Tools and Hardware Reviews of Makita ML140 14.4-Volt Pivoting HeadFlashlight

Customer Review: A little flimsy, but still does what it's supposed to do.
Summary: 4 Stars

I just worry that someday the head will snap off, or become loose on it's detents. It creaks and squeaks when you try to adjust it. I also wish that Makita made an LED conversion for this light, as it would make the battery last at least three times as long.

On the plus side, the switch feels reliable, and is thankfully not a plastic slide-type, but is instead the rubberized push-button type with a distinct "click," similar to the type you get on a D-cell Maglite. The bottom-heavy light stands up reliably to light up ceiling or under-desk jobs (installing CPU holders), and would also light up a night-time tire change (if you happened to have your toolbox in the car).

All in all, it does what it's supposed to do, but feels like it should cost half what it does. It feels like it's made in a Harbor Freight Tools factory with little quality control. It's still working, though.

Description of Makita ML140 14.4-Volt Pivoting HeadFlashlight

    ML140

    14.4 Cordless Flashlight

    Comes with bulb and carrying strap, no battery included.


This Makita 14.4-Volt Flashlight has a handy 4-position head so you can shine straight or angle the light (rather than your elbow) for those awkward jobs. Set the light on 0, 45, 90, or 110 degrees. The POD-shaped handle means the light won't slip out of your hands. This light also uses the same battery and charger (both sold separately) as other 14.4-volt Makita tools. The battery gives you 160 minutes of continuous use on a single charge. It's also compact at less than 11 inches long and, weighing just over a half pound, it won't wear out your wrist. Plus, years down the road when that first bulb finally burns out, you'll just pull the extra bulb (included) from its convenient location in the head of the flashlight and save the day.
