Cordless Job Site Lighting - Toolsday
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- With winter headed our way, and the days getting shorter, I figured it was a good time to talk about job site lighting. More importantly, the new cordless LED technology that has come out in the recent years. If you follow me on social, or have been following me for a long time, you know that I've always use a ton of Milwaukee lighting solutions. That is because Milwaukee Tools absolutely kills the lighting game. Take a watch and let me know what you think!

Probably the best Ryan’s czcams.com/users/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans on building a shed is hardly ever found. And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
Milwaukee must love you. You will probably never have to buy another Milwaukee tool ever again.
Yeah big sponsor for him i think
Starting to lose credibility, like builds and toolsday but too much red
Yep, Milwaukee's lights are the best corded/cordless options. I picked up two of the compact radius lights and find them to be just right in intensity. I put a 12ah battery in both and they last all day on full 360 illumination. Someday I'll get the new rocket light that has three heads...
Great video, I really liked the ending where you show the different lights working.
Can’t stand all the comments about Milwaukee sending you these for free. If they do, good for you you’ve earned it. And f not, I’m sure the lights pay for themselves. I’m a DIYer and I have been buying up a ton of Milwaukee lights this current promo. They are amazing. Now that it’s getting darker early I can still do yard work or a project after 7pm. The new rocket light btw has the feature to plug it in and right now you can get it with a free 5.0 battery starter kit. Great light. Ok take care man thanks for the video
Jonathan M thanks bro I don’t even listen to them. I know how hard I work
Yesterday i saw a working Milwaukee M18 HSAL-502B joblight in the dark from the gascompany, 3000 lumen a few hours.
A compact design light and fast in action, in my opinion the joblight from the moment.
I love this Toolsday series man. Informative, entertaining and all around enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work man.
thank you a ton...I appreciate it
Another great Toolsday video! I want to see you shoot the bulletproof light! 😁
I found these Milwaukee’s to be lacking in light power. Their 1000+ lumen models weren’t very powerful. In a small concentrated space they were okay but the space was small. I think they are overrated by Milwaukee. I ended up buying 2x Rigid Industries Site Series floods but you can’t compare them to Milwaukee, the Rigids were $1200 ea. and far brighter, wider and farther lighting. Rigid light quality is always impressive. I run their lightbars and fogs on every one of my trucks and UTV’s. As always nice video Kyle!
zfilmmaker thanks man and I honestly can’t believe the light quality
Ahhh, Milwaukee. Nobody else even comes close. Its the only one I buy lately.
if you are in that platform its fantastic . that was a very helpful video
Great video... you shed some LIGHT on a interesting topic👍
I dig the rocket light extends 7 ft ..200 bucks isn't much thing will pay for itself quick..beats headlights lol
Im addicted to milwaukee lights lol. I have all those and just recently purchased the M12 Rocket 😀
Cant wait until its here.
Shinning some light in a dark places. Lol. Nice selection of lightning choices
Awesome my brother I like it good job and very nice video to later :)
I have been using a M18 rocket and two of the smaller ones since they were released. Yes, they are far more expensive than a corded light, but they are so much more portable and easy to set up that they get used whenever you should have more light, not just when you must have more light. This makes it safer to work. Think about how often you work in bad light because it is too much effort to drag out the lights, cords, and generator for only 30 more minutes of work.
The Dual rocket one should automatically shine where ever your phone is so if ya move from one side to the other side of the job site itll follow you
That would be somewhat of a technical challenge (audio / RF triangulation needs more nodes and competes with other signals in the environment, GPS would be blocked by buildings, machine vision would need line of sight) and is more of a single worker scenario. I can't see it being an economic or even particularly useful feature in the next 5-10 years.
great review that rocket light looks awesome
Great Reviews Thank you !
I love Milwaukee tools... shame I haven't got no lights from them yet. Thank you.
