instaBlaster...

thank you a ton...I appreciate it

Yeah big sponsor for him i think

Starting to lose credibility, like builds and toolsday but too much red

If you have juice at the house/site, then it is typically normal practice to have a charger or two plugged in and batteries charging while you work. But I have a routine to clean out the truck at the end of the day, and if necessary, recharge the batteries that were used during the day. Not to mention that a few of these lights are capable of being plugged in and be a battery charger while they are lighting the job site.

Jonathan M thanks bro I don’t even listen to them. I know how hard I work

zfilmmaker thanks man and I honestly can’t believe the light quality

Aaron Repper I love lights too! Lol

That would be somewhat of a technical challenge (audio / RF triangulation needs more nodes and competes with other signals in the environment, GPS would be blocked by buildings, machine vision would need line of sight) and is more of a single worker scenario. I can't see it being an economic or even particularly useful feature in the next 5-10 years.

gerald deus I see what you did there

Haha that’s awesome thanks brother

Jeff Juhasz which one?

the Milwaukee 2734-21HD

Canon 80D

lol I wish....I've some of these lights for over a year

George swears they are bad to the bone.

Was wondering the same thing, since that's several grand worth of lights, most looking new.

I would also like to know if this is a paid placement.

He already said in the beginning of the video that it isn't sponsored and if it was then he would have to by law tell us in the video otherwise he can face fines and maybe even criminal charges.

He said it’s not a paid sponsorship. I’m assuming they all look relatively new because if you are dropping that much coin you want to keep them in good shape. Also, it’s not like he is a plumber or a concrete finisher where your tools take more abuse and get dirtier. He builds post frames. If you’ve watched any of his stories or videos he says he doesn’t work in the rain because he invested too much in the tools to just ruin them by getting them wet. Take the hate over to John malecki’s page where it seems he gets everything for free.

Never enough

Robert Kressa II ESP bud

We are not alone...

Kevin yes...yes they are... but man they are sweet

@@RRBuildings They definitely are. One would have to spend a good amount of time working in the dark to justify buying those. Definitely easier than using a generator to power lights.

You pay for what you get, just saying

@@KevinMBean Well, when you gut a house and the lights and wires are gone, it is nice to be able to see what you are doing, even if the Sun is up. Not enough light will come into the house, especially the bathrooms and closets or hallways. And when you are putting insulation in the walls or attic, lights come in handy, as well as when hanging rock, taping/floating and of course painting. Let's not forget about the electricians trying to install the outlets, switches and fixtures, they need light to be able to see. I can go on and on about the different tradesmen that need light to be able to do their job properly, even in the daytime. Same goes for commercial buildings. So yeah, we do spend a lot of time working in the dark to justify spending money on quality lights. Can we string a cord or ten across the house? Sure we can, but then your roll out time and roll up time is longer, and less time for actual production. And if there isn't any power, or only a few outlets in the garage, cords are actually a safety hazard. So, as a GC or SC, you are able to justify spending money on tools/equipment and are able to write it off on tools/assets category on your taxes.

I had two of the 7 foot octagonal rocket lights exact same model as he has out off grid in extreme rain totally exposed for hours and hours on end. One finally flashed out.................once dried out it flashed right back up and no problems since.

*Have* , taking them in this Fall for the 12.0 refit.

love tools man

was wondering the same thing!

Yes, they do.

Some models do, some don't. If they do, then the product name will be "... Light/Charger". For example, the Rocket 2135 and 2136 lights have chargers in the bases, while the 2130, 2131, and 2132 (M12) don't. The large Radius light, 2150-20, has a charger, but the compact versions don't. Models with chargers tend to go for $300+ and all to date have been slow chargers (~3A, so 2 hours for an XC6.0, 4 hours for an HD12.0, etc). Slow charging is better for battery health and is easier to design around since it produces less waste heat.

I personally never had any problems with Milwaukee lights or tools. You get what you pay for at the end. My oldest Milwaukee tool is about 10 years old and its running like the day I purchased it (m18 Hammer drill).

He runs his own business so if these lights allow him to work longer days during the winter time then they will pay for themselves in no time.

Because you get what you pay for. Not to mention that many other large work lights like these are also in the similar price range. Or you can always buy the safety lights and go through the hassle of trying to string them up, hope there is electricity in the house/site, or if you are on a remote location, take a generator or really long cord etc.

Jeremiah Mckenna Thank you. I might consider buying Milwaukee.

@@JayZoop i can justify spending more money on a cordless light because it will save a lot of roll out and roll up time, which gives me more time actually working and producing. If I can simply walk in, set it down and flip a switch vs., walk in, look for an outlet, find another one that actually works, string out another ext. cord, plug in the light/s, then get to work, it makes more sense. Plus I can now move the light to another room a lot easier, and don't have to worry about tripping over cords or cutting/damaging them and possibly getting bit by the cord when moving it around. It is safety on top of convenience and productivity.

MrToolean lol

by law he has to say if it is sponsored or not, so you bet he did pay for those lights

Yeah, those are great for smaller areas, or if you have a few of them to light up the room. But I can tell you that even though they are branded Hyper Tough, I have dropped one from a rafter and it broke on impact. I had another one that I tripped over, and the next day when I turned it on, it did not work. I have used Milwaukee lights, and they are a lot more durable. Was on a job where a scaffolding fell over on a Rocket, and it continued to work while we lifted the debris off of it, and the only damage was one of the sections of the stand were bent. Took it to Northern Tool and it was repaired and back on the site in a day.

Jeremiah Mckenna uhhhh no lmao. They easily light up just as much as any other light.

@@Taylormade2350 Like I said, I have used some of them in my arsenal on several different jobs sites. They are decent if you only want to light up a specific area, but if you want to light up an entire room, you would need to have six or seven of them in order to have bright light in all directions so that everyone can see what they are doing, or so that you can move around the walls without having to stop what you are doing and move the light as you move around the walls etc. They also don't hold up to the every day use, borderline abuse as well as these do. As I said, I have broken them by simple incidents. I would use one of them when I am working under a car, or if I need a lot of direct light on a fender or something like that though, because normally a shop setting isn't as detrimental to tools as a job site can be. another thing I noticed is the temperature of the light between the lower costing lights and the higher priced lights. The lower cost lights tend to make my eyes fatigued a little faster by comparison. But that may be me, I'm not sure. Sort of like buying a lower costing driving or off road light that both have the same CP / Lumen rating, but the name brand lights are a little better.

All the time................it pays for itself with work output.
