Klein Tools Rechargeable LED 1000 Lumens Flashlight

I bought this light for the work I do as a high voltage electrician for a major utility. I've been using it for about a year so far and it is held up pretty well. Here are the pros and cons for me. Pros -Bright enough to illuminate overhead lines/equipment in substations -Multiple brightness settings with flood, spot, red LEDs. Can use spot and flood in combination. -Strong magnetic tail cap will hold the light in any position -Robust build quality (except for pocket clip) more later. -USB-C charging not Micro USB (looking at you Milwaukee). Cons -The spot could be a better spot, it's more of a flood. -The pocket clip is easily bent, it should be made of better quality spring steel. -Battery isn't user swappable so when it dies you are down a light. This limits use/run time since you can't have 2 batteries, one charging and one in light. -Poor battery choice and capacity. Klein uses a low capacity 2600mAh 18650 Li-ion when the light is the size of most 21700 cell flashlights. However if you don't mind taking the old battery out Olight makes a 3500mAh 18650 that works with the light. Overall a good light that with a couple changes could be a great light.

I bought this last Friday and have become familiar enough with it to write a review. The light is very bright but as another reviewer said theres no way to focus the beam. Its heavy for the kind of work I do. The flashlight has a very solid, quality feel to it, and the magnetic bottom has already proven to be helpful. Overall its a good light and the fact that it`s rechargable is a definate plus. I just can`t get past the beam though. Its not focusable and that was a major oversight that I wouldn`t expect from Klein
