The Makita LED torch is a great bit of kit, only about £25 and lasts ages.

true but its not good as a site light, i get a better cone of vision from my headtorch.

Site lights aren't much good when there's no power on.
I find most head torches don't last long, good light and where you need it though. Depends what your used to using I guess

you can get battery site lights mate.

not long my led lenser lasts ages. i have swapped the rechargeables out a couple times this year (buy decent rechargeables or they lose a lot of charge even if there left in a draw)

Here's the link to the light I bought - tested with what charge it had when delivered & got 4 1/2 hrs usage which was better than I thought I'd get. Will fully charge it & test again so probably will get close to 5hrs.

Got the DHP458 body with a makita case with top cover drill bit storage etc for £78
DC18RC charger for £32
BL1850 5.0 amp battery for £89

Total £199

Great choice !!! it's a really good drill to have & also agree on getting another Battery as not constantly using & charging the same battery all the time will help prolong their life span ,I picked up another 4ah Battery for only 60 quid not long after I got my drill.

Update:

Well I'm testing the lamp to see how long on a full charge, so far its been going 5:45mins - am impressed it's still going on well pasted the 5hr mark.

Well a full charge lasted 6hrs & 9mins. That's really good & worth the £42 I paid.

this was is better than the 453

 

[newtothis]

£200 for which?

The 458
I forgot to mention I got a handle and depth gauge included in the 200

TBH I would have got the 453 if I hadn't read this thread !

 

[john25]

The 458 comes with the Handle & Depth gauge as standard due to it being a High Torque drill
