Bloke at work bought one of them lamps, we all eagerly waited until he plugged the battery in, then we all smiled politely and walked away, not seen him use it since!Power tool mate also has a 15% sale so like anything, shop around.
I'm buying one of these 18V worklights will be handy to run it off the 18V batteries I already have lots of and sit stable below cars etc.

Dull as ditchwater.What was wrong with it?
Sounds ideal for welding...my DeWalt lamp lights up like the sun...the bloomin reflection triggers the welding mask which is very annoying!Dull as ditchwater.
Ask any UK mechanic what they think of Snap On cordless tools, and you will find their opinion is the exact opposite of yours.I would only use their heavy impact nut busters, however their quality is bad compared to the likes of snap on or facom or Chicago pneumatic ! I have about 10 broken 9Ah batteries with cracked Carcases and 2x drill/drivers: one is draining the batteries rendering them unusable and the other (both brushless) is not sensing the trigger anymore !
Strangely the 3/4” impact drill works as well as when I bought it 7 years ago but looks like it belongs in a skip !
To me they are not heavy duty enough , cheap and built to do the job !
It's a shame that sgs still seem cheapest on what I'm after.
A shame as I won't buy from them again l, given the troubles I've had there in the past!
What has been the issue with SGS?
I had a lot of stuff off them with no problems
Most retailers can be fine until there is an issue. How they deal with issues sorts the wheat from the chaff.
I went to Milwaukee from Snap-on for battery tools and can't see me going back personally.
Milwaukee did have a problem with their redesigned M18 battery guns but have replaced all of them under warranty (reverted back to the original design) so can't say fairer than that.
You haven't answered his question though.
Would you like me to forward you all the emails?