Nice video. I have the 3000 lumen rocket light / charger. The radius 360 4400 lumen. The 3000 Lumen floodlight. The M18 Lantern. And plan on getting the m12 underhood light. Lumen life!
Aaron Repper I love lights too! Lol
Good review, done are the days of the halogen work lights that burn out just by looking at them and tripping over cords strung out everywhere
Great review! I don't work in the dark anymore, but I'm going to pick up one of those headlamps. It must take you a while to put all of your tools on chargers at the end of the day.
If you have juice at the house/site, then it is typically normal practice to have a charger or two plugged in and batteries charging while you work. But I have a routine to clean out the truck at the end of the day, and if necessary, recharge the batteries that were used during the day. Not to mention that a few of these lights are capable of being plugged in and be a battery charger while they are lighting the job site.
Nice toolsday
I want them all!
Great video
They have an automotive one that I want to get. It is a long tube that holds onto either side of the hood to use it as an under hood light or elsewhere, but it is like $239 with charger and one battery. It works on their small M12 battery.
One of the best flash light and head lamps that i have used are cost flashlights
If you need another place to go camping, I have 10 acres in Minocqua Wisconsin. Right by a nice walleye and muskie lake.
Nice review.😎
I did not fucking know how I got to this channel but I will subscribe and like
Haha that’s awesome thanks brother
Thanks brother, helped a lot on witch light would be best for cement finnishing. Other wise it just kind of a guess!
Awesome vid! Really informative. Great quality. One suggestion would be to try and get some sound deadening or insulation material in the shop to help with that echo. Keep it up!
i have the rocket light and the m18 light with the swivel head. and they are awesome!
that's lit
gerald deus I see what you did there
If you edit this, put a pic of the actual light in the corner of the screen in the demo section. Trying to remember what number is what is challanging (especially for old farts like me). Love your series, btw
nice review
Great review, would love to get the rocket light.
I like the $10 tool dollar floodlights you can buy with they have a halogen bohlmann and that's ridiculous amounts of money
I’ll take 3 of each!! 😁
Very cool review. It was enlightening!! Plan to get either the m18 rocket or the new m12 rocket coming put soon.
Love your video's how about a toolsday review of the Milwaukee Cordless Miter Saw?
Jeff Juhasz which one?
the Milwaukee 2734-21HD
Lot of great info on these...
Broh loved it
NICE JOB
Can you “shed some light” on when we can be expecting the living the dream onesie line up? Lol
greetings from argentina nice chanel good videos.,.,congraatulations
Wonder if you can get the last two without One Key? Would probly drop the price a bit for people who have no desire for that feature.
Damn for 599 it should give a happy ending!
Wow - that is a wonderful quality video. What kind of camera was this shot with? Awesome job!
Canon 80D
Where the telescoping light of 27,000 lumens?
I am also avid collector of work lights from Milwaukee, DeWalt, and EGO.
It is nice to be able to work at night.
I was wondering if you had planned a lighting segment.
Rigid 3 panel light is another brand option
I definitely want to retrofit the rocket to 12 amp
Did the big red truck just off load outside your place?
lol I wish....I've some of these lights for over a year
i see youre a tool nerd like me (thumbsup ) :D
love tools man
Milwaukee Tools getting strong with their 'new generation tools'. ....13
I find the Milwaukee stuff tends to break more often than DeWalt or Ridgid. In the case of Ridgid, that is pretty strange since Milwaukee
and Ridgid are made by the same company.
Dang those lights are expensive.
Kevin yes...yes they are... but man they are sweet
@@RRBuildings They definitely are. One would have to spend a good amount of time working in the dark to justify buying those. Definitely easier than using a generator to power lights.
