Dam I love this light! I can’t find a single negative thing to say about it. Do you have one?

One of the guys at work has one. Jimbo has one, they are very nice indeed!

Been my primary work light since it came out. Love it.

I’ve been putting off buying this unit for ages and I’m not sure why, it just seems ridiculously versatile. This and the M12 rover would likely cover all my needs without needing the stand light or high power flood. Thanks for the video Dwain!

I love this light Dwain, the only negative I have is on the EMT holder, I wish you could push it all the way through and not just on the end of it, but that is such a nit pick its not even funny. I love all 3 buttons turn the light on and can stand up, angle up down whatever you need, all in a easy grab handle. An plug like the ryobi light would be cool too

cheers guys! Its a great tool that you could never regret buying.

 

Jimbo, what on earth is an EMT holder??

You can hold the light up using EMT/conduit Dwain mostly used here in the usa in basements and commercial work. Yourelectrical is different over there in Australia. Here is a photo of it in action 🙂

yep! I just found some 20mm solid round bar in my shed, but it’s just a bit too tight. must need 19mm / 3/4″.

 

I’ll be getting some soon, very handy for setting up anywhere!

 

EDIT: R16 rebar might do the trick too. I can get offcuts of that that free from my job sites…

I have EMT with me everywhere I go, but can not say that actually doing that has ever crossed my mind, even knowing it was an option. What’s holding the EMT vertical?

You could have a piece of ply/mdf with an EMT sized hole in the middle, to act as a base. Though I’m sure there are more elegant solutions.

For outside cut the conduit at a steep angle and hammer it flat for a nice spike you can stick in the ground.

 

There are some other fun uses for pointy pieces of conduit too 😉
