Batteries are stuck inside
The light worked well until the batteries got stuck inside the compartment, preventing me from changing them. I tried removing them with a pliers - no luck. Initially, the pen light was impressive with its strong performance and durability, perfect for handling tough conditions. However, this significant issue with the battery compartment severely limits the tool's longevity and usability. Future buyers should be cautious of this potential problem.

    I would buy this again with no charge issue.
    I loved this flashlight. The laser built in keeps me from having to have to pen lights. The is strong enough to walk a project with 20' decks and you can still see the deck fairly well. But after the 4th charge the light won't charge anymore. Real bummer.

        Has potential.
        Picked this locally about 2 months ago in my go to hardware store, worked great for about 2 weeks before giving me two issues, one is a small flicker when on for longer than 2 minutes or so, like if the battery or connection is bad. But I learned to love with it, secondly is the quality of craftsmanship I mean u pay a pretty penny for all Maumee stuff u expect quality, like my headlamps and other flashlights that are over 1 or 2 years old and still going strong with no issues, but this on the other hand is absurd, being a pocket type flash light you would expect to be in good condition and yet the paint around the house g is completely worn off in less than 60 days, how? Compared to by 500 lumens which is a little older you can see the difference in condition. And even the mouth guard thing is chipping away just wow. But I will say when it's new out of the package great little light, after that it becomes a paperweight. Shame

          I would not buy this product again
          I would not recommend. For this price I would assume it was on par with most of Milwaukees tool. This is not the case with this light. I purchased one and received one as a gift shortlt after ,over Christmas...both clips already broke and only one of the usb cables still work and they don't keep a charge. I bought a different penlight from another brand at this pricepoint and it is half the size, way brighter, holes a charge a lot longer, you can adjust the beam, and the clip still works and is in an S shape so I can clip it on my pocket or use the other side of the S shape to clip on my hat...all that and it was about $10 cheaper. Sorry Milwaukee but this product was a serious let down and waste of hard earned money

            Not very high quality
            The light part of the flashlight is great but. I have had mine for about 6 months and the battery doesn’t last. Also the pocket clip broke off in a week and the ladder also stopped working.

                  I've had this light for about five months. Loved it, it worked great. All of the sudden, it won't turn on or charge. It just flashed red and green when plugged in.

                    I would buy this again
                    So far I love this light. The laser pointer has came in handy time and time again. Granted I’ve only had it for nearly two months. But I put it threw heck so far and hasn’t let me down yet. I work in an automotive factory on the molding side of things and will buy another one when the time comes.

                        Great pen light
                        I work maintenance and carry it with me all the time now, it’s much nicer than my coast lights it’s bright the light color does help a ton and with the reversible clip you can put it on your hat or bite on it to hold it, it’s helped me so much I don’t go anywhere without it now it’s my EDC Light. It’s rubber end where you bite on it could be tougher mine is already wearing out and it hasn’t been a month yet but for $20 what can you expect

                          Drop Ratings Overrated
                          Over all it's a great flashlight which I've owned for less than a year. But my flashlight quit working when I happened to drop (drop distance was less than the rated 2Meters).

                              I’ll buy it again for sure.
                              In the automotive field and absolutely love this light. The yellow light is great for not being too overbearing on reflection and bright enough to see what you need to. Battery is great and I carry it even when I’m not working. Only downsides is brake clean made the lense not clear (that’s on me), so the laser is just a smudged red light and the flashlight has been cutting off randomly no matter the charge, however it does come right back on.

                                Great Flashlight but mine has an issue charging.
                                I love this flashlight, but it will not charge after 5 months of use carrying in my pocket and using on average 3 times a day. It is now flashes green and red when attempting to power on.

                                  Excellent flashlight and decent laser
                                  I use the laser pointer as a toy from my puppy. It works great overall except the button on the laser hurts when you push it down for a long time there is no padding. That is my only real complaint. Overall, it works great.

                                    This flashlight is durable and very well built all the way to the inner seal that being said I just wish it was brighter I know it says 100 Lumens but it’s more disappointing in duty I hope they come up with a brighter version preferably with better LED lenses but can’t complain for $20.

                                      Way to frágil or probably mine was defective, it fall one time because of the magnet didn’t stick strong enough to the car and it brake

                                      it's good but could be better 2010R
                                      I mainly bought this light solely for the rubber bite zone. Which is excellent. The light is small in circumference and balanced pretty well so you hardly feel it between your teeth. The two brightness modes are great to have but I wish there was a way to program it so I could select whether or not it turns on to high or low beam. I will say I did expect it to be a little more bright but it is plenty bright enough. I mean after I don't tthe difference between 50

                                        Magnet works and is strong enough to hold weight of light. LED lights all bright and do very good for my needs. The USB batteries are 50/50, they do good with the light but they are not good with charging for example phones. With a usb battery 1 charge on my apple phone it’s dead with other brand usb bank 5+ charges.

