The only thing about that kit is it requires a pressurized water source where as the Kobalt fan will just pump it out of a 5 gallon bucket. A M18 to Kobalt tool adapter is like 20 bux. I haven't tried it with a fan but I feel like this might be the easier route? The misting kit is cool though.

M18™ ROCKET™ Dual Power Tower Light


This thing puts out an insane amount of light. I dropped in one of my 12 amp hour batteries and I had this light on high while working in a tight confined area with little light for over an hour.

Lost power at the house this evening so I grabbed that light and I put it on its lowest setting and literally my wife hot power had come back on cuz I had this at the bottom of the stairs and it was illuminating a lot of area that you could see including upstairs and downstairs.

about an hour later power came on, and only one bar on the battery had been used.

All dealing with the power loss. I just raised it a bit so it was just above my eye level and put it on the low setting and it still kicked out a bunch of light.

All I was doing my work, I was replacing a grounding ******** a water line in a tight area so I had the light directed exactly where I wanted it.

When I bought it honestly I was thinking about illuminating entire ceilings or entire walls, I wasn't thinking about doing plumbing in a tight area. Okay it was a tight area for me to get into but there was enough room for the light to stand up, man. I'm really liking it. Highly recommend it.

Have two of the v1 rocket lights still going strong. These things saved my **** during a couple of long duration power outages we had out here in CA. I tend to haul around other lights for working on stuff unless its an extended amount of time. The rocket lights take like a few extra minutes to setup...

I love mine but they **** with the larger amp hour batteries. The low battery warning is at a percentage or something so it starts flashing with the 12.0 WAY sooner than it needs to. The 5.0 battery is what that light seems to be calibrated for. When it flashes using a 5.0 battery, it really is time for a new one. With the 12.0 it starts flashing and there is SO much juice left in the battery. Very annoying. Overall a great light and I love mine though.
