Makita DML806 18V LXT Cordless LED Lantern/Flashlight Tool Review

The Makita DML806 18V LXT Cordless LED Lantern/Flashlight Tool offers three different lighting modes: 360Degree lantern, 180Degree lantern, and flashlight modes. The 360Degree lantern mode provides a whopping 620 lumens, while the 180Degree lantern mode is still bright at 310 lumens. The flashlight mode offers 90 lumens, making it a great option for finding things in the dark.

The 180Degree-360Degree lantern lighting is perfect for those who need to select between illuminating an entire work area or a specific task. This feature is especially useful for those who like to work in the garage or like to spend time outdoors on camping trips. With up to 21 hours of continuous illumination in the 180Degree lantern mode and up to 59 hours of continuous illumination in flashlight mode with a 5.0Ah LXT battery (sold separately), you can easily complete your projects without worrying about running out of illumination too soon.

The Makita DML806 also offers impressive durability. Users rave about its ability to withstand being dropped and banged around without losing functionality. Additionally, it's lightweight, portable, and easy to use with a comfortable grip.

Another great feature of the DML806 is its versatility as a lantern and flashlight. It's perfect for working under the hood, camping trips, power outages, and more. The compact design and hook make it easy to hang from a tent, tree, or even your car.

One downside to this product is that the flashlight mode is not as bright as some users may prefer. However, this is not a significant reduction in illumination compared to the lantern modes, meaning it provides ample light for most situations.

Overall, the Makita DML806 18V LXT Cordless LED Lantern/Flashlight Tool is a highly versatile, durable, and convenient lighting solution for any task. Whether you are working on a car, camping, or experiencing a power outage, this tool will provide the illumination you need and last for hours.
