As an LED task light it is a good quality unit. The magnetic end can be helpful to hold it in place when looking under the hood of a car or other metal object. The laser reached half way across the Home Depot store but not a very big dot. I bought it to use the laser while leading tours through a cavern. It does not work well for that or as a pointer for presentations. There is only one switch for 3 functions. The first click on the button switch turns on the work light, the second click turns off the work light and turns on the flash light on the end. The third click turns off the flashlight and turns on the laser. So to turn on the laser you have to click it three times This is very distracting in a dark cave or during a presentation. If the laser function had a separate switch it would be a good buy.

The light was too small. No where in the description does it give the length. We've bought 3 others of this style for our home and use them everywhere. They are bright, have a magnet at one end for easy placement and a spot light. The other problem is the red pointer light. A person doesn't notice that it was on until hours later. Dead battery. That's another thing, all the other's we have bought at Home Depot over the years had a rechargeable battery. I didn't notice that until it was home that it was not rechargeable.

Mine came with a defective switch. I couldn't get the lights to stay on unless I hold down the switch. Not sure if I will get another one.

Good solid light
This is certainly a good light for the price. There is a 16 LED flood light, an 8 LED spot light at the end and a red laser pointer also at the end. All three functions are operated sequentially from the single power button. Thus you cannot combine the functions. I don't like that the clip loop swings freely on the bottom of the light, but it is easily removable. I don't find any issues with the laser pointer despite what some others have said.
PROS:
Solid aluminum construction
Button feels solid and simple to function
Has very strong magnet in the base
CONS:
Clip loop is mounted on the bottom and swings freely so it can get in the way.
Clip loop is not very secure and would easily pull out if used for transport.
LEDs are not as bright as the more expensive flashlights, but it certainly matches the price point.
I should note that I ordered two of these at the same time and I was shipped one black and one red light. I don't mind the red color, but just be warned that there is more than one color option.

compact, light weight, easy to operate with the single switch toggling between wand light, flashlight, and lazier pointer, magnetic end is a bonus. Good value and good for a gift too

good product
we bought this for the laser light to play with the cats. it's great because we do NOT have to hold down the button the entire time we use the laser. just push to turn on; push to turn off. it has a flashlight setting and a general area setting for the white light. it also has a powerful magnet to hang by the end. i usually store it this way too. we are pleased with the flashlight, highly recommend it, and have no regrets

One fantastic versatile light.
Love the versatility, spot or flood. Emits a very bright light in either mode. The most unique feature is the strong magnet at the base of the unit. The magnet will hold on any magnetic surface including the wheel well of a car, or the hood of a vehicle. The wire loop at the spot end is quite handy. Bought one for household use & now purchasing 5 more for gifts & 2 cars in our garage.
