I have some stream lights and I have been thinking of doing the same. Kind of nice beam and the throw is small but bright as hell in that 20-35 meter range.
I love flashlights. There are so many awesome brands. So many cheap flashlights are really good, so many expensive flashlights are really good. It's like the worse addiction ever.
Unless you specifically are looking for a "penlight", check out the Maglite XL50. It takes (3) AAA batteries and is 200 lumens. You can also double click the button and get 50 lumens when you need less light. It is slightly fatter than a penlight and fits in the hand better. It is my favorite inspection light. It has 6 hour run time on high and is MADE IN USA. For headlamps check out Petzl. I've had a Pixa 3 for 6 years and I swear the batteries refuse to die. It is resistant to falls up to 2 meters and crushing up to 176 lbs. It is IP67 waterproof, chemically resistance to oils, greases, glue, hydrocarbons, white spirits, and bleach, and it rotates to a storage position that protects the lens.
Great video guys I been going flash light crazy too. I was looking at these the other day and my wife was saying the only reason I want the Milwaukee was because it’s Milwaukee.getting the Milwaukee!!!
I’ll go with Milwaukee. I forgot my Milwaukee inside my pants pocket, then thru them in the washer and dryer with no problem. Still working and my backup light is also a Milwaukee
Seems like it comes down to a matter of preference.... I mean as much as I love Milwaukee I’m just not seeing what constitutes a $12 difference in price... and oddly enough whatever reasons aside the Husky is actually a little bit brighter.... again I guess it comes down to whatever brand you feel more comfortable with....If you’re willing to spend the extra $12 because you like Milwaukee then so be it
I had that Milwaukee light. I lost it while shoveling in a parking lot. The NEXT day in a separate snow storm while in the truck plowing looking out my window the snow row from the plow was shining. I got out and found the Milwaukee still working. Unfortunately going under the plow it was bent in a way I can’t change the battery’s. So it’s dead now.
These flashlights are like utility knives, got a good one and it's indispensable but there are a 20 or so companies like Klein, Milwaukee, Dewalt trying to get your money for over complicate products. I see a small DeWalt LED flashlight at my local lumber yard last week and they were $50! Just buy an LED rubber body Energizer at Walmart and be done with it. Loose or break it and you're only out $10 or $15.
Neither. Clips on both are junk. Lost 3 Milwaukee's and the husky in 6 weeks from clips falling off and then it's gone somewhere on a big commercial job site. The harbor freight for 5$ works as well and has lasted 4 months now
@@chrisjones6165 well I was only kidding, trying to keep it light. But the definition is very fitting if you buy a light, use the clip, lose the light, buy another, use the clip, lose the light, buy another, use the clip, lose the light, buy yet another different brand similar design, use the clip, lose the light. Glad you got the HF light and that it works for you. You were teetering on the brink there. Again, just kidding. I have done worse with much more expensive tools. You have a great day too. My sense of humor is often mistaken for me just being a jerk. Those who know me know otherwise. Well most of them.........
@@mikemorgan5015 I hear ya there. Problem is the damn "removable" clip that fucks right the fuck off at the worst time u reach for your trusty light to be left rummaging through a pocket full of knives,pens and a tape all to be no much needed light 😂😂
When you really need out on flashlights they'll talk about beam cleanliness and color a lot. For the price the Milwaukee has an amazing beam, perfect dispersion and no halos, and the beam color is excellent! 👌
It's all about battery platform people.............. Kidding, of course. I have just about all of the Milwaukee lights. The tru view is really a bigger deal than most people think. The high blue of most LEDs is harsh. The Milwaukees are easy on the eyes(not so much on the wallet). My gripes about the penlight are that 1. it's on or off, no low or medium setting. Usually, you are working up close with a penlight and I'm usually holding it in my mouth. Sometimes the reflection from the work goes directly back into my eyes. A low setting would help. and 2. wish it was rubber coated on both ends or completely overmolded. I hate when I drop it and just know that I dinged the end again. Great light overall though.
Why do you bother to do reviews and comparisons when you are so clearly completely brand bias? I don't mean to sound like I'm attacking you it's just a legitimate question. Also maybe a durability test and a battery test should be included in something like this. @ToosInAction
Husky is alot of brighter, But lots of glare compared To milwaukee less Bright, But No glare staright image. For my opinion I'll go with the husky Due to the price point, Brighter light, And quantity you get. I don't need a clear image while using flashlight. I would suggest for mechanical maintenance Milwaukee definitely no doubt.
I EDC a Sunwayman M11R limited edition with a Cree XM-L2 LED as it runs a higher CRI value (color rendering index) than the standard version. It has a nice blend between spot and spill in the beam pattern. I really enjoy the interface as it just uses a rotating ring as opposed to a standard button. Otherwise I run Zebralights. The M11R and the Zebralights use the two best interfaces of the hundreds of flashlights I've looked through the specs of years ago. I have given away Husky lights as very cheap gifts. For myself I'll stick with Zebralights. I've yet to see better non-custom flashlights.
Milwaukee = Marketing Masters Question: If two people tried both lights and BOTH claimed the Husky was brighter, why would you keep going back to the claims on the package to try to convince them otherwise? What if the Milwaukee package said it was 200 lumens? Would you believe it?
Streamlight is the best honestly when I was a tech b4 I went back into construction I always used streamlight I lost a few in customers cars but streamlight holds up really well and super bright I might check out the Milwaukee since its fairly cheap but not bright
The only reason i bought the milwaukee is the rubber on the end to hold with your teeth. Everyone that uses a pen light puts it in there mouth when they need both hands free.
I use the husky as my every day carry. Perfect. No issues. Don’t even need to worry about damaging it.
I have some stream lights and I have been thinking of doing the same. Kind of nice beam and the throw is small but bright as hell in that 20-35 meter range.
The one you can hold on to without losing it the longest is the best! LoL
That's the harbor freight. No removable clip
You should compare these to a streamlight stylus pro, the streamlight stylus pro is my go to flashlight
I would go with the Husky.
I am a mechanic and use the Milwaukee and it os “ok” but once the batteries get to 50% it gets really dim. Tru view rocks but not for most stuff.
whoever thought of making the end of it where the on/off button is RUBBER is genius! that's what sold me on the milwaukee.
My EDC is the harbor freight usb rechargable pen light by Quantum game changer
Man let me tell you I have a obsession with flashlights from the way it the style, lumens, Durability, And quantity of flashlights.
Ha me too
I love flashlights. There are so many awesome brands. So many cheap flashlights are really good, so many expensive flashlights are really good. It's like the worse addiction ever.
Wow, with that scratch already on the milwaukee it just depreciated to $8.00, LOL...
The husky looked a little better in the video.
Edc key ring maglite solitaire makes the Milwaukee a niech find and the true view is a plus.

