Amazon.com Review
The best reason to include this Porter-Cable 12-volt flashlight in your toolbox is simply the convenience of being able to run it off your other Porter-Cable 12-volt batteries. It’s easy to switch in the battery just when you need it, and without the battery, the unit is very lightweight and takes up little space. But it does provide plenty of illumination when and where you need it most, and it’s heavy enough to sit upright on its battery so you can aim it and use it hands free. It has a 110-degree swiveling head and heavy-duty xenon bulb and comes with an extra bulb. Please note that a battery is not included with this model. –Jonathon Tudor

This light is bright and will run a long time on a charge. During a recent black out my whole family used it to light the room during homework time.
This is a very nice light without any debate. The ammount of light from this light is blinding. Not to mention long lasting. But be careful although the housing can take a hefty fall the bulbs rarely survive anything more than a three foot drop.
Although all the pictures depict the flashlight with a battery be fore warned it does not come with one, I little misleading I would say.
I don’t think I’d buy this by itself. You need a battery, and flashlights are pretty cheap. I like my Snake Light (Black & Decker) a lot. However, I bought a 12 V Porter Cable drill set with 2 batteries and charger so thought I might like the flashlight. Glad I bought it. This flashlight fits in the drill case. It is very nice having a heavy duty flashlight that uses the spare battery. Having it in the case is very convenient and makes lots of home repairs work well with the excellent task lighting that you get.
The flashlight stands well on the battery base. The head swivels, and the switch is protected by a rubber membrane that will keep construction grime out.
I have owned two 12v Porter-Cable drills, two 12v Porter-Cable flashlights & four 12v Porter-Cable Ni-Cad batteries for over 10 years, all of which work fine to this day. Because the batteries are Ni-Cad, they need to be completely discharged before being recharged in order to carry an effective load. So there’s a gap between their effectiveness in the drill & their readiness for charging. How to drain the remaining charge?
That’s where the flashlight comes in. It will actually stay quite bright for many hours, days even, on the remaining charge, but if you’re in a hurry, just leave the light on until the battery is completely dead.
I have never had an unusable drill in all that time and when my wife & I take our dogs out for walks at night, the flashlights are powerful, flexible & comfortable to use.
Last not least we’ve saved several hundred dollars in unbought throwaway batteries.
