Would RecommendBest ever headlamp created -- USB rechargeable, long lasting battery, super bright
Like many others here, it was good for maybe 3 uses. Won't recharge. When I plug it in to charge the light comes on and flashes like a strobe light but won't turn on to use. Very disappointed.

Would Not RecommendHad headlamp about 4 years. On off switch broke. On charger more than being in use

Charging stopped working
Would Not RecommendNice headlamp if not used often. Probably used it once a month for almost a year. I plugged it in to charge a couple hours ago to find out it won’t charge.

We love this headlamp
Would RecommendI've had this headlamp for a couple years and absolutely love that it is rechargeable with the cord attached. We're trying to buy another and they look to be discontinued which makes my husband and I very sad. In reading these reviews I'm wondering if the manufacturer cut some corners and now they aren't good anymore. Craftsman y'all need to up your standards and start selling these again. This is a great headlamp!

Charging wire and battery issues
Would RecommendExcept for the charging wire this is an excellent headlamp. It is the brightest light I could find without a battery pack on the back on the head. If you can get it fully charged, then the light is awesome. Also the strap does not last it stretches out pretty fast. but is adjustable.

Poor performance
Would Not RecommendI bought this light and loved it. The 2nd time I had to charge it soon as I plugged it in both red lights began to flash. It hasn't stopped flashing and it isn't charging. Now I am wishing I would have paid a little more and bought one with a warranty. I thought by it being a craftsman it would have been a better light.

Great Light!
Would RecommendOwned this product for almost 4 years. Beat my neighbor's expensive Dewalt hands down! Definately brighter! The CHEAPEST and best RECHARGABLE headlamp out there, PERIOD! I've bought five, 2 for me and 3 for gifts. All the gift holders, after 2 years, still rave about the longevity and the brightness on this lamp...and at almost half the cost of any other RECHARGABLE headlamp out there. I'm sorry for the people who happen to get a lemon and are giving this item a poor review. I think Crafts...
Doesn't Last Very Long
Would Not RecommendVery surprised at life of this lamp. Not sure how long I've had it, but probably less than a couple of years. Don't use it that much, but it just quit after having it on about 10 minutes. Now it won't charge - just dead. Based on my experience, I would not recommend it.

Great Lamp, HORRIBLE head band
Would RecommendI have three (3) of these lamps, and I love the light they provide. However, the bands on them are horrendous, and all three bands have failed. The rubber that gives them their elasticity is composed of dozens of tiny little rubberband-like "threads" that eventually break (see photos) leaving the band permanently stretched so the lamp won't stay on my head or anyone else's head. I would still recommend the lamp, but be prepared for the headband to fail rather quickly. Otherwise, I'd give the...

2 months old - will no longer charge
Would Not RecommendAs with others, I should have read the reviews before I purchased. I trusted the Craftsman name. Purchased 2 months ago. Fully charged twice. Second charge, my use time was dramatically reduced from the first. Now, attempting to charge for the 3rd time, headset will not charge at all. Will be returned to Lowes

Love this for my job
Would RecommendI love this head lamp for my job. Only problem is that where the charger attaches to the head lamp, is broken down so now I can’t charge it and would have to replace the whole lamp. What can craftsman do to help?
From craftsman.com
Better than some alternatives
Would Recommendcharge cord attached. Bright enough, but only a spot, not a wide angle.
This is trash
Would Not RecommendUsed this lamp a couple times. Now it won’t charge at all. Absolute waste of money. The craftsman brand has gone way down hill. Sad. Save your money and choose something else.
