  • Saw this mag light on ‪@CaseyLaDelle‬ 's channel and decided to pick one up. Ended up finding a better solution though!

    Harbor freight makes an amazing magnetic led that looks simalar to the snap on one. Charges type c and the magnetic part is pretty strong. I actually dropped one of my boat in the Salem River in NJ one night fishing and it stayed on in the water till I dropped my anchor on it and was able to retrieve it about 5 minutes later and it still works to this day no problem. Can get them on sale for only 25. They make a bigger one as well for 50.

    Hey Chris, love your videos. I have a request if possible.
    Please put links to all the different channels you have and maybe Jens as well in the info section included with every video.
    You would get many more views if people didn't have to search for them.
    Keep up the good work and have a great New Year.

    Hello Chris and Gen, I have a magnetic one from Hyper Tough that works well for what I use it for. They are a great idea. I hope that all is good for you and Jen! 👍

    Hey Chris, I did the exact same thing. You really have to watch out for it killing batteries, if you fully deplete a pack it can put the cells out of balance and even jumping it with a good m18 battery won't fix it. All of the actual milwaukee lights have a low voltage protection in them to prevent it from happening.

      @nnkhmisc  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Oh interesting! I didn't even think about that. Thanks for the info

    • @iguanamoat
      @iguanamoat 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@nnkhmisc To add to what he said, the battery monitors the voltage of each cell, while the tool itself does the switching, so the protection will only work with both the battery and tool connected. You can add another, separate low voltage cutoff to replace it, which is what the aftermarket M18 light you bought does, so technically you are protected - but since it only measures the whole pack voltage rather than communicating (through Milwaukee's proprietary signaling) with the battery to find out the voltage of each individual cell, an individual cell can still dip below the minimum even with this whole-pack voltage protection in place. This is made worse because Milwaukee's battery balancing circuitry has been found to be underpowered, especially with certain batteries (the 9AH for example), so once a cell becomes unbalanced to enough of a degree, the balancing circuit has a hard time correcting it during the charging process. A lot of Milwaukee batteries seem to fail in this way, even when they are used on Milwaukee tools.

    If you don't plan on using the usb feature its better to gut the circuit board or cut the traces to the 5v converter to save your batteries. The usb charger is always on, it depleated my battery when left connected. Besides that its a good value, also if one wants the light can be swapped out with pretty much any 12-24v automotive light for more output if desired.

    Hey Chris, I got the red one for the Milwaukee, used it for a couple minutes and let it sit on my bench for a week attached to a battery......the next time I went to use it my fully charged 5.0 battery was completely dead.

    • @nnkhmisc

      Yep, anything not made by Milwaukee will allow the battery to go lower than the charger will charge. I’ve had to “jump “ mine a few times when I forget!

    Great video.We have had the Grote for 7 years.Battery still going strong.Use it to take our GS out to do her business almost every day( less use in the summer time of course as it’s light out till 10pm.) We live on an acreage in the foothills of Alberta.Lots of cougars and bears in our area and it lights up a large area so we can see what’s around.Also use it to check on the horses at night.We don’t use the magnet or charge anything with it but it does work well as a work light just set on the ground,fairly stable.I will try the Amazon one out though as I have a gazillion Milwaukee tools.
