Bargain at the price.

Very pleased with the LED light.
Ok , its not as bright as it could have been, but is plenty good enough.
The great thing is that I always have my Makita 18v drill, impact driver and portable compressor in my vehicle with two charged batteries so its always there if needed and no flat AA batteries.
Bit of a bargain really as you get Makita quality at a very reasonable price.
Straps a bit useless with 5AH battery as too big and heavy to strap to your wrist, but you can place it on a surface without it rolling away, great for roof spaces I have found.

Not bad

Not a bad light its good that you can use your drill batteries the only down side is how narrow the light hotspot is, i have a small hand touch with 1 led and it has wider light hotspot than this and this has 6 ledsRead full review...

Top torch

Top product as you would expect from such a trusted brand. Only used on my 1.5h battery so far, but has provided 30 nibs of constant light considering the price, you need one if these......

useful addition to tool box

a genuine makita product, at a very reasonable price. not too bright as it only has 6 leds, it will last a long while on a small battery. only fits BL seris batteries, not BL-G. so not all of the lithium series batteries. Read full review...

DML 186 Torch.

Very useful torch design. Not the brightest. The Velcro strap allows me to use it attached to my wrist, to concentrate the light beam from behind the tool onto the work. For a flood lit area, use a DML 808. Now that is a light. At this price, there are no complaints. I have a couple round the house and in my car. Good value. Must stress, don’t expect a parabolic reflector searchlight!Read full review...

simply love it

I bought this item and was so very pleased with it that I bought another. It can strap onto your arm to allow full freedom of movement, I do not have to worry about batteries going flat and find it a useful addition to my equipment. I could even use it on my pushbike...Read full review...

good bright light

good bright light . sits well for use but I don't like the strap which seems to me to be of little use. Otherwise a great product

Makita DML 186 18v torch body, what a disappointment !

I have been a loyal user of Makita power tools, over a 40+ years period I have amassed a varied and extensive Makita power tool collection, I have at all times been happy with the reliability, quality and customer service. The DML 186 18v torch body is really disappointing the light output is really dull and lacks power, I thought that the Makita 18v battery attached to a Makita torch would have been an impressive combination, sadly not so. I would not recommend this Makita item to anyone! Read full review...

Makit DML186Z

The flash light is well built and very nice in shape as is just becomes part of the battery but saying this is not very bright. And it's got only one mode and only one intensity of light which is not bright.
It's only useful as a spot lighting on one focused area of 700 mm circle.
Price wise not really cheap as you can buy a nebo larry 2 which is much better and cheaper. And just have three AA cells to replace.