You pay for what you get, just saying
David Williams l
@@KevinMBean Well, when you gut a house and the lights and wires are gone, it is nice to be able to see what you are doing, even if the Sun is up. Not enough light will come into the house, especially the bathrooms and closets or hallways. And when you are putting insulation in the walls or attic, lights come in handy, as well as when hanging rock, taping/floating and of course painting. Let's not forget about the electricians trying to install the outlets, switches and fixtures, they need light to be able to see. I can go on and on about the different tradesmen that need light to be able to do their job properly, even in the daytime. Same goes for commercial buildings. So yeah, we do spend a lot of time working in the dark to justify spending money on quality lights.
Can we string a cord or ten across the house? Sure we can, but then your roll out time and roll up time is longer, and less time for actual production. And if there isn't any power, or only a few outlets in the garage, cords are actually a safety hazard. So, as a GC or SC, you are able to justify spending money on tools/equipment and are able to write it off on tools/assets category on your taxes.
3 times i saw guys pick up the 1 light put it on their shoulder and had their friend take a pic.
Personally I’d never purchase a handheld light or battery for a handheld light from Milwaukee. There are too many good LED lights on the market with great build quality to choose from. As for individual batteries, the battery the personal lights appear to use 18650 batteries. Couldn’t tell whether they were flat tops or button cells.
The Rocket lights fill a niche market that flashlight manufacturers don’t offer lights in. For this type of lighting, both Milwaukee and DeWalt have lights. Like battery operated tools, it comes down to if you have Milwaukee batteries you’ll probably purchase Milwaukee lights, and visa versa.
I personally never had any problems with Milwaukee lights or tools. You get what you pay for at the end.
My oldest Milwaukee tool is about 10 years old and its running like the day I purchased it (m18 Hammer drill).
Have you ever compared them with dewalt? I have the dewalt version of the rocket and love it, only because it uses all my batteries.
How can Milwaukee take over the lighting market with prices like that?? That’s a bold statement sir.
Because you get what you pay for. Not to mention that many other large work lights like these are also in the similar price range. Or you can always buy the safety lights and go through the hassle of trying to string them up, hope there is electricity in the house/site, or if you are on a remote location, take a generator or really long cord etc.
Jeremiah Mckenna Thank you. I might consider buying Milwaukee.
@@JayZoop i can justify spending more money on a cordless light because it will save a lot of roll out and roll up time, which gives me more time actually working and producing. If I can simply walk in, set it down and flip a switch vs., walk in, look for an outlet, find another one that actually works, string out another ext. cord, plug in the light/s, then get to work, it makes more sense. Plus I can now move the light to another room a lot easier, and don't have to worry about tripping over cords or cutting/damaging them and possibly getting bit by the cord when moving it around. It is safety on top of convenience and productivity.
Man you guys remember little monsters?? Imagine if they had the rocket light!
You must have a huge monthly tool budget haha
He runs his own business so if these lights allow him to work longer days during the winter time then they will pay for themselves in no time.
What if I don’t pay my electric bill? Will it still work??
Building in Australia is good, we never need lights unless working inside
Kind of off topic but I’ve noticed you wear thorogood boots. How do you like them?
George swears they are bad to the bone.
How well do these hold up in the rain?
Świeć tu, mi czy sobie świecisz!?
Kyle thanks for shedding some lumens on this situation.
MrToolean lol
Does millwaukee make any more lights that work as cha ry gers besides 2130
$600 work light. Ok
I guess I'll just throw it into the bid
How did this video come up just as I'm about to buy a bunch of lighting for paintjobs where we have to mask off all the lights...
Robert Kressa II ESP bud
We are not alone...
Did you buy all those? Or does Milwaukee send you products for T&E?
Was wondering the same thing, since that's several grand worth of lights, most looking new.
I would also like to know if this is a paid placement.
He already said in the beginning of the video that it isn't sponsored and if it was then he would have to by law tell us in the video otherwise he can face fines and maybe even criminal charges.
