Eastwood Gladius COB LED Magnetic Work Light

Today we check out the Eastwood Gladius Work Light. Out of the box seems like a decent enough work light. I forgot to mention that all the pictures I showed were at that 1/4 to 1/3 turn on the dial. My guess is you’d be able to get at least an 8 hour day out of it without recharging.

Cover the magnets in painters tape. They always get covered in rust and little metal bits which can scratch surfaces and be a PITA to clean off. W the painters tape, you can see the metal bits easier, and clean them off easier.

I use Head torches that take 18650 cells, You can swap them out in seconds. Fully charged they last all day.

[@jacksmith2315]

Way too chunky. The night buddies are the way to go. Way lighter, more comfortable, and no big chunky battery. They come cheap in 2 packs so can always have one charged when the other dies. And the area it lights up is amazing, super bright, wide beam, and also has an option for more direct beam.

[@Dwayne_Bearup]

​@@jacksmith2315On the one I have with those big lithium batteries, the battery pack has a belt clip and a long cord, meaning the head lamp itself is fairly light.

[@jacksmith2315]

Im familiar with them. For me, its just too bulky. Im not a fam of head lamos as it is. The nite buddy or whatever is really the only one i like, and they ones that are the same just rebranded. They are inexpensive, really slim, really bright, wide spectrum, comfortable, light weight, and really next to nothing to them. The really slim is huge for me because im always in really tight spaces so anything thats even a little bulky doesnt work for me. Plus you can get a 2 pack for like $10-20 depending where you get it from, and they are usb c

[@Nebulon5000]

I highly recommend the Snap-on NECK LIGHT Hands-Free, I think they even have one where each light is removable. You could probably find another brand for cheaper with basically the same thing. It’s served me well, and I’ve even paired it with a headlamp so I look right out of the movie ET. Thanks for the heads up on this one Mr. Funk!

[@markfergerson2145]

The flexy magnet ends remind me of the old Snakelight which kind of worked but tended to slide around once you wrapped it around whatever you used to mount it to. I always wished there was a hook on the non-lit end so you could hang it up if there was nothing handy to wrap it around. Those flexy ends could use hooks too imo (just in case the manufacturer watches reviews like this) in cases there just isn’t a steel surface handy and the existing hooks aren’t placed right for. I mean you could use a bungee to attach it to say a 2x4 but every time I need to do something like that all my bungees are busy holding something else down. Could just dedicate a bungee to it and wrap it around the light. It wouldn’t really get in the way.

"Doctors mirror" That's my autism fix for light

[@shiminowind]

I still have my incandescent work light. Still the best work light I ever had. Only reason I don't use it is currently is where I'm located at now I wouod need 100ft of cord to get to my work area and I'm getting too old to want to string out power cords for a limited use

[@foxwood67]

50 bucks sounds decent. I’d keep an eye on the switch sticking out if it gets placed face down.

[@bansheedearg]

Look, my friend, I've laughed at your shorts, rate your toe, stubby's woodworking class, magic pliers, pointing out fraud with comical flair. However, your Williams Tools expose prompted me to get the deluxe set for my son, who is a mechanical engineer a year out of school. And the Meyhew prybars based on your insight. But even with your frugal advice, I cannot buy every tool you recommend. I wouldn't care if you pointed a light at the wall and did shadow puppetry with our hands while laughing maniacally, I still love what you do and all you have given us.

[@donhappel9566]

I really like the form factor of my little Milwaukee light, but you nailed it on the battery life. Major fail there. I like the basic looks of this but it's just too damn big for my carry bag. Make it about 1/3 the size and keep the battery life up there and I'd be in.

[@TTime685]

Not bad at all. Needs a durability test

[@robertrusso8452]

Hey Wes ..what is the run time on the batteries?

[@FunkFPV]

2-15 hours depending on how far you turn the dial.

“Sucks down batteries like a cyber truck towing it’s capacity load” 😂😂 I have a cat forklift that will not stay running below 60 degree weather starts and dies until warmed up any ideas?

[@FunkFPV]

Probably a fuel problem if the a LP truck. Normally a new regulator will fix it but give the rest of the fuel system a good cleaning too.

[@mychealacathey]

Are those 4Y motors?

[@heyeshionolek]

On the mah rating ive always been confused because the native voltage is 3.7~ but charging voltage is 5 so at 3500 mah at 5v gives 17.5 watt hrs and then divide by native of 3.7 to get 4730 mah. Is this right or wrong??? It always confuses me. And is your tester thingy already compensating for the voltage difference if any.

[@FunkFPV]

The only correct way to test a battery’s actual capacity is to remove it, fully charge it and then discharge it. Whatever power you get out of it is the actual number. Things like temperature and the battery protection circuitry can skew the numbers when it’s in whatever you’re testing. I’ve checked the same battery 3 times in something and got +/- 500 mah. each time. If it’s in the ballpark of what they claim I’ll call it close enough.

Humm... I bought 2 very similar work lights from ALDI for AUD $29.95 roughtly US $20. And the 2 worklites can clip together to make a 1metre long work light. mgnetic etc etrc works brilliantly , only con , can't just lay it down on the concrete and use it , they roll over all the time

Don't buy the icon light. It has a mind of its own and you'll blind yourself six ways from Sunday. A light is always pointed at your eyes and no matter what order you think you left it in, the one that's pointing at your eyes is the one that's gonna turn on

[@FordThunderCougarFalconBird]

Hey Funk, are the hooks metal or plastic. I like these tool reviews by the way. You ever watch those guys that seem to know what they’re talking about. But then you catch a look at their boots, and they look clean and brand new. That irritates me, and I don’t feel like I can trust anything that comes out of their mouth. You on the other hand probably have some steel exposed on one toe, they’re dirty, scuffed, and smell like the beast. What I’m trying to say is I can trust your judgment. But a “TACOMA”?!? Really?!?😂

[@FunkFPV]

Haha I drive that 5500 all week. That Tacoma feels like a race car in comparison 😜 The hooks are plastic. They seem good enough for what they need to do 🤷🏻‍♂️
