Looks like some big brands in power tools are making them, such as Bosch, AEG, Milwaukee and DeWALT. So I guess safety shouldn't be an issue.

For the AEG S and M size, the price ($150) is not bad considering it includes battery and charger which worth $130 alone.

Thought those jackets would be good for fishing and night outdoor? (not just trades men at work.)

Can you stop posting this in the Geekzone sub-forum please? I've moved it (again) to a more appropriate sub-forum.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Sorry, will do. I thought it was me who put it in the "wrong" sub-forum.

Thanks.

was talking to a friend on the weekend who got one of these; he said his workmates took the piss out of him for a while (hehe), but he raves about it.

i have a milwaukee one, find it very good, one tip tho, get 2 batteries so one can charge while you use the other. on the hottest setting they only tend to last 2.5 - 3 hours. on low i tend to get 6ish hours
