Would RecommendBought this rechargeable for several people. It is a very bright light and recharges easily. One of my sons ran over his with his SUV without any damage. This is a great product.

This flashlight gets hot!
Would RecommendGood product, very bright light. However, after a few minutes, the base of the flashlight gets uncomfortably hot. This is my first experience with a lithium battery device, so I don't know if this is normal or if I have a defective product.If anybody has the reason/answer for this, please post it here.
Short Life for the price
Would Not RecommendAfter a little more than a year and actually using the flashlight twice, it quit charging, then went completely dead. Naturally, this was just past the one year warranty period. The battery is still good; the electronics inside is what malfunctioned. I'm am still looking to find replacement circuit boards.
ALWAYS READY
Would RecommendI have had this for about a year and it has served me well. I have had to use this many times when refuelling my generators and tractor. Being able to recharge it and have it ready to go anytime and anywhere is crucial for me. I always seem to need a reliable bright light at the most inopportune times. The only thing I didn't like was the short charging cable. I invested in a couple of long cables and extra wall chargers to make sure I have a charging apparatus available.
great light, I have 3 now.
Received one as a gift. High is very bright, reflector focuses the beam well for seeing long distance. Low is good for close work where you don't want to be blinded by reflected light. Has a strobe but I don't use it. I live out on 20 acres where seeing a long way with clarity can be critical at times, I liked this so much I bought 2 more to have them handy around the house.
Gets Really Hot
Would Not RecommendI received this for my birthday. It got really hot and stopped working. Returned it, got another. Still gets hot but it shines VERY BRIGHT. I would not recommend this flashlight to anyone who needs to have it on for a long period of time. IT WILL GET VERY HOT AND POSSIBLY BURN YOU.
wont turn on
Would Not RecommendHas been charging for over 24hrs- no light, no indicator flashing,nothing. have tried various power sources, its just dead on arrival. returning ASAP
Battery charges but light does not function
Would Not Recommendhave had this light a year. 5 months ago the light failed. The battery is holding a charge, so must assume it is a switch, led bulb or circuit issue. Very disappointing since I was really impressed with the brightness of the flashlight initially.

Much better than I expected
Would RecommendBought this on a whim while walking thru Lowes. I'm a flashlight geek and can't help myself sometimes. I'm also a flashlight snob and almost immediately regretted buying the light. Charged it up and took it outside and ....Wow ! Changed my mind very quickly. The light has a lot more 'throw' than most 500 lumen flashlights and I own a bunch of them. I plan to purchase another one !!
Bright focus light
Would RecommendI bought the Craftman LED 0319 flashlight to replace a failing slightly bigger 2 year old LED flashlight using standard AA batteries. Followed charging instructions and have used extensively the past two weeks while working in the attic and watching my small dogs while they took a break in the back yard each night. The bright light surprised me when I was watching the dogs in the back yard. I could clearly see 80 to 100 feet easily. The light was both focused as well as covering a large are...

Three years use. No problems. Best flashlight ever.
craftsman rechargeable flashlight
Would RecommendReally like this flash light I use it up in the barn every morning it's dark when I feed and this gives off good light in the stalls, very important when dealing with large animals, one suggestion, if it had some way I could place it so that it didn't roll as I put it down would be a really big help, maybe more of a ridge around the head.

A spotlight that fits in your coat pocket.
Would RecommendAfter decades of keeping my spotlight on a shelf and using it only when there is a dear in the yard, I now have a flashlight sized spotlight that I can carry in the pocket of my coat. I use it weekly and am very pleased. This replaces my Mag light at 1/4 the size and is much brighter. WARNING: The recharge cable that comes with this looks standard but is not. I have dozens and dozens of USB cables so I did not pay close attention to the cable that came with it. This is a USB Type-A with no g...

But two at the same time both died in one yearf
Would Not RecommendLights a funny thing when you need it you need it . You depend on it but these flashlights are not dependable . I would go so far to say avoid at all cost . We bought two so my wife could walk our dogs in the backyard at night . Within one year both these flashlights failed to live up to the task . Replaced them with $100 rechargeable streamlight and never looked back . Bottom line is you get what you pay for .
Good light for distance.
Would RecommendJust what I wanted to see for a distance into woods around our house.

Great Product
Would RecommendVery bright, last quite awhile on charge and recharges fairly quick and easy. I live in area w/no lights and this does the job when I am out with the dog.
Christmas gift
Would RecommendI"m giving this a Christmas Gift so can't comment on it at this time. I'm sure it will be just as great as the Stanley one we got a couple years ago.

Sweet rechargable flashlight...
Would RecommendReally bright. Looks to be durable. Have owned it for 1 year and works perfectly. Being able to recharge it saves on batteries. It's nice to keep in the truck when on the road.
