    LED spotlight with rechargeable batteries?

    Look at the Malkoff drop-ins for the Maglites. https://malkoffdevices.com/collections/maglite-drop-ins-and-accessories I've heard that the recent Maglite LEDs are much improved over the older ones and offer great value, but I haven't tried them. There are other LED replacements for the...

    LED spotlight with rechargeable batteries?

    You didn't say what your intended use is, but for an actual spotlight you may want to look into something with an aspherical lens. The aspherical lens concentrates the light down in a narrow beam, and nearly eliminates spill that reflects off objects in the foreground and kills your vision. I...

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    I see lots of positive reviews of the M12 Gen 2 Fuel Hammer Drill 2504, but I've also read some complaints about it having a weird electronic "clutch" and having a slow ramp-up on some modes. Is this a case of recommendations made by people who haven't actually used the tool, or are the negative...

    Bees Lighting wanted to charge me a $5 per fixture handling fee, so I started looking around for another seller. I found that ShineRetrofits.com also carries the MaxLite LSS2XT8USE4803 for the same $15.96 with free shipping, and I used coupon "10offshine" to get $10 off. We'll see how they do...

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    Thanks guys. That makes sense now. I said 22x24 earlier (was reading a thread about a 22x24 garage), but my garage is actually 20' wide x 22' deep with a 7.3' x 3.3' notch out of the back corner. After measuring a few more times, I think I will go with 10 MaxLite/Lumegen combos placed roughly...

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    Gotcha, thanks. I didn't notice there was such a large difference in lumens. However, I'm thinking I may go with the MaxLite fixtures for a $1 more/fixture because they sound like they are built better. For some reason, I also thought the Diva or Maxlite fixtures could be hung from chain or...

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    I assume I should go with the Bees Lighting T8Rs since my garage ceiling is less than 9' and they have a 230 deg beam angle. (And they're now down to $7.99 each) Now to decide if I want 10, 11 or 12 fixtures in my 22x24 space.

    If it means anything, I'm pretty sure those are Camaro IROC wheels.

    Water hose reel

    I got my parents a Rapid Reel several years ago, and it has been great. I'll either be getting one for myself of mounting a wheel on a hub.
