Best detailed desciption of product, how to use, function and limitations. I really appreciate your attention to detail, Jeff. You put a LOT of hard work and time into this. Thank you so much. Really great camera work too!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for recognizing all that about the camera work, it took me 3 days of filming in blistering heat, plus about 12 hours of post production. The type of movie making cinematography I shoot takes a lot longer, and has a lot of frustration associated with it, but yields fruitful results.
Best review of the Rocket light on the internet. Thanks for investing the time and resources to put this together. 👍👍
Glad it was helpful Tim! I'm working on the M12 review this weekend
I agree Jeff is a good guy and provides excellent reviews 👍
Jeff, great stuff here! Your review of the M18 Rocket Light is about the only one worth watching on CZcams. I will say, not all LED’s are created equal. As a matter of fact, there is a HUGE difference between a cheap LED and a high quality one when it comes to quality of light that it puts out. I would also highly recommend researching color rendering index and how LEDs are rated when it comes to that. A little research on LEDS will really improve subsequent light review. :)
Purchased this light last Christmas and received a free battery and charger. Love this light, it’s been a life saver. $199 but not the rapid charger. I felt like I stole it. ❤️ Forgive me, love your channel and all you do for us.
I was using this light to work on my wife's engine last night at the to 11:30 p.m. To solve an overheating issue
I hope I get a similar deal this holiday season. Cheers!
This was a very thorough, and detailed review! Professional and informative. I just ordered this light, and looking forward to using it, I hope i made the right choice. Thanks, 👍🏾
Was trying to decide on this deal which tool to get. This video made me go with the light. Nice video
Glad I could help, thanks for watching Austin!
I have to say that I'm very impressed with this light. Its not perfect but if you really want to splurge they have the other model which runs for about $500 which is insane for DIY users. Overall, it seems like a great light and the DeWalt tower light has a lot of complaints related to poor construction so I think the Milwaukee M18 Rocket light is the only real option. That said, phenomenal video. Very impressed with your level of detail! Cheers!
During the summer. Florida it’s so hot, humid, & too bright during the day. I bought this for detailing cars after sunset. Was totally worth it.
Good choice!
Great video, thank you! I pulled the plug - you know ur lighting!
Glad it helped April
Great video! In the market for a tower light and this is very useful.
Great video! I was thinking of getting this with the deal or wait for the ryobi one to come out since I have more ryobi batteries than milwaukee. Seems like solid light that will last a long time.
Ge tone of each!
I got it 3 weeks ago!!!! 👍no regrets.
Around the same time as me!
Great video thanks! I didn't know about the holding the power button down to shut it off.
Glad I could help! As an engineer I have always been thorough in rooting out features and defects.
@@jeffostroff my kids watched it with me and we were laughing when you called them out about the 3 heads. Keep up the good work we appreciate the videos!
Beautiful footage, great camera work. I have this light and similar Ridgid light, both lights are great, l like Ridgid better.
Cool, thanks. Have you ever tried the Ridgid mat lights?
jeffostroff not yet, you have got me interested.
The dewalt version is almost identical to this one , only the dewalt is 3000 lumens. Both do leave the head exposed upward when folded for storage.
The deWalt version does not plug into the wall, but Milwaukee does
3 heads are talking about the rocket light that I have, it's the model step up from this one 2135-20
Older model, no longer made? When did you buy that one?
@@jeffostroff no it's newer model than the one in your video, they sell it for 399, I got it somehow on clearance for 200 a month ago but it's still sold for 399
I have that an I love it
It is a good light, yes
What is the exact internal size? I don't want it for the light, I want to use it to carry extension polls thanks
Just scooped this up from HD for 270 with 2 6 Ah XC batteries and a charger.
I just got the same deal.
You park your Mercedes on the street? Man you're brave.
That's my daughter's car, she's stuck home from cancelled college, so that's only place she can park. Every house on our street has cars on the street.
Just got mine for $189 with free xc 8h battery
Yes I saw in store they lowes the price, we showed it in our livestream from the store tonight
I wonder how long the battery will last on high with me 12ah battery, going to use it for camping at the dunes
I want one but it's huge wish they would make it compact like the m12
But th eM12, it's a nice light, and it's light weight too
Are you getting ready to do a Bank Job, Jeff ? :) Got to have light in that tunnel. lol
I'll run LED rope lights in the underground tunnel, LOL!
