Quick comparison

Thanks for the detailed review! I appreciate that you go out of your way to provide information for your viewers to make an informed decision.

[@Angel-xh5pq]

aBMWEnthusiast Thank you for watching, happy to help

[@ashqelon7267]

the total price on these units are close in cost once you buy the battery and charger needed for them. Mil has the 115V plug in feature I like and makes it more usable “some". Wondering the battery life span how many months ot lasts before a new battery is needed. Hard to say any one is overall superior though.

[@techtalk490]

Great video very helpful

[@scottsena6760]

My main battery path is Milwaukee M12/M18 (and not one bad tool amongst) but having said that? Same can be said for the other major brands I use....even some Ridgid and a few Ryobi tools Here it looks like the best value is the Dewalt though, but so batteried up in the Milwaukee platform that I’m gonna have to stick with Milwaukee’s excellent platform.....2 M12 Rocket Lights are going to be grabbed first. (Small quality 1400 lumin’ers that are built well.) Great review here Mr!

[@yehudagoldberg6400]

My local home depot had the Milwaukee rocket on sale for $289

[@CAImportHater]

Straight forward no bs review. Thank you!

[@fmonk]

They didn't work together. More likely they both shopped for products at the same Asia-based manufacturer and each put their own spins on the basic design to be unique/consistent to each brand. This is how the modern outsourcing global economy works.

[@UnenthusiasticPerson]

I’m a dewalt man but I gotta say that Milwaukee on the right does look nice.

[@ShanPrez]

I’m picking up one of these dewalt lights!

[@TheBasedUchiha]

Is there room on the Milwaukee rocker port to connect a dewalt battery with an adapter? Or do I need to get a Milwaukee battery?

[@realworldcarpentryremodeli5868]

I just bought the dewalt. This thing is incredible . It’s like daylight. My nay complaint is the lack of a lens cover when stored.

[@asef698]

Built in charger. You can't swap batteries when its dead? Do you have to plug the whole thing in to charge it?

[@parkhays117]

ashley sefton For the Milwaukee light with the built in charger you can swap batteries when the one in it dies. The built in charger feature simply means that if you plug in the light it will also charge a battery placed in the light.

[@iiu82_75]

highly recommend this purchase

[@BenJamin-ou7kd]

Dewalt is so bright and color temperature is very good ,

[@Angel-xh5pq]

ben ten It's a great light

[@dman5703]

I got the 2135-20 and i love it but it has some wobble

[@BouncyThrone]

Jones, I'm trying to decide between the DeWalt and the Milwaukee tower lights they got out right now. My biggest concern is the quality and temperature of the light. The Milwaukee "trueview lighting claims to show colors better then standard white LEDs if you're doing wiring in the dark, have you noticed any difference with color rendering between the two lights? Will the DeWalt allow me to see differences like blue and purple pink and red?

[@Angel-xh5pq]

The Dewalt and both Milwaukee have a Natrual white color. Milwaukee calls it "True view", Dewalt calls it "Natrual white". All are great lights, but I find the Milwaukee with the built in charger, and 3 swivel heads to be superior than the other two lights although more expensive. The Dewalt might not have swivel heads or built in charger, but for being half the price as the Milwaukee rocket light it's a great light for the price and still puts out 3000 lumens

[@BouncyThrone]

@@Angel-xh5pq I pickled up the Dewalt this afternoon and pitted it against my Milwaukee Rover light.. Color is fine, so shouldn't have any problems distinguishing between different wires in attics and panel boxes Etc.. This DeWalt light seems pretty great and well-built despite all the plastic, and I'm very pleased, especially since my DeWalt batteries are already paid for.. Lol.. My partner's old DeWalt LED light it's bright but seems to drown out colors, and can make wiring more difficult.. Also, I'm not sure if it's an upgrade or what but the head on my light seems to swivel 180 degrees just fine, then you turn the light lens the other way and swivel the other hundred Eighty, for the full 360 without having to move the tripod position.. I really appreciate your rapid response.. Very cool! Thank you for your time..

[@VCGConstruction]

Nice brother! I'll take the Milwaukee all day

[@Thirdplace4life]

I Got none of these. I just got the bad boy DCL070 just a few days ago. It's a beast both in light and size lol. That's the only thing I don't like about it. As a DIY'er, I don't know where I'm gonna store it. But I'm sure I'll find room in my garage.

[@foam27]

too big and bulky.

[@Pyro4100]

They're all made by techtronic Industries in China parent company of all those Brands you see but at the Walt light is pretty nice I've got the handheld and it's awesome

[@danielwilson1419]

Pyro4100 TTI does not own DeWalt. Stanley/black and Decker does. TTI ownes Milwaukee Ryobi and Ridgid power tool brands.

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

Milwaukee rocket for the win ... its has 3 lights and each one can be turned and aimed independant of each other and it can run on ac ....

[@craighatch3221]

Well done, you really can’t go wrong with either brand. I’d go with the dewalt too, but I’m becoming bias, I’ve had all the major brands and Dewalt has been the best brand for me.

[@ivanalvarado6051]

Milwaukee all day has ac built in and can move the led lights.

[@AnthonyPearson4JesusofNazareth]

Yea they did do it right for once, makita will come out with something better

[@user-ez4gb3hl6m]

I have the DeWalt and Milwaukee and I just got the flex let me tell you the flex is in another level.and I love DeWalt and Milwaukee but the flex all I have to say is y'all should buy one and see for your self. . On sale for 189.99 at Lowe's .

[@scottjohnson3226]

Thanks for the informative video! Well done.

