I love their accessories most of all. Such as the fan or chemical sprayer, but just like the fan, the hooks seem very underwhelming. I only see one great way of testing to see if it is metal re-enforced, but I don’t want not be able to use it afterwards ;D
That light is the best grill light I have ever used. Bright, stays at the angle I want it, and useful elsewhere.
I have several of the ryobi 18v and have been very happy with them.
Grilling, I am liking where you are going with this
Love this light. Use it while working around the car and have taken it out camping. Provides ample lighting and the hinged 50/50 split allows you to wrap the light where you need it. The battery contact terminals were pretty lose on mine, but nothing a finger and a tad bit of prying couldn’t fix. I do wish the Power button had more feed back/feel and resistance. Doesn’t take much to turn it on/off or change light modes by accident.
Nice feedback and thanks for sharing
Hi Eric. Great review. I’ve been thinking about grabbing one of these as a bare tool, but I only have a couple of Ryobi’s Ni-Cd batteries. I know One+ makes all Ryobi batteries backward compatible, but I was wondering if you’d tested this light with an old Ni-Cd and how long it would last on a charge. Thanks!
We haven’t tested it with NiCad as I don’t have any. It’s not going to last as long but with the holidays coming up, I am sure you can pick up a Lithium battery one sale. I was just using this light this weekend to look in my sump pit. Great light.
