Fluorescent Worklight
I had the impression this Fluorescent Worklight was on mini-tracks and could move around like a mini-tank with a remote wire when you can't move it by back muscle. Well, just be aware, you have to lug this SOB everywhere. Eventually a concrete slab fell on it. Totalled it just like that. Built like a horse, my [blank].

Good product
I am a professional finish carpentry contractor who uses this product on a jobsite regularly. I like the fact that this charger accepts all of my dewalt batteries of different voltages. The worklight is a nice feature as are the extra power outlets. I got mine on sale for 99 dollars(sweet deal). (the light will run on 12-18 volt batteries)(charger will charge 7.2-18 volts - yes you can mix and match,example- 12 volt in one hole 18 in the other as they are independent charging circuits)
It really does keep me from dragging as much stuff out of the trailer (extra cords, plug strips, chargers, batteries, worklights) and saves me a lot of time on the job and boosts my efficiency.
The worklight is plenty bright to light up a room although some other reviewers complain it does not fit into tight spaces. I don't think it was meant to be used in extremely tight spaces, thats why they make the cordless line of lights that run on the batteries this charges. Look at it as more of a base station to keep near the bench/central/general work area, or in my case work table and miter saw. I run a cord to my saw and one to this, then If I need any jigsaws,sanders,etc at the work table it gets plugged into this unit.
Good for a working contractor or crew or anyone that has a real need for it. A nice addition to my dewalt arsenal. I could see electricians/ plumbers/hvac guys liking this unit also. No one likes working in the dark.
Although I mainly work during the day sometimes it is cloudy or just very little natural light in the work area. There are almost never lights in the houses until after I am done trimming and the painters leave. Except the occasional remodel job. This fits that need for light and will let you work late or at night when you just have to stay late to finish work up. I might even try working some evenings/ nights in the summer to beat the heat now that I have this.
I would reccomend a cordless Dewalt light and a few batteries to accesorize this if you plan to use a lot after dark or in a dark area.
if like me you probablly have a few already anyway. It is Dewalt so how could you go wrong?

A Great Item To Have
I had purchased the DeWalt DC022 Combination 38 Watt Fluorescent Work Light and Charger with other DeWALT items. We live on the Mississippi gulf coast and do and have had several hurricanes. I wanted this item for two reasons; one when the power goes out I have a great light that is powered by two 18-volt batteries and the other being that when I am using all my cordless tools form the DEWALT DC9PAKRA Heavy-Duty 18-Volt Cordless 9-Tool Combo Kit, I know I can count on the DeWalt DC022 Combination 38 Watt Fluorescent Work Light and Charger to keep my batteries (which I purchased extras from Amazon.com) charged and ready.

Better than expected !
This is a lot bigger than i thought it would be. The light output is great and came in handy painting a large ceiling, to avoid missing any areas. Wet paint really shines off this light and you can carry a wet edge through the project. Also, during a service breaker panel change over, with no power available for a time, this light also proves its worth. Charging TWO batteries at once is a PLUS as well ! If you like Dewalt, you will LOVE this work light station !!
