Milwaukee M12 Flashlight

[@sorenmelloy9936]

Those torches/flashlights are super bright and seem pretty useful with the battery being able to be charged somewhat quickly

[@ManCaverTools]

I agree with you on that

[@tanthadcork5040]

Id like to see a Gen 2 version since this has been discontinued. Perhaps the Gen 2 would be shrunk down an inch or so and be upgraded to 1400 Lumens and be kitted with a CP2.5 High Output battery! @ManCaverTools

[@cdgregOG]

Wow, I’ve never seen this either. Great find even if it’s not “new.” It’s definitely not as widely known as most of the rest of their M12 line. Will be on my holiday wish list for sure

[@ManCaverTools]

I love this flashlight

[@SyrPipeOrg]

I’ve had a number of M12 flashlights going all the way back to the original incandescent model. Bought the first LED model which is plenty bright, but not as nifty as this one. This model appears to be less job site oriented and more general purpose. What REALLY needs reviewing are the 3.6v series lites. I have two 3.6v headlamps, a stick light, and flashlight, and for their size, they’re incredible. Being USB rechargeable makes them very convenient. I’m a sucker for Milwaukee tools. Outside of the mega-flop of the soldering iron, I’ve always been impressed with the sheer variety and quality.

[@ManCaverTools]

I really love this M12 flashlight. it feels really good in the hand and it wil metal. its a winner in my book

[@nickkk420]

Weird, I love my m12 soldering iron

[@SyrPipeOrg]

@@nickkk420 I did too until it melted apart. Check the online reviews. If you have it on for more than a few minutes at a time, the plastic collar that holds the tip onto the body melts.

[@nickkk420]

@@SyrPipeOrg I'll have to check, but I think they have modified the design, imm almost certain Mines got a metal collar. Regardless I do only ever use it for two are three minutes at a time, I'll be sure to watch for thst, as functionally it works fantastically

[@SyrPipeOrg]

@@nickkk420 Right. There's a threaded metal collar that holds the tip onto a metal flange. Its the plastic bit that holds the flange in place that's the problem. Most likely, myself and all of the other disappointed users out there were expecting a bit too much from this device.

[@VCGConstruction]

Just pure awesomeness

[@ManCaverTools]

I thank you VCG

[@paedahe4975]

Love those lights. Getting them both due to your awesome review. Stocking stuffers for Christmas 🎄!

[@deltasierra1774]

Dang right

[@brianf9619]

It's a nice light. The technology that these flashlights have these days is awesome , the 1 knock on this light and most tool company flashlights is their size , I have flashlights that are 4" or 5" long and have 1,000 to 1,500 lumens, with rechargeable 14500 and 18650 cells and cost under $50 , so it's hard for me personally to justify this purchase, but to each their own ....👍🛠🖖

[@ManCaverTools]

I see it as its just one more option to have and I thank you Brian

[@josephsands9407]

Anyone know why this M12 flashlight was discontinued?

[@jorgecardenas1128]

I need one

[@MrHowieZ1973]

Reminds me of some horror movie. Dude gonna get butchered by Jason Voorhees or kidnapped by aliens. lol Dave is lucky he didn't give himself a seizure with all that strobing

[@ManCaverTools]

lol I should have put a warining in the video. and I thank you for viewing Howie

[@stanleymcman9422]

You read my mind I was waiting for King Kong to come through the trees and grab ahold of him

[@txvet7738]

Man I just came across this video and love this light. Now I find out they don’t make it anymore…😢!

[@ManCaverTools]

I will see if they still sell it somewhere

[@txvet7738]

@@ManCaverTools I appreciate it man. I did some searching and found some for sale. It looks to be a great flashlight for the time when it came out but flashlights have come along way since then. Now I can get a more powerful flashlight of equal quality for the same price. I still might snatch one up just to add to my M12 tool collection…LOL!

[@flatulent-1]

I have some nice flashlights already, but I see I'm going to have to check this one out.

[@ManCaverTools]

It really is an awesome Torch. I thank you for viewing Fred

[@jscalpati]

I like the yellow light for colors. I work with color coded wires and the m12 is awesome for colors.

