Would RecommendI have tried many different headlamps and this one takes the cake! Brightest and long lasting! It’s great having the charger attached! I actually own 4 now so when I’m out working all night I can rotate them on the charger. The battery lasts a good amount of time I just am for hours on end. Most comfortable and not too heavy I can easily put it in my pocket when not needed I still have my first one that’s 4 years old and still in great shape! I use it nightly in the winter months

Won't hold a charge
Would Not RecommendLight is of good enough quality, except for charging. Fully charge unit, but when I use it, it only lasts about 2 hours. Acts like it drains the battery after a full charge and little use. Love the concept better than my Milwaukee, but Milwaukee battery lasts longer.

Good for 3-4 charges
Would Not RecommendSame as a lot of others on this thread of reviews. It goes to low light after fully charging a few times. It’s scary bc it seems like craftsman and Milwaukee are both going to junk while the store brands are rising to the occasion.

Always Bright, No Replacing Batteries
Would RecommendWorks really well, and I never have to work about batteries. It auto find when the battery gets low, and it charges from any USB port. I have two at work and one at home. At work, when the low battery indication occurs, I simply switch it out with the one I have on the charger. There light will continue to work for more than an hour after the indicator occurs, so since I not these lights, I've never had to work in the dark.
Hinge will fail, very quickly. Then it’s useless.
Would Not RecommendAbsolutely excellent headlamp, charges nicely on any USB port. Worst, poorest hinge construction evah! I’ve had three of these, the hinge failed on the first two, one rusted through the hinge. If you use it, your head will aweat8990p
bad choice
Would Not RecommendI always have been a fan of craftsman items. However this one was a great disappointment. Charged it up and turned it on and after 15 mins the light drop to low setting and would not go back to high setting. I recharged the lamp and only got 10min of light on high then went back to low light. tried recharging when it was done charging the lamp will no longer come on. All this only 1 week after buying. pass on this craftsman has loss their reputation and quality in my book.

500-Lumen LED Rechargeable Headlamp
Would RecommendReally bright, love the USB charger. Bad news, this is my third one, because they only last a year.
% years and still working
Would RecommendI have had this headlamp for 5 years and it is still going strong. I use it daily in the winter months when taking weather gauge readings. The only problem I had now is the plastic clip where the head band is on the lamp is broken. I am still able to use it cautiously. I will be buying another on my next trip to Lowes.

Not living up to the Craftsman name
I bought this because I was tired of buying AAA batteries. It worked great, but only lasted 4 charges. Now I can't get it to charge at all and it's dead. It's not even a month old. Such a shame. I was really impressed with this light compared to my older alkaline battery lights. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because when it worked, it worked great.

Bright adjustable light
Would RecommendWorked perfectly while working on wash machine where I needed 3 hands and a 4th would have been needed to hold a flashlight
2nd Time Sucker
Would Not RecommendThis product dies after 4 or 5 charges. I just returned my second one (both for the same reason). I had high hopes since it was rechargeable. It also is a bit heavy which I could have lived with if it lasted. Not sure how the reviews it still has 4 stars since both of mine performed exactly the same.