[@bretlange969]

Just picked up a milwaukee with a 8.0 battery for 199

[@jayboy189]

how long does the power last

[@joemontague7404]

How much brighter is the 3000 over the 2000 I'm thinking of getting the 2000

[@Angel-xh5pq]

Joe Montague A little brighter, They will all get the job done, whether 2000lm or 3000lm. 2000lm is still plenty of light. I bought the 2000 lm because I got a good deal on it and still use it. There're all good lights. The plus on the 2000lm model is you get a little more runtime, thanks for watching

[@peterbalogh3112]

@@Angel-xh5pq LOL on your last sentence! If you click on the power switch of the 3000lm than you get about 2000lm also with better runtime also! I don't get it how is it a plus on the 2000lm one... Great video btw!

[@jrelpantera1982]

I just ordered a dewalt light

[@Scottjr5561.]

How long does battery last

[@WickedWoodWorks]

Does the Dewalt take the 54v Flexvolt batteries?

[@Angel-xh5pq]

Ian Hall yes it does

[@gileradna1251]

Angel Jones thanks very much for taking the time to reply.

[@iginio3G]

Not a 54v (60v), using 18v (20V) only

[@sierravmax]

Yes my 9.0ah battery fits just fine. So the new 12.0ah should work also.

[@christophercrawford2736]

The flex volt batteries work on any 20 V Max tool(or 18v in other countries)

[@BenJamin-ou7kd]

I just ordered 2 dewalt from acme tools with a 14% off, saves 50$

[@louispina7130]

Dewalt all the way !!

[@cesarcruz8180]

CUANTO CUESTAN LÁMPARAS ESTOY INTEREZADO

[@redrhino3041]

DeWalt made that style first it lacks a AC adaptor like the Milwaukee

[@MyTubeSVp]

Dude, consider another light source for your videos. You have a really weird shadow ! 😈

[@TranTek]

Don’t think DeWalt lets you use power from the wall outlet.

[@sunnylad878]

Does the dewalt indicate when the battery is low?

[@Angel-xh5pq]

Sunny Lad yes, it starts flashing when battery is low, and so does the Milwaukee's

[@markjarman7819]

I have the dewalt light. Also have a mains adapter for it so best of both worlds. I personally think Milwaukee copy dewalt to a point. Look at the table saw and the light.

[@Kianrui]

Both Milwaukee rocket light and stand light, which is better? Brighter? Higher?

[@evanbland4011]

I've owned the Milwaukee rocket light for many years now and it's awesome. A lot of light and the ability to throw light in 3 different directions. A huge plus is the ability to use it with either a battery or I can plug it in with a extension cord, and it'll charge the battery too. I've noticed that it's getting harder to find the rocket light at HD.

[@loucifer4225]

Dewalt always better build than Milwaukee I worked at home depot and we always got more Milwaukee tools back even though we sold way more dewalt

[@Angel-xh5pq]

lou cifer I know Acme tools has them for $199 free shipping no tax. Amazon has them too

[@brianalsum7706]

Yeah, because home depot has such a rock solid salesperson training program! like asking a flight attendant what airplane is the best...

[@Johnfanclub]

Tuan Kearney DeWalt is hands down just as good if not better , and alot of their tools are made in USA unlike shitty Milwaukee

[@brianalsum7706]

Hate to break it to you but "Built in the USA with global materials" means made in China and put together in America. no major difference from any of the other ones. if it was truly made in America it would be 2-3x as costly

[@Johnfanclub]

Tuan Kearney obviously they do t make it all in the USA but main components like the gears , plastic casing of the drill are made and put together here. That's allot better then it all being made in China and assembled in China

[@BenJamin-ou7kd]

Rhater than working togehter , i think both dew and mil bought parts from the same source, i can predict cheaper branded versions of these in the future

[@henryjon45able]

Milwalkee all the way

[@stevennihipali3607]

I went milwaukee because I'm already on the platform

[@leondieso4235]

Where can I get the dewalt one from thanks ?

[@Angel-xh5pq]

leon dieso Acme tools has them for $199 free shipping no tax. Amazon also has them

[@leondieso4235]

Ok thanks.

[@brianalsum7706]

Is google broken?

[@johndoe-ci1cy]

Dewalt all the way

[@MysticMaven]

American DeWalt over Chinese Milwaukee any day!

[@Jdmtunerlover]

With parts from other countries more than likely china. So yeah dewalt uses china parts

[@jody6121]

The 2 on the left were made in the same factory for both dewalt and Milwaukee....dewalt nor Milwaukee made either of them.

[@dannyboy9254]

DEWALT BABE

[@wftseriously6694]

Milwaukee...

[@baltazarduarte7251]

Broooo that same laser u among at the camera I’d the the same one I see on my red dot on your wife wanna see how bright it is

[@greenskiis]

That DeWalt is the worst of the 3 in build quality. The collars are made of plastic, while the more recent Milwaukee stand lights and all of the rocket lights are built with metal.

[@loucifer4225]

greenskiis The dewalt is better built what are you talking about fanboy

[@greenskiis]

I just explained WHY it was better built, dumbass. Those plastic collars won't hold up anywhere near as well as the metal ones on the Milwaukees. My apologies if that's beyond your comprehensive skills.

[@petepistachio8229]

greenskiis Chinese metal is the same strength as AMERICAN plastics!!!! DeWalt for the WIN!!!

[@jonathanmiu4807]

Dewalt parts still come from China just assembled here lol

[@petepistachio8229]

Jonathan Miu that’s correct. Some parts come from china. We live in a global economy. Just the way business is done now a days. BUT, DeWalt chooses to create jobs here in the states by assembling a multitude of tools here. More then can be said for red china.

[@JJ-lu6mg]

The Default is a copy cat maybe you think it’s brighter because it’s yellow 😂. 🍋🍋🍋

[@iginio3G]

Look safety yellow

[@peterbalogh3112]

You'll trip over yellow legs less likely then black in a half dark room for sure! Just sayin'
