if you already have a dewalt 12v cordless tool - this flashlight be great . I always keep my backup battery charge and I have good light whenever I need it . it be fairly well build and will provide great usable light for more than 30 minute . the head of the flashlight rotate so that you can position the beam where you need it . should it be cheaper ? it use to sell for $ 34.00 and now cost $ 20.00 . sound like a good deal to I caslo
