Size and Weight
The Milwaukee 2129 weighs in at 8.6 pounds as a bare tool, and 10.2 pounds with a 5.0Ah battery. This light measures 19 inches when collapsed, and extends all the way out to 46 inches. Thanks to the pivoting joints and magnetic base, this allows you to direct light right where you need it while you work.

The Milwaukee 2129 retails for $279 as a bare tool and comes with a 5-year tool warranty, and a limited lifetime LED warranty.
The Bottom Line
While some folks might just see another work light, I see a tremendous lighting solution for our friends in the automotive and industrial maintenance fields. The 2129 allows you to direct light right where you need it most, and easily mounts to any ferrous metal surface. Its articulating arms are easy to maneuver, but they’re stiff enough to stay in position. There are plenty of lighting solutions on the market, but I think the Milwaukee M18 Magnetic Extendable Boom Light takes it to the next level.