[@ManCaverTools]

very good and I thank you for viewing Joe

[@miket2172]

got the m12 on clearance 40$must of been in a corner someplace the package was covered in dust i got so happy when i saw it was that light i been looking at it for years but never had m12 stuff just m18 i recently got some m12 tools so worked out perfect i love the light so much i paid 80$ for the 1100 lumens light and love that just as much im in construction so the small size helps for certain stuff

[@ManCaverTools]

very good and I than you for viewing Mike

[@custombowl8304]

I need it ,would be great for under houses and up in attics !

[@NarySllim]

Milwaukee 2355-20, seems pretty awesome. Don’t think it’s actually new as someone else said. I’ve read reviews about it for the past few years but haven’t seen any around. Good review though! Thanks

[@ManCaverTools]

Im surprised that is was made in 2016. I've never seen this flashlight before. I edited the video and took brand new out. it should be fixed in a few hours

[@kristiandawe85]

i was in the market for a mag lite, but after seeing this the m12 is what i will be getting, i wonder how long it will run with a 6ah battery

[@ManCaverTools]

I love this flashlight and yes it will run for a while on a 6ah

[@mtanyctrainatlantamartatra7164]

Get both

[@brianklein6387]

Don't know if you meant by "NEW" that's it's new to you or new product but there are videos of this being reviewed in August 2016

[@ManCaverTools]

Brian Klein that’s my bad. I’ve never seen this light. And I do a lot of research on these tools and have never come across this one.

[@danmadden1080]

Thanks again Dave 👍👍👍.

[@ManCaverTools]

I thank you Dan :)

[@ronfox5519]

I bought one of these a year or two ago on clearance for $40. I already had batteries. They were originally asking $100. Imo, its only a good light if you need the milwaukee durability. Normal price is a joke. If you had to buy batts to boot- then no way. As for perfomance, you can get more lumens, distance, & features in a smaller package at a better price without looking very hard. These other lights probably wouldnt take hard use like the milw, and it is plenty good enough. I just wouldnt be bragging it up like its some kind of superstar.

[@levipankey]

Just put a bag over it and Walah, waterproof. Haha

[@ManCaverTools]

lol. I thank you for viewing Levi

[@markchidester6239]

The only thing I wish is there was no strobe light. Who uses this? I know, it's Incase of emergency. Well, that doesn't happen often enough to have it on every single flashlight made. Ideally, a power button and a selector switch would be great.

[@ManCaverTools]

I agree, on/off high and low is good enough

[@mfill5043]

Just ordered!

[@ManCaverTools]

this is my favorite flashlight

[@jtcindahaus]

I’m sad I can’t find this m12 flashlight anymore

[@ManCaverTools]

lets find it for you :)

[@jtcindahaus]

@@ManCaverTools ok, that sounds great!!

[@jtcindahaus]

@@ManCaverTools you ever find one for me?

[@jacobfilla5684]

cool light

[@ManCaverTools]

I agree with you on that Tool

[@jlsgarage872]

Considering the m12 rocket light is 1400 lumens and can run off a 6.0 for 6 hours this isn't super impressive. Also you can tone it down to 700 and run it for 10 hours

[@nguyent2477]

Supper tool 👍

[@ManCaverTools]

I have to agree with you on that Makita

[@mtanyctrainatlantamartatra7164]

[@ManCaverTools]

that search light it awesome.

[@amoscardoza5253]

Milwaukee does have a 700lm rechargeable "flashlight looking" light!

[@ManCaverTools]

Correct. but this one is apart of a battery system that goes with a lot of other tools. that's what I love and it looks like a real flashlight

[@leonardofernandes3388]

it could be 2000 lumes so yes it was top

[@ManCaverTools]

I thank you for viewing

[@rjd8434]

It’s $79 bare tool which is seriously seriously expensive for a flashlight

[@ManCaverTools]

I agree with you on the price. most of these tools are too expensive

[@billlee1724]

70% metal and you could see 60 seconds away not baaaaad;)

[@ManCaverTools]

I don't think its bad at all for a 12v tool

[@billlee1724]

No me either I’ve been meaning to buy one for awhile

Can we maybe have a seizure warning? I’m sorry to be an annoyance. But I have epilepsy. And it triggered a seizure. Thanks! Love the videos!!

[@myshots101]

I agree. I don't have seizures but I hate the strobe lights on flashlights.

[@ManCaverTools]

you are correct, I should have. ill know that for the next time I do a flashlight video and I thank you for your input Preston

[@elmetro78]

Bad flashlight
