We cover a lot from Stanley Black & Decker, but one of its otherย family companies, Mac Tools, just came out with something pretty coolย this week. Mac Tools introduced a Cordless Rubberized LED Worklightย (model TL98268). It may not be as prolificย as the Mac Tools smartphone app diagnostic tool, but the Mac Tools Cordless 3.6V LED Worklight is designed to be both versatile andย durable โ two features that are pretty important in a workshop orย garage environment.
Mac Tools Cordless 3.6V LED Worklight Features
The Mac Tools Worklight features a polycarbonate casing with TPEย (thermoplastic elastomer) textured coating finish. This outer coating isย a sort of rubberized coating that gives the flashlight a good grip and protection from falls. Of course, while thatโs impressive, Macย Tools also made the new LED Work Light water resistant โ the switch isย 100% sealed from water, dirt, and dust. Of course, allย of this is backed up with an IP54 rating.
With around 200 lumens of maximum light output, the Mac Tools Cordless 3.6V LED Worklight (TL98268) does a decent job of illuminating your immediate work area. The magnetic base lets you attach the TL98268 to a hood, steel stud, or beam for hands-free illumination of the work area. But the light is also versatile. It is both a floodlight and a flashlight. The floodlight mode uses three 1W LEDs that operate in two modes: 200 lumensย in High and 100 lumens in Low. The Worklight mode deliversย approximately three hours of run time in High output mode.
The Mac Tools Cordless 3.6V LED Worklightโs high-output flashlight beam is generated by a single 1W 65-lumen LED and has approximately eight hours of run time. The two switches onย the unit itself let you flip between flood worklight low, floodย worklight high, and flashlight (which is a straight on/off). Here is howย the run times break down:
- Flood worklight Low: 3.5 hours
- Flood worklight High: 2 hours
- Flashlight beam: 7 hours
The Mac Tools Cordless 3.6V LED Worklightย includes two (2) 3.6V rechargeable Li-ion battery packs, a wall charger, a 12V power outlet charger.
