind of a side dream job is to do my own tool truck because this side of NorCal doesn't know about A LOT of good tools. I have a obsessed amount of time researched and then buying tools to use for a job.
Matt if you want to see some of the most used hand tools that techs go for, grab a set of these:
Mountain (MTNRM6) 5-Piece Metric Double Box Universal Spline Reversible Ratcheting Wrench Set; 8 mm - 19mm
The original comes from is EZ-Red, but they also licensed out Matco, Monster and I think one or 2 others. They're OE from Mountain I believe. Some of the most sold hand tool for techs. I've Abused mine and they're still working. I've only have seen 3 of ever warranty. Then paired with of Extra Long Box End Wrench Set help you get into tight spots or need a leverages to break-off bolts. The Box ends are also great with impact wrench.
Idk why I just typed all that up in light video. Sorry!
Think I’ll stick with scangrip, bit more versatile as can be used for detailing and working on the car
i'm with you, just dont see anything in M18 that floats my boat, unless they made a light that you could stick on the ground and flood the side of the car so you can detail with it AND have it where you can change the color temp from say 2700 to like 6000K. when i was building my obsessed house, there were times a handheld color temp varying light would come in handy, like when you're picking out floor tile, wood flooring, countertops, etc. you can dial the light to your house color instead of the store light color. i'm still digging the M12 flashlight but that thing has been out for 3 or more years now, wonder if they have another light on the way.
The first light is like a transformer, but useful on a building site i guess, but you better get insurance on it :D, but yes the light you like is the one I like best as well and is the most useful I guess. Now we know indeed, for garage purposes better the m12 lineup and maybe the one m18 if you go for that model.
I was waiting for this video! Thanks Matt !! After watching your videos, I decided to buy some more power tools.
Unfortunately not from you because I live in the EU...
US and EU are two different worlds...
You have easier access to a larger lineup of milwaukee tools. Dont believe me check the USA milwaukee website and then EU milwaukee website they are way different.
Didn't mention that the large $500 M18 radius light is also a charger as well! That's important!
If you still have your bag for your light I would like to get it from ya. I’m looking for 5 of em for my Rocket lights.
Opening boxes with a Sebenza, now that's legit.
I was wondering if thats what that was"
I think you would find value in the M4 personal rechargeable lights they offer. Also little heads up on the m18 9.0 batteries the one that has the gray sticker like in the video is the old 18,650 cells versus the newer 21,700 cells with black sticker. Also not sure if you got the newer 3.0 cp m18 batteries they offer same run time as the old 5.0xc battery. And last but not least the HO 6.0 and 8.0 are both exact same size and dimensions. Much better value in the 8.0. Just thought I would save you some time.
All 9.0s have 18650. Milwaukee changed the label to black about 2 years ago to differentiate that from the HO batteries that use 21700 cells, those are gray labels now.
Suggestion: it might not be a bad idea todo some research with some of the tool truck dealer who see these everyday and to find out which tools have high warranty clams and for what reasons.
** A big FYI Some of these lights can't probably accept a 9.0 and 12.0 battery, Milwaukee had let you send it in for modifications to allow those batteries to be used!!****
I have the Duel-Power Flood Light 33:35 Awesome light, it flashes 3 times every roughly 3 minutes when its low battery which is handy. I work in basements and early winter mornings when its pitch black out with one of these lights the whole basement is lit! If its a short distance I will run a cord though, cause on high it only lasts 3-3.5 hours.
Milwaukee... LETS ROCK!
That first light did not look impressive at all. So the lights with plugs that will charge the battery also ?
I have a feeling he's supposed to have the high demand batteries for full brightness. But it seemed flimsy.
Vacuums!!
Love your content brother!! Keep it up 👍🏽
Can you cover the ins and outs of one key
Yes, I will at some point soon.
20 min. Damn good light.
This is amazing keep up the good work
I know a guy that would use that bag as a golf bag 😂
OMG 😂 Matt became a Sand People Star Wars droid merchant.
the 2. light cant the head point straight up and then turn the 3 lights down at an angel and get 360 degrees of light?
Matt you are missing two m18 batteries in the lineup! Milwaukee has a CP 3.0 High Output (HO) battery, with the same cells as the 6.0 HO, 8.0 HO and 12.0 HO. The 9.0 High Demand (HD) battery is older and uses inferior cell technology compared to the HO series. Also, there is a regular m18 XC battery that is a 6.0 amp hour. It is the same size as the XC 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 It is never sold in any kits and is rarely seen in stores or being used by anyone, but it exists and I think you would find a need for it in your cabinet! the m18 6.0 HO and 8.0 HO are the same size battery, yet the 8.0 has longer run time/ larger amp hour rating. So the ideal lineup of Milwaukee batteries both m12 and m18 would be: m12 cp 3.0, m12 xc 6.0, m18 cp 2.0, m18 xc 6.0, m18 cp 3.0 HO, m18 xc 8.0 HO, and m18 xc 12.0 HO. Ditch the following batteries: m12 cp 1.5, m12 cp 2.0, m12 xc 3.0, m12 xc 4.0, m18 cp 1.5, m18 xc 3.0, m18 xc 4.0, m18 xc 5.0, m18 xc 9.0 HD and m18 xc 6.0 HO. hope this makes sense!
Not true at all. The 6.0 ho and 8.0 ho are both useful. The 6.0 ho isn’t junk just because it has 2 amp hours less. The 6.0 is also way cheaper then a 8.0. Cheaper to buy XC 5.0 then XC 6.0 so the price increase to get the 6.0 makes no sense for the minimal increase in run time. The 9.0 HD is a great battery just for run time alone even and still good for lots of tools. The 12.0 HD/HO is good as well but way to big for lots of tools. So if you want to talk m18 batteries a guy should have 5.0 XC, 9.0 HD, 6.0 HO, 8.0 HO and 12.0 HD/HO. You can’t go wrong with any of the new high output batteries but the older batteries still serve a purpose.