He said it’s not a paid sponsorship. I’m assuming they all look relatively new because if you are dropping that much coin you want to keep them in good shape. Also, it’s not like he is a plumber or a concrete finisher where your tools take more abuse and get dirtier. He builds post frames. If you’ve watched any of his stories or videos he says he doesn’t work in the rain because he invested too much in the tools to just ruin them by getting them wet. Take the hate over to John malecki’s page where it seems he gets everything for free.
Kind of Valley Girlish accent there dude. But good demo.
Do they come with a drool rag included?
Can I get a vitamin D infusion with these?
How many battery's do you own?
Never enough
Can you use those lights in the heavy rain? How well does it handle cold weather? I’m looking for work light that’s waterproof.
I had two of the 7 foot octagonal rocket lights exact same model as he has out off grid in extreme rain totally exposed for hours and hours on end. One finally flashed out.................once dried out it flashed right back up and no problems since.
*Have* , taking them in this Fall for the 12.0 refit.
Haha I pay 30 dollars for my 2500 lumin hyper tough and 75 for my 10,000 lumin hyper tough. I can’t bring myself to paying hundreds for a light.
Yeah, those are great for smaller areas, or if you have a few of them to light up the room. But I can tell you that even though they are branded Hyper Tough, I have dropped one from a rafter and it broke on impact. I had another one that I tripped over, and the next day when I turned it on, it did not work. I have used Milwaukee lights, and they are a lot more durable. Was on a job where a scaffolding fell over on a Rocket, and it continued to work while we lifted the debris off of it, and the only damage was one of the sections of the stand were bent. Took it to Northern Tool and it was repaired and back on the site in a day.
Jeremiah Mckenna uhhhh no lmao. They easily light up just as much as any other light.
@@Taylormade2350 Like I said, I have used some of them in my arsenal on several different jobs sites. They are decent if you only want to light up a specific area, but if you want to light up an entire room, you would need to have six or seven of them in order to have bright light in all directions so that everyone can see what they are doing, or so that you can move around the walls without having to stop what you are doing and move the light as you move around the walls etc.
They also don't hold up to the every day use, borderline abuse as well as these do. As I said, I have broken them by simple incidents.
I would use one of them when I am working under a car, or if I need a lot of direct light on a fender or something like that though, because normally a shop setting isn't as detrimental to tools as a job site can be.
another thing I noticed is the temperature of the light between the lower costing lights and the higher priced lights. The lower cost lights tend to make my eyes fatigued a little faster by comparison. But that may be me, I'm not sure. Sort of like buying a lower costing driving or off road light that both have the same CP / Lumen rating, but the name brand lights are a little better.
Do they charge the batteries when plugged into 110v AC?
was wondering the same thing!
Yes, they do.
Some models do, some don't. If they do, then the product name will be "... Light/Charger". For example, the Rocket 2135 and 2136 lights have chargers in the bases, while the 2130, 2131, and 2132 (M12) don't. The large Radius light, 2150-20, has a charger, but the compact versions don't.
Models with chargers tend to go for $300+ and all to date have been slow chargers (~3A, so 2 hours for an XC6.0, 4 hours for an HD12.0, etc). Slow charging is better for battery health and is easier to design around since it produces less waste heat.
That must be blinding
This is not a sponsored video, but did you pay for all those lights ?, thought not so it is a sponsored video
by law he has to say if it is sponsored or not, so you bet he did pay for those lights
✌✌✌✌
If you knew the difference between a 12 V and a 18 V battery you might be worth watching
Who the hell makes a Light review without going out into a field in the middle of the light and see how it works. Don’t see why you don’t show us that unless it sucks.
The small torches are too expensive, something like the rocket for $199 is much better value considering how much goes into making it, the small ones for $69 are overpriced.
I shot it 😞.
You obviously don’t know about scangrip lighting..m12 rocket light is great but all the rest is just ridiculous
my 10.50 an hour is keeping me behind :(
does anyone really buying 200$-300$ light??
All the time................it pays for itself with work output.
Nice but dont shout.
This guy never worked a day in his life
cool review
