I gave it 4 stars - 5 stars for its usefulness and 3 for its build quality.  I have several cordless tools from different makes, so I'm not using up the batteries all the time like I'm supposed to from what I've read, but having this flashlight around helps me at least cycle through my DeWalt 12V batteries.  The flashlight has a lightweight feel to it without the battery installed, so it clerly doesn't feel as "heavy duty" or solid as, let's say, a drill might feel, but I figure what should I expect?  Maybe the yellow and black color scheme along with the DeWalt label makes me expect more?  But, heck, it's only a flashlight!  You can't vary the beam width as you can with a MagLite but you can pivot the head which has proven useful at least once.  Lastly, I'm not quite sure how I ever got by without a flashlight in the shop!  My final recommendation is that if you have a cordless kit from any make, get the matching accessory flashlight!