TrueView is the bee's knees. It makes for accurate color representation. Say you're diffusing a bomb. You're gonna want to make sure you cut the properly colored wires...
Can you stop the flashing when the batterie is low?
Not that I know of, I have not looked for it, but yes that is an annoying feature
2135-20 has 3000 lumens, and hybrid powered, which dewalt is not, theirs is only battery powered
DeWalt needs to get with the program, and make it corded and cordless

The three heads adjustment in the manual is for the big brother of this light, that one has 3 heads you can adjust separately from each other. Both lights probably share the same manual, cause besides the heads they’re otherwise the same. This is super common for tool manufacturers to do, so I don’t get the confusion in the video. Have you never seen that before? If so how is that possible for a tool review guy?
Most tool manufacturers when they use the same manual for multiple models will list all the models it applies to on the cover. The instructions clearly showed only 2130-20 on the cover, with the drawing of the one head version. So I don’t get your confusion, or the smart alec comment
Wether intentional or not, it’s a very common occurrence to see manuals have instructions for related tools without listing all the specific serial numbers in the manual. If you’re a DIY guy I could understand the comment, as a reviewer I guess I get you adding a bit of humor for content quality. I guess I maybe expected less surprise, or at least a mention that it’s pretty common to see that. As for being a Smart Alec - in the words of Chucky from the show Sons Of Anarchy: “I accept that”.
There is a model with three heads (2135-21HD) but I don't think it's dual power.
Maybe a Gen 1 model?
The model you are referring to, is the 2nd gen and is dual power as well 3k lumens
I think there was 17 commercials
CZcams must be getting desperate for income, I'm seeing an uptick in commercials myself when I watch videos.
When’s that ratchet comparison video coming up?
Had setbacks this week, I got a new ACDelco torque adapter to measure torque and it did not work out of box, so now I'm waiting for a new one to be delivered.
jeffostroff Awesome! Thanks for the update.
The value price on the battery kit, thats if you buy each separately. One 6ah battery is $165 and a charger is $69. So..165 +165+69=$399.
Yes, always buy the Rocket when there is a BOGO
🍻🍺
Thanks for joining us tonight Konaman!
There is a difference in led work lights. Some other work site lights are almost blue lighting. Which is terrible.
I have not measured the color temp on this light, but would prefer it to be the next step up in white color. This looks like 2700k, which is warm white, but a bit too yellow for my preference. I prefer 3000K or higher.
👏👏👏👍🇺🇸💖
Thanks for coming back to another video Den!
I think you got your vacuum prices mixed, 219 standard not 119 and 189 lowest not 89
Why do you keep promoting Chinese made products?
Why do you keep whining about Chinese made products? Go find me a light tower made in the USA, don't just come here with trite worn down bantor about how Chinese tools suck. Show up with the solution in hand.
@@jeffostroff Well you whiner, the solution in hand is to stop buying and supporting the Chinese economy. I never expressed an opinion of the quality. I won't question, comment or watch your channel again. Have a great day.
@@seoulbrooks Yes we buy American whenever we can, but your philosophy is short sited. You are forgetting that these products are stocked in American stores by American workers, and if we all stopped buying them, then the engineers who are U.S. based would lose their jobs. The Marketing employees would lose their jobs. The employees of the American stores where these are sold would lose their jobs. the truckers who deliver them to the stores would lose their jobs So you can see you have not thought this out properly.
@@jeffostroff . What a clueless doofus. Perhaps, he should take a look at the USA/China trade deficit. We don't build anything in the USA anymore. Even tools like Craftman and others are no longer built in the USA. We're a service based economy and its not likely to change in our lifetimes.
That was by far the worst 30
Minutes I’ve ever spent in my life…. You could have made this video an easy 5 minutes….
Another whiner. If I made a 5 minute video, whiners like you would complain why didn't mention this or this or this. Don't know how to use CZcams? Don't know you can watch at 2x speed? Don't know how to use the scrubber to jump ahead in a video? You knew the video was 30 minutes and you watched it anyway? This one is on you.
