Rechargeable headlamp comparison: Milwaukee vs. Klein vs. "budget" (GoForWild)

[@stephen1819]

I'm in the market for a new headlamp. Thank you very much for the reviews on all 3 thank you

[@johnhopwood8795]

Had my Klein for 2 years everything works great

[@JJ-lu6mg]

Milwaukee rates there lights on the low mode not on medium that’s why it didn’t last to the rated specs...

[@ryandice6637]

A big thing for me is how heavy the Milwaukee head-lamp is. Great quality, nice even lighting which helps seeing fine details. But all that weight at the front of your hardhat really puts strain on your neck. I wonder how the other ones are in comparison?

I use the Klein hard hat, so I needed Klein headlamp to go with it. Hard hat itself is very comfortable and balanced, you don’t even feel the light is attached. I never wore one without hard hat, but I can understand your struggle lol

[@Blackdynasty123]

Facts I agree with you I have both the klien is way more powerful and I don't even have the most strongest one .the Milwaukee is nice just to much weight and it's not convenient like the klien you can put on fast and leave if want I don't need all time so I don't keep them on so klien is way to go if you get klien hardhat even better cause don't need strap just put it on

[@bubbajay842]

Got my new hard hat with Klein rechargeable lamp and it only last about 7 hours of all day use! Not sure if mine if defective, but I can’t get full11 hours out of it! Pissing me off, as it starts flashing at about 7 hours!!!

[@Blackdynasty123]

Same it def doesn't last like they say did you have it on the lowest mode

[@techtom83]

The go for wild headlamps on Amazon seem to have 3 very similar lamps. With no website to refer to. The one you have has two leds near the top corners. Another one has 4 leds, two being on each side. And then there’s a third with leds incorporated into the main center lens housing around the edges. Were you able to come up with any big difference between these 3 from reading their descriptions???

[@dobledekersoulwrekr]

I wear the Milwaukee every day, on my head and have many swappable batteries. The Milwaukee has lasted the past 2 years wonderfully and quality of light crushes those other 2. Oh, but it didn't last a half hour? Ridiculous

[@russiansparky4194]

[@rhettoracle9679]

Excellent thorough review, especially run time. Bought a two pack of the Go For Wild rechargeable Amazon sale for $22. Plan to bring one light and battery from second camping. The wave to activate feature seems nice in a dark tent. Peace

[@Kains_whored]

how did it go

[@alzathoth]

i like how klein has a clip on mount for hardhats.

[@allanyang21]

Does the Klein have a removable battery? It’s not futureproof if battery degrades and need replacement. But for the price, if it has a 2 year lifetime I guess it’s ok.

[@Blackdynasty123]

No it doesn't just trust me it's the better choice I have both the klien is way more convenient better looking way brighter last longer weights less easier to put on and take off I got the Milwaukee for free from my foreman I use it as back up when klien goes out till I can charge

[@allanyang21]

@@Blackdynasty123 I end up getting klein too

[@charlschuck6]

Whats the water proof rating ? how long did it took to recharge each battery , which one charge fastest after the test of draining Or overall daily personal usage ?

[@Nick-vf3wf]

Easy choice for me. Already had milwaukee flood light w 2 batteries now i have the head lamp & 3 batteries.

[@gramajomd]

The sensor is great to perform small surgeries and not touching the light

[@tecnolover2642]

For the Milwaukee,,, is that a proprietary battery or can it be replaced with a standard lithium battery ?

[@Gruntled2001]

Proprietary.. it's shaped and sized like the 18650, but the contacts are proprietary to Milwaukee.

[@frankmontez6853]

I’ve now three of these headlamps and my least favorite is the purely AAA battery powered Coast one. My Craftsman rechargeable one is my favorite. It’s only has two modes high and low spot for close in work. Also red light. But it holds a long charge never letting me down. I couldn’t find this so got a kobalt at Lowe’s which I haven’t used yet. It’s highly rated in reviews. It’s got more modes than my craftsman and lithium ion rechargeable and if that runs out can switch to AAA batteries which are included. Seems good.

Hi Zack! Thanks for this interesting video. My like for you as usual. Will you translate all remaining videos from main channel?

[@russiansparky4194]

Thank you, my friend! I'll try! But, most likely, I'll make them just going forward. Thank you for being my subscriber TWICE!

[@mjac8373]

Thanks for NOT comparing fifteen different lights on ten different tests as some others do. Appreciate your style and information. Helped me a lot.

[@TheAtherion]

Throw in a Nitecore HC 65 Is there some kind of replacement for the Klein battery if it dies ?

[@Gruntled2001]

It's not a customer-replaceable battery, but if it dies, I'd imagine you can take it to an official distributor and try to get a replacement. Home Depot, for instance, will replace almost anything.

[@wileecoyote5749]

Check out Amazon. They have great lights with the 18650 batteries which can be replaced.

If 8 hr is enough, then the Milwaukee had the more usable beam hea.

Where are Husky and DeWalt my friend?😉

[@Gruntled2001]

Tim, fancy to see you here, my friend! I didn't know Husky and DeWalt had rechargeable headlamps. If you have links, let me know, I might do a re-match :)

You need a MillerTech

[@MrKopamontanga]

Wow if that's your biggest gripe it not lasting the full time , when you said yourself it's a safety feature so it doesn't damage the battery and it discharges therefore possibly making it inoperable ...??? Milwaukee all day brother sorry , spend the $40 on it well worth it !!!!!

[@rhettf1866]

Don't make the mistake I made and buy the klein . It's a pos

[@ulyssesgood1]

Klein is the best

[@jorgeeltoritoperez7238]

I don’t recommend Milwaukee as electrician I need my light 💡 I used Klein and it broke the first day ., Im probably going to use the fifteen dollar one with aaa batteries for now 😂

There are so many types on amazon that charge via usb for less than 25 bucks and are so great.

[@ltwadley7619]

You cannot compare a 200 lumen (Klein) headlamp to a 475 lumen (Milwaukee) headlamp. You have to compare like products.

[@russiansparky4194]

Fair comment, but lumens are subjective, besides, the headlamps have different lighting modes. It all comes down to which light can provide good work lighting for the longest period of time.
