GEARWRENCH 2000 Lumens Rechargeable Shop Light

Great small portable ligh. Use as a spotlight and then different levels of flood light. Having it magnetic arm hold it for you is great

As a diesel mechanic, I can appreciate a good light. Using this light for a while now has shown it strength and weakness. The strengths are as follows: Great light output, great flood light distribution, the spot light function is very useful. Having both a spot and flood light in one makes it my primary choice out of several in my toolbox. The shortcomings: I would like to see a larger capacity battery in this light even if the size gets bigger, I would prefer smooth angle adjustment instead of detents, and that you can't use the light while it's plugged into a charger. My biggest complaints to gear wrench is why do you not offer a hood bar for these lights. It is essential for newer vehicles as they are made more and more from aluminum making the magnet useless. Please develop one. I had to go and purchase the ICON hood bar, which works well with this light.

This Gearwrench light provides a significant amount of light in a small form factor. The magnetic base and 1/4”x20 thread (typical tripod thread) allows you to mount the light in a wide range of positions. The light can rotate 180 degrees in the base via 7 detect positions at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 degrees. I wish the light had more range and the rotation was free without the detects. It is not possible to shine towards the surface it is mounted to because of the mechanical limit. Not much of an issue since you can often just mount off a different surface to get the light where you want it but worth mentioning. The flood light is quite wide and great for general illumination. With the three brightnesses at 500, 1000 and 2000 lumens you can get just the right amount of light you need. Overall this is a great small sized light that packs a lot of punch.

One thing everyone needs is a good light. Whether you're working under the hood of a vehicle, in your garage, on the side of the highway with a flat tire, or even if the power goes out, we can all agree a light is an essential part of our everyday lives. Cordless lighting has come along ways as far as runtime and features are concerned. When I received the gearwrench 2000 max lumen portable light I was expecting something different. First thing out of the box that got my attention was the weight. It has some weight to it. Its not heavy by any means, just feels like something of quality construction. The shape and size also make it comfortable to grasp in my hand. The light rotates around and has a magnetic base so you can either attach it something metal or prop it up to suit your needs. The outer shell is wrapped in and thick rubber which protects against impacts and does good job of adding grip if your hands are oily or covered in grease. That same rubber shell cleans up easily and feels like the material on most power tools. The size is nice and compact so its really handy in just about any spot. As far as lighting this little light has four levels of brightness and different patterns for how the light is put out. They are indicated with green a LED's and are easily changed with the press of a button. First setting is a throw mode at 450 lumen and it reaches out pretty far. The next three modes go from 500 to 1000 and all the way up to 2000 lumen. Each of these are in a flood pattern. Most of the time I've just used it on 500lm to get the longer runtime. Speaking of runtime it can be used for a full workday. I haven't ran the battery out while working with it yet. I use it and plug it in at the end of the day that way I always know its ready when I need it. The thing I like like most about this handy little light is its size, the long runtime, the quality construction with the rotating magnetic base, and the usbc type charging. Keeping the product simple in design with the common type charging makes this a five star review. I would recommend this light to professionals and home owners alike. It truly feels durable and reliable. Ive used it for several weeks getting it covered in oils, grease and dirt. Its been put to the test in below freezing temperatures and it hasnt had a hiccup. If there was anything that id change or ad it would be a fold out hook. If you really needed a hook a simple ziptie through the hole in the base would provide the same feature. Overall I'm thoroughly impressed.
