Same Issue, Wont Charge

Would Not Recommend

I received two of these for our household and was excited about them, great quality and great build with a trusted name, but, like everyone else I'm seeing- after the initial use and one maybe two recharges neither will respond to charging anymore.

switch always stops working

Would Not Recommend

I love the fact that I don't have to constantly buy batteries because I use a flashlight daily and batteries can become very expensive, but I've purchased three of these flashlights and every one of them has the same issue. The switch eventually stops working correctly after maybe two months of use

not a quality product

Would Not Recommend

I was excited when i bought this flashlight and decided to buy to because of the features. One failed to work after a couple of charges so i returned it. Then the other one started to do the same. The black silcone rubber seals are not good. Would not recomend.

I was very pleased with this I got recently for my birthday, thinking it's the perfect size, bright light, backup charger keeping in my truck, but it hasn't responded to charging whatsoever, so I'm very disappointed, especially as a lifelong buyer / user of Craftsman products

Craftsman used to mean quality

Would Not Recommend

I had hoped that this would be a great rechargeable flashlight but was very disappointed with it. The light was so inconsistent when charging that I've had to start carrying my Milwaukee rechargeable in my toolbox. I definitely would not recommend this flashlight.

Bought this a little than a year ago. Barely use it, only use it as a backup. It’s already broke. And it doesn’t come with any warranty. Always love craftsman till I bought this flashlight. Made of cheap thin material.
