I don't want a better warranty, I want a tool that I can count on to work when I need it.

It's a minor pain to have to get out from under a car to grab another light if the one I'm working with fails. It's a huge pain if it happens when I'm half way through a washing machine repair at a rental and have to drive home to grab another light.
A review state that this comes with a replaceable battery; much better for longevity.

It's good price. I paid 17.99 during 2019 BF so not sure we ever see that prices. It has USB C versus the other 390lm that has micro USB. And yes it does have HDMI for the people that are gonna ask.

My brother and I bought 3 of the old ones, none of which lasted much longer than the 90 warranty. Hopefully the new ones are better quality, but I'm not holding my breath.

Maybe get the 2yr warranty. It's like $7 I think and you would still come out ahead.

That being side mine from 2019, the battery lifespan is reduced (like 40 mins on high now) and magnet feel off. But still works

I've used one almost everyday for the last 3-4 years. I hated that it didn't fold. This is definitely a great upgrade.

What is the recommended more expensive quality light similar to this one for automotive work?

One note to consider - they come with an 2200mah 18650 battery and it lasts up to about 2hrs and 30 minutes. You can actually upgrade the battery with a 3500mah 18650 (must be the security type with the button style positive end).

Mine broke recently. It still charges it's just the metal shield that surrounds the micro-USB pins has broke free and I don't see a way to re-insert it. Any advice?

I guess I was lucky enough to get a good one of the first gens. 3 years? now and going strong. Yes, I often need to clean the magnet off from grinding and welding debris, but I like how you can swap batteries and keep going with your work and charge them up again overnight. I bought the folding style too and like it even better, esp for the go bag for junkyard trips. but tbh, it doesn't seem much brighter than the first one.

No problems with mine after about a year. Still holds a charge where a Home Depot one that is similar won't hold a charge for more then a few days.

Get a 18650 charger. You can even swap them battery out for a new one and not have to wait for the light to recharge

I don't believe Milwaukee makes this style automotive light with a magnet.
