I be a fan of these 18v light in general . this particular light , the head do not move directly up and down . the head rotate left and right at a 45 degree angle . useable but just a tad awkward . but if you only have Dewalt battery on the job , this light be a must . it seem fairly durable . I have already accidently drop it from chest height on concrete with no injury to light or bulb . lucky ? overall I be please with this light .