Also you got to remember to use a battery properly you have to fully discharge it and fully charge it. Longer charge times means you have to wait longer to use the battery. You really shouldn’t charge halfway then use it etc. So yes longer run time is nice but shorter charge time such as with a 5.0 vs 9.0 or a 6.0 vs 12.0 means quicker turn around when swapping batteries because you can drain a battery faster then it can ever charge. It’s not all about crazy long run times.
Mystery Comment Very true, just that knowing Matt he would have plenty of them charged and ready to go. The difference to a normal person isnt worth it, but could be for “obsessed” people
@@mysterycomment1553 YMMV but I don't think that is true of modern lithium ion cells. Old NiCd, yes. Any of the batteries you mentioned, no. You do not have to fully discharge and recharge for best performance. In fact from what I've read they do best when they hover around half full, and that is how they should be stored if not in use for an extended period.
Awesome videos... excited to see more M18. What did I keep hearing in the background? Compressor? Generator? Any way to cut out that sound for future videos? Thank you!
It's the pump. We were bottling soap.
Did somebody let you know that the compact M18 flood lights can be flipped upside down and held from a ceiling? Thanks for doing these reviews, it is great information before I go and spend some money! Awesome Job!
Really surprised by your lack of interest in a number of the products. Many people have different needs than you do for your business. Sometimes the cheaper light fits a purpose for a certain segment of people. Explaining the functionality of the different lights would be much more useful information. You don't need to shill for the product line but please realize there are lots of people looking for different needs.
There are plenty of people out there that will pander to the masses. That isn't my goal here. There is a small subset of people that want to know what I want in my cabinet knowing that they want something similar. I'm fortunate in that that same group of people tend to be buyers and also honor the source.
I love the tripod design
I’ll buy the bucket light off you if you don’t need it. I could use it
It's an awesome camping light just don't look at it 🤣
You should do a video with them at night to show how bright they are for detailing in the dark
Try Goose-Grip™ mechanics worklight. Attaches to any flat spot on the car. It loves glass. ruclips.net/video/PO4fEhqoXoE/видео.html
It starts with a thousand dollar light I'm out
It was worth watching just to see the bucket light
cool vids, but no one on earth has 48mins to look at unboxing. Maybe edit to 7mins (in the spirit of Mark Twain).
The most important part is missing.be nice if you guys would shut the lights off so we can actually see how they compare. Could of had a fairly popular video if you included that crucial step
He explicitly stated that this is the initial unboxing not the deep dive. You clearly aren’t listening.
This helped me out and I agree with you. Hes saying dont cheap out if you're buying milwaukee why buy the shitty one that will break?
I see a Chris Reeve Inkosi
Sabenza!
@@ObsessedGarage oh I could've sworn I saw the finger grooves. Sebenza is my favorite, I own several 21s but I have to get my hands on the 31
Only Milwaukee no yellow????? Subscribed
I guess I'm a baby cause I didnt spend $1000 on a cell phone. Many of those lights are made for industry. They arent meant for a guy polishing his mufflers.
Damn more respect opening boxes with a Chris Reeve blade.
Chris Reeve* lol
While being versatile and having superior color temperature Milwaukee lights all seem to have one problem or another. Faulty switches, parts that break or fall off easily, weak magnets that won't hold and exaggerated run time seen to plague this line of lights.
I have almost every light Milwaukee makes from the tower lights to the radius lights to many more I use them almost everyday cause I work nights every problem you mentioned I've never had a problem with any of mine breaking or parts falling off I don't know what you're doing with your lights but I would say take more care of them. Mine are tanks!
Matt to Ryan a few weeks ago: “Moreman’s don’t camp”. 😂
Great review
Whats up with the whole baby and phone deal? Chill out man.
exactly, like jeez calm down.Making me feel poor
Not impressed with the lights. Too bulky and weird designs. Seems like you don’t get much for the price. I feel like could buy a light that would serve the same purpose for 1/4 of the prices.
You can but not cordless. I’ve always had those bulky 500 watt lights and never really used em. Dragging kit extension cords was a pain and bringing the lights was a pain. I bought 2 of the 2000 lumen rocket lights that the 2500 lumen lights replaced and I love em. I then bought 3 of the 3000 lumen lights and the m12 rocket light. I also have the m18 and m12 rovers the m18 and 12 lanterns and the m18 spot flood light. I love and use all of them all the time. They are pricy buy you really pay for what ya get. They are handy and high quality. Eventually I’m going to get them all.
Doug Decuir I agree, it really depends on how much they would be used. Cordless would be easier in a lot of cases. For me it’s not an every day use, so getting a light with a chord or buying a cheaper battery powered light would be more than sufficient for me.
@@dpd16790not to mention they can be plugged in and ran off a battery anytime and some even chager batteries not many other lights can do that.
first!
The lights are too yelllow for my taste.
It would be helpful to know how much candela these lights are putting out. Candela is the more important number I believe.
Why not give the bags away instead of thro them away
I stopped giving stuff away a long time ago. Anyone that would want free stuff like this is also extremely unreliable and will have a hard time showing up to pick them up.
Let's review all these nice lights in a fluorescent room 🤡
Dude ive been working construction in dark rooms with no interior lights installing windows. These lights are always brighter that what the foreman or anyone else is carrying. Ur review is based on appearance. 👎👎👎👎
No, I have great lights to compare. These are not good.
