MAKITA BML801 14.4 / 18 VOLT LITHIUM ION LED PIVOT HEAD TORCH LIGHT (BARE UNIT) | eBay

Anyone got one of these? I feel as though I have to have it even though I have the older tube. Is it brighter and longer lasting??, the top bulb on my tube went ages ago but I don't miss it. Suppose would be handy to have two lights in a dark loft.

How do you work in lofts kyle? you want something quick and cordless hanging over the tank, a handful of mini maglites and an iphone is surely hard work?

LED Lenser is my weapon of choice TBH.
Focussable and dimmable, £30 well spent imo.

Is this the makita head torch? Wouldn't like to slog around a dirty great 18v battery on my head, also at £75 body only its a bit expensive. I'm not interested in the generic rebadged £3.99 screwdriver set that comes with it.

Does this come with a light sabre?

At that price I hope so!

One of these wrapped round your neck is very good for quick jobs, balvalves etc Rolson 24 LED Flexi Snake Light

I have the bosch vari led and its excellent,lights the whole room & lasts easily all day on 1 bat,so I'm sure this is the same type there well worth the money

i have a few different makes of led lights that work off my tools, ten times better than the older torches you used to get.

Cheap head torch and maglite in mouth sometimes.

Dropped one of mini maglites in a bucket of water and it was there for 5 mins still beaming away. Fished it out and it worked just fine.

Are makita torches waterproof for hanging over loft tank. I wouldn't want to find out at their price!!

I dropped mine in a header tank 2 weeks ago but fished it out before it touched the bottom. Still works fine.