                                          Great light for the price
                                          The rover light is great, i really like how it has 2 magnetics on it (one one the side and one on the end) makes it convenient to place it on any metal item. The Rover light is strong enough to have a good amount of light. As for the pen light i wish the lumens was 200 instead of 100 as well as the push button is a little hard to push for my younger son when he plays with it but for the price im happy with it other then that i would of gave it 5 stars in stead of 4.

                                          The Milwaukee rechargeable Penlight is a handy little tool.
                                          The Milwaukee rechargeable Penlight is a handy little tool. If you work in a situation where you randomly need a light to read a label, check the fit up of a part or check for a leaking fitting under a sink this light is is for you. It will easily fit in your pocket saver with your mechanical pencil, small steel ruler and pen. The light provides 250 lumens and is rechargeable using a simple micro-USB cable. Milwaukee provides the cable with the pen light. The connection for micro-USB cable is located on the front of the pen light and has a flap that seals out dirt and debris. A slender battery charge indication light is also located on the front side of the Pen light, A solid green light means 100% charge. A yellow pulsing light indicates 50 to 99% charge. A red pulsing light indicates 0 to 49% charge. The battery charge status is briefly shown when you turn on or off the light. With two light output modes (brightness alternates with every push of the on/off switch), you can get an optimal run-time of up-to 8 hours for any task. The light also has a built-in laser pointer if you need to point out a problem area to colleague. The button style on/off switch for laser light is located on the front of the pen light. Another handy feature is the rubber bite zone located on the back end of the pen light. This rubber bite ring is provided so you can clinch the light between your teeth and work on something using both hands. I’m not going to come out retirement to be able use this light every day, but I sure wish I had one when I was working full time.

                                          The new Milwaukee 250 Lumens Internal Rechargeable Penlight with Laser is a small penlight style flashlight that is great for working in tight spaces, or just to carry around with you. It is rechargeable via the included USB A to USB Micro cable, no charging block is included. There is a multicolor LED to indicate charge level, yellow while charging, green when charged. The LED light is bright and has a well formed bead, and the sharp red laser is great for pointing things out to coworkers. A great little light!

                                          At this level it needs a case option, one that works with a belt loop in a Velcro or snap close lid. I almost had two back to back heart attacks cause I thought I lost it twice. Now I will not use it at all until I find a suitable case.

                                            Best All-around
                                            I love this light and its bright beam. It's great for close up work and further. I was carrying two lights, but with this one, small and brighter, I just take this one. It has two different power levels, adjustable with a soft touch on the switch. The clip is stronger than my others. There is a rubber bite zone one the end, so that when you need both hands and the light. The laser is a great addition when pointing out items or areas to others. The button is easy to find and doesn't catch on everything. It saves time and helps prevent misunderstandings. It's small, powerful and perfect for EDC (every day carry). A must for work, perfect for around the house, shop, camping, etc. You won't want to leave home without it. I know what I'm buying some people for Christmas now.

                                            My Milwaukee 250 Lumens Internal Rechargeable Penlight with Laser is the perfect pocket companion. Slim profile, adjustable 2-way illumination, strong pocket clip, handy laser pointer, very solid construction and rechargeable batteries! It travels easily and gives me the needed illumination I need for virtually every task around the house! The on\off switch is a little stiff, but prevents accidental activation when in my pockets! I have had many "penlights" these past 40 years...this 250 lumen one is the Best!

                                            Very impressed with this Milwaukee penlight with a laser. This would make a great gift! So glad that this is rechargeable and that we are not needing or wasting batteries. It is a 250 lumen light and is very bright for a variety of jobs around the house, working on cars, work areas etc. The thin pen design is perfect for getting into tight spots. Also, like that they accommodate you for holding this in your mouth, you know you will. Great product.

                                            Another great Milwaukee product.
                                            I'm a flashlight guy. But this time I bought this for my son. He repairs cnc spindles. He needed a thin powerful narrow flashlight. This was perfect. With 250 lumens this flashlight is quit bright for his needs. And also a 50 lumens second level of brightness. Milwaukee has what the call Trueview light. What it does is create a High Definition Output. Fancy words that mean the light beam is a very tight semi-broad beam of light. Perfect for his purposes. And the flashlight is rechargeable. The 2 ft. High quality cable is an micro-usb cable. And heads up no charging block included. To plug in the charging cable. But we all have many charging blocks from old smartphones you can use. So no biggie there. And there's a onboard battery indicator on the side of the flashlight. Green yellow and red lights. To let you know where your batteries charge level. Nice feature! The laser pointer feature works well. It directed a red laser beam four houses down the street. I'd say that's pretty good decent range. Overall great product. A little pricey but pretty darn good flaslight/ laser pointer. And with a 2 yr warranty. Milwaukee has you covered.
