Makita DML185 18V LXT Cordless Xenon Flashlight Bare Tool

The Makita DML185 is an 18V LXT cordless xenon flashlight engineered to provide high-luminance hands-free illumination across jobsite inspection, plumbing bay, and electrical enclosure workspaces.

Delivering up to 7.5 hours of continuous illumination when paired with an 18V 5.0Ah LXT battery, it incorporates an internal replacement bulb storage cavity, a rubberized soft grip, and a shoulder strap attachment for convenient transport and maintenance. **Battery and charger sold separately.
