Thank you Jeff for putting all of the time and resources to make this video. Excellent!! I love my M12 Rocket Light and use it all the time. I enjoyed it so much I picked up a second one with free 6 amp battery from Home Depot's buy of the day a few weeks ago for $129! Awesome lights!

This is definitely 💯 one of the best reviews for this light. Thanks Jeff 👍

This review helped me get the M12 Rocket Light and at a heavily discounted price. I was able to pick it up for $199 with two 6.0 batteries and a charger. I tested it at home and I couldn't be happier. I was originally contemplating the M18 light which is more powerful but its just too bulky for my purposes. Thank you so much for this awesome review! Cheers!

Watched several videos on this light and yours was the only one that included a runtime test. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the comparison!...I have 2 of the m12 rocket lights. They are not the best lights I have used but they are so handy. I prefer to have 2 M12’s than 1 m18 rocket light. It allows me to place them in different locations and minimize shadows while I’m working. I do plan on getting an m18 rocket at some point but I haven’t felt the need yet. Thanks again!

Like you knew I was shopping between the M12 and M18 light systems!

2 yrs later and your video is helping me make a decision! Such a great thorough video! I’m currently just waiting on the m12 light to go on a somewhat sale lol hopefully sometime soon. (Mainly choosing m12 because that’s what I have batteries for)

[andyseuberth]

I have found a great way to deal with the M12 battery removal. Just take the entire tool and battery that is attached and throw it as hard as you can toward a hard surface. It doesn’t help and usually breaks something else but it makes you feel better for a fraction of a second.

I'll catch the re-run in the morning, as much as I'd like to stay up, its getting late over here in the UK! Look forward to seeing it

Getting the battery out of the m12 version is insane!!! Milwaukee needs to make an extender compartment insert to allow the battery to hang lower so we can get more leverage. Hell I imagine someone could 3d print something like that but would need to get the metal in the right spot. This is no joke getting the batteries out.

I just bought a combo deal from home depot for the m12 rocked + a xc6.0 starter kit for $199

[az-chris]

I just got the M12 Rocket light bundled with the 6 Ah battery for $149 less than a week ago

[masterkilla]

I believe it was your m18 rocket light video that tipped me to getting it. No looking back it is a phenomenal light. If I find the m12 one on a crazy sale I'd pick it up. Otherwise I'm quite pleased with the m18, nothing i have or anyone I know has anything that compares.

[JDelta]

Nicely put together review, especially the timer with the different size batteries and the brightness comparison. This definitely helped me get an idea of what to expect if I were to purchase one.

[popparock]

I like the black contrast color on that Tape measure!
