- Does it come with a battery?
- No. It is sold as a bare tool, so you need a Makita 18V LXT battery and charger, or the outlet adapter.
- Can I run it plugged into a wall outlet?
- Yes. The external power connector accepts an adapter for 12-230V outlets, so it works without a battery.
- How bright is it?
- Up to 1200 lumens at maximum setting, with lower settings for longer runtime.
- Will the magnets hold on any surface?
- Only on ferrous metal such as steel beams and truck bodies. It will not stick to aluminum, wood or plastic.
- Which batteries fit?
- Any Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion pack. Larger packs give longer runtime.
- Is it good for a mechanic's shop?
- Yes for close work under a hood or chassis. For lighting a whole bay, a corded floodlight is stronger.
- Where is the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion LED Magnetic Work Light cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $99.00, as of our latest check.
