Professional Tool Reviews for Pros

Having a good work light is essential when you’re working in unlit areas or during the winter months when the sun sets early. If you’re on Metabo’s 18V or 12V battery platforms, you now have several more cordless work lights to choose from. Best Work Light For Mechanics

Metabo designed the BSA 12-18 LED 2000 for use in tight spaces. You control the output with a dial on the top where there’s also a convenient 5-LED battery level indicator.

Expect to get up to 5 hours of runtime on the maximum brightness setting using a 4.0Ah battery pack.

It features integrated magnets to attach to metal surfaces, a swiveling hook on the bottom for convenient suspension, and tripod threads. It has a 360° pivoting light head to provide light in any direction.

An IP54 rating protects it against dust and water for use on tough jobsites.

The BSA 18 LED 4000 work light is a compact solution for everyday lighting needs on the job that steps up the output level. It produces up to 4000 lumens for even illumination of the workplace with reduced shadowing. Its 270° pivoting light head ensures even light coverage to a large area.

You can expect to get up to 5.8 hours of runtime on the maximum brightness setting using an 18V 10.0Ah battery.

Additionally, this light features a 1-amp USB port to charge small devices in a pinch. It’s on the top next to the control dial and battery level indicator.

Like its 2000-lumen brother, it features integrated magnets for quick attachment to metal surfaces. It also holds an IP54 rating against dust and water.

The largest of Metabo’s new lighting solution lineup, the MSA 18 LED 10000 work light has a light output range of 1,000 to 10,000 lumens. Unlike the other Metabo cordless work light models, however, this light gives you the option to power it with either an 18V battery pack or a corded 120V connection. It doesn’t use a standard 120V plug on the back, so make sure you keep the cord that Metabo supplies with the light handy.

Expect to get a runtime of up to 2.5 hours on the maximum brightness setting using an 18V 10.0Ah battery.

Like the others, it holds an IP54 rating against dust and water for working in a range of conditions. Similar to the 4000-lumen model, this light features a 1-amp USB port for charging devices in a pinch sitting next to the control dial and battery indicator on the back.

Both at work and as a hobby, Noelle enjoys working on creative projects. When not at work, she loves spending time with her husband, pets, and friends.
