You're confused. We're talking 10-$80 lights, not Maxabeams or Polarions. Same price range many other common tools fall into, and the same issues of quality vs price apply. Milwaukee > Makita > Dewalt > Ryobi > Hyper Tough. There's nothing new here, except the dumb notion that flashlights aren't like every other tool.
...and Panasonic smacks the shit out of all of them. You're playing this game with half a deck. :rofl:
Milwaukee is better than Makita? I'm fully invested in M18 and I wouldn't make that claim. Ryobi has accidentally created some of the better drills that have been released, and Dewalt still manages to crank out a solid product depending upon what you buy.
Would you suggest my expensive bluetooth or whatever Milwaukee drill/driver is a good purchase for everyone?
I'm not stretching with that, either. That's absolutely the sort of advice you're giving.
Cheers,