Husky looks better on camera to me.
The “natural light” just makes it look dimmer, but there’s less glare. Blue light hurts your eyes.
I got a two pack of the Milwaukee lights for $25.
Great video guys I been going flash light crazy too. I was looking at these the other day and my wife was saying the only reason I want the Milwaukee was because it’s Milwaukee.getting the Milwaukee!!!
I have some of the husky lights and they are great one of my favorite flashlights
Man that's a tuff choice. I'd probably go for the Milwaukee for the true light👍👍
Suddenly I want another flashlight.😄
I’ll go with Milwaukee. I forgot my Milwaukee inside my pants pocket, then thru them in the washer and dryer with no problem. Still working and my backup light is also a Milwaukee
The COAST G20 blows them all away with a REAL inspection beam.
I use it in aviation maintenance ever day.

Surefire is made in the USA
Currantly My EDC is is a Tractor supply Co 3AAA model 2 for 10.00
I love Milwaukee but I rather pick up husky . It depends on what you value, brand or function 🤷♂️
I had that Milwaukee light. I lost it while shoveling in a parking lot. The NEXT day in a separate snow storm while in the truck plowing looking out my window the snow row from the plow was shining.

Had the Milwaukee and loved the light that came out of it but it quit working after a month and a half.
Honestly the coast light is better very bright and durable
I don't like the yellow light of the Milwaukee, I feel the white light helps you see better. even though the Milwaukee might put out more lumens.
These flashlights are like utility knives, got a good one and it's indispensable but there are a 20 or so companies like Klein, Milwaukee, Dewalt trying to get your money for over complicate products.

chris jones I have HF pen lights all over the place and never have let me down. They feel good in my hands too.
Look up Einstein's "definition of insanity". I think a velcro sheath is what you need.
@@mikemorgan5015 harbor freight has held up just fine so I don't see it fitting the definition accordingly but have a nice day

I have way too many flashlights and now I have to go look at these. Eight dollars for the Husky it is hard to beat the price. #TIACREW

The Milwaukee is a nice light, but the clip on it is junk. I've broke 3 of those clips just putting it in and pulling it out if my pockets.
Robert Johnson I've done the same to one husky
Milwaukee = Marketing Masters
Question: If two people tried both lights and BOTH claimed the Husky was brighter, why would you keep going back to the claims on the package to try to convince them otherwise? What if the Milwaukee package said it was 200 lumens? Would you believe it?
Go with the Maglite XL50. It **IS** 200 lumens and vastly brighter with longer battery life (6 hrs).
When you pick up the best and try to compare which one is the best is like..hahaha
Streamlight is the best honestly when I was a tech b4 I went back into construction I always used streamlight I lost a few in customers cars but streamlight holds up really well and super bright I might check out the Milwaukee since its fairly cheap but not bright
I were glasses and contacts all the time so the daylight aka 5000k is easiest for me see with. So I guess it depends on your eyesight
I would keep the milwaukee and have a couple of the husky as a lend out so if it doesn't come back or broken its not a big loss.
defintly worth it i have the milwaukee light love it
Cannot stand that yellow tinge
ill take two of the Husky's compared to the one of the milwaukee.
The clip on the Milwaukee looks too bulky I like the light color on the husky
Coast
Nether, both are junk, I have been using the Fenix for the last 1 1/2. I have 3 of them and love them all!
Bill I oh you’re one of those people.
That have been through like 1 trillion flashlights, yes I am lol! The switches in those only last so long.
Bill I well aren’t you cool.
@@billi1643 are you a Ghostbusters?
I don't give a rats ass what you think of me, go buy away! experts at the keyboard I see!
Milwaukee has less glare. Presumably because of the ‘true view’
The Milwaukee looked a little on the yellow side.
My take away is if Dan says he won’t stick something in mouth just wait and he may change his mind.
Dont waste your money ... Get the mini mag light in l.e.d , their better and come with a belt holster
Like this kind of shit!💯👌👍
I’d take the husky
I have the Milwaukee its great.
I go threw about 3 huskys a year they are great an take a beating
The only reason i bought the milwaukee is the rubber on the end to hold with your teeth. Everyone that uses a pen light puts it in there mouth when they need both hands free.
Thank You for yet another unprofessional review...LMFAO
Does that guy in the green shirt remind anyone else of Joe Peshi?
no lol
Watched this again and I still laugh listening to Peshi's double hahaha
junk throw it out Milwaukee, Husky, Rigid, Coast don't matter if not USB rechargeable , not worth the space in my US General 44" green tool chest
Not much of a review
