It is awesome. I have the m18 rockets and the only negative to them is the weight and sheer size of the tool when folded. This is super light and compact. I'm working on a way to attach a sling to make it even easier to haul around.
One thing I didn't know it would be useful for is using it like a boom mic.
Fully extend the neck and leave the legs folded, use the handle and hold it as an extension to your arm.
Two of us were working in a small corner and I was able to stand back and hang the light in the perfect spot over their shoulder without standing on top of them.
It really is light, and feels sturdy.
Im glad they put a 120v plug in the bottom as well. This feels like a quality piece and I feel it will out last the m12 platform and batteries for years to come. I'm treating it more as an investment in long term lighting that won't have to be reliant on batteries years from now when something new comes along.
That being said, I still think the M18 Rocket Tower is better than the M12 for several reasons: provides more lumens, more height, more run time (if you have a high capacity 18V 9.0 or 12.0 battery) and it can also charge your batteries if necessary. The downside is that it's more expensive (of course) and almost 10lbs heavier. I recently got in on the M18 Radius Compact light deal b/c I had more use for a portable light system indoors (power outages) and in sheds/garages. These tower lights are really meant for outdoor jobsite type situations (and maybe if you're a photographer?). They also have utility if you're a painter however I think you could still get away with one of the Radius lights for indoor contractor work.

Above comment says it's a $60 return value on the battery. Which one is true?
Just purchased from HD this morning. Return value on battery is $60, light is $90.
FYI my store had no signage about the free battery, but when they scanned both items at the checkout, it automatically added a "DeWalt M12 promo" and credited the $99.00 for the battery. Must be multiple promos going on.
You cannot, when purchased online it's one item, no way to separate them. Just purchase in store, I believe most if not all HDs are running this deal.
Thanks. I bought one last time so I already own it, but I didn't modify it yet so I should be able to just return the whole thing and repurchase then return the battery.
Doresoom says 4 hrs on the 6ah batt, and 3hrs on the 4ah battery that came with your kit. https://youtu.be/gJ2coSRMdTA

The light normally retails for $150, so the free battery is nice. Only thing about this guy is the height is a bit shorter than the m18 version and less lumens. Still very bright.
I saw this when it came out last year and immediately knew I wanted one. I was at an HD store and the Milwaukee rep was there, and I asked about it and any promos? She said (they tend to have cute female Milwaukee reps in my area -- don't know if that is by design but it's a nice feature) that since it was a new model it probably wouldn't get a promo until next year. But now it's next year, and the promo is here. I have plenty of M12 batteries but not this new big one. That will be great and gives me an excuse to buy the light I wanted anyway!
This work light is going to be perfect for the harry homeowner like myself, but I would think that it would be well suited for any home contractor or professional that may need such a light. I could go on and on about this light, but I think Milwaukee and others who have reviewed this light in great detail has already done a pretty decent job. I see myself using this light for so many various purposes around the house inside/outside.
I almost pulled the trigger online, but read the various posts about not being able to return the battery. So I checked my store for inventory and was so happy to see it stocked in my area, along with the battery. And sure enough, it rang up under the DeWalt/M12 promotion for the free battery, which also makes me think that it probably applies to DeWalt line of products.
Thanks OP! You've been repped.
