COAST PM100R 180-Degree Rotating Worklight with Magnetic Base, Black/Red

This thing is just way too awesome for the price. The hook is amazing, the magnet is game changing, and the lights are super bright. Extremely convenient. Recently used it behind the drywall in my master bedroom, used the magnet to attach the light to the chimney flue, forgot to turn it off, found it still going full bore in the morning. Super easy to recharge as well. Love it!

Some products just feel right for what they are designed to do when you pick them up. This is one of those product. Then when it does its job a well as this one--it is really great.

If used as a nite light the unit puts out tons of light, but the buttons to operate it are hard to id in the dark. I glued a small plastic bump to one of them. Now it's much easier to use. My opinion - Very easy to fix during manufacturing.

Love the fact that this flashlight is all I really need for work. Others at work have complemented on how good it is. Versatile, rechargable and awesome battery life. Will be buying another as a gift.

I really like this light. A perfect test case came right after we received it; some construction work around the house killed the light to the dining room. Luckily, it was just the dining room and nothing severe the wiring that caused it; the perfect opportunity to put this light through its paces. More about this light.* Bright. The area light has 3 output settings and at highest the little light was enough to light up our small dining room.* Output settings. 3 flashlight settings and 3 are light settings get you as much or as little light as you need.* Rechargeable. USB-C rechargeable with cable included. Also has a 4 light power meter on back near USB plug. Plug has rubber cap to weather seal it.* Magnetic adjustable hook for mounting flexibility. Use the hook as a hook or flat or angled against metal with the magnetic base.* Compact. There are smaller flashlights but the light output for a ~6inch long flashlight is pretty good in my opinion.* Edges have a ruler. One side in inches, the other in centimeters. Odd, but it's there and possibly useful if you use it as an EDC flashlight and forget your tape/ruler.* If I had a gripe, it would be that I didn't get rated life at highest power with the area light. I found it needed a recharge after a weekend breakfast (which tended to go longer than a couple hours as everyone eats at different times but not the full (almost) 4 hours it is rated for.All in all, I'm really happy to have this little light. It's great in a pinch for a power outage, or a camping trip, or a run out to the shed after dark. The rechargeable feature lets me forget about forgetting to change batteries and having them explode in the light, and the compactness lets me keep it handy in a drawer or cabinet. Do I wish it lasted a bit longer? Yes, but it'll get me through most of my use cases outside a prolonged power outage.

There are many lights of this form factor, but I know of none which are more versatile in power and distribution of light. The combination of flood/area light and spot/flash light is common, but of the many units I am familiar with, none have executed it better. The flood light (actually two strips of lights) has exceptionally broad and uniform light dispersion. The flood light levels range from just right to see into the back of kitchen cabinets to literally blinding. The spot light (again, made up of two side by side lights) also has three levels, actuating one, or the other, or both side by side lights at once.It will lay flat on its backside, or propped up at three more vertical angles using the hook for a base. On a flat surface, this is fairly stable--an uneven surface will be problematic. The hook is the only significant design failure, IMO. There is enough radius to hook over a finger or smaller, but it is not large enough to hook over almost all closet poles. Furthermore, it does not extend even to the width of the body, preventing the light from hanging from the edge of a shelf. Finally, the hook as no ability to rotate, limiting the light to a single plane when used. Integrated into the base of the hook is an integral magnet which is of only modest power. Overall, the hook is the weakest part of the lights design.One of the features that is not common to many lights of this type, is the ability to have pass through current when charging. This allows the light to be used continuously if a USB C charging cable it attached to both the light and a charging outlet.Overall, an excellent value in a very versatile and high output light, but consider its limitations when determining if a purchase is right for you.

I did a video on this little light’s usefulness, but Amazon rejected the review so I’m going to have to write the key points here…Work lights at this point are commodities. You buy one for $9.99 at the grocery store. So to rise above the crowd there needs to be something innovative and special about the light. This light rises above for several reasons.1) It has two useful light forms—a room-filling glow which goes from dim to really bright from the wide LED on the side of the light and a pair of focused light beams on the end.2) The stand/hanger/hook pulls out to enable a variety of useful ways of getting the light where you need it. You can hang it via the hook, you can stand it on a surface using the flat side of the hook as a stand and you can attach it to ferrous metal via a magnet embedded in the hook/stand.3) The size is the really stellar part of this light. You can throw it in your pocket and carry it with you. It gives out big light, but the light itself isn’t big.Gives hours of light from a rechargeable internal battery and comes with a USB-C to USB-A charging cord, but no power adapter. Any USB-C capable cord will charge the light.
