Virtually Indestructible Flashlight vs Harbor Freight Free LED Light
The all-new flashlights from Kobalt are said to be Virtually Indestructible Flashlight so today we will kick off a series where we will test if this flashlight is truly virtually indestructible. We see how they hold up Kobalt vs Harbor Freight free flashlight. Virtually Indestructible Flashlight vs Harbor Freight Free LED Light... Let's find out!
This video is not sponsored by Kobalt or Lowes. I purchased the flashlight with my own money at Lowes and the Harbor Freight was free with purchase.
The Virtually Indestructible Flashlight Kobalt Flashlight found at Lowes Home Improvement store comes in 4 different sizes as well as different super-bright LED output lumens.
Each flashlight is engineered with a durable aluminum body and rubber casing for a secure grip as well as superior shock resistance if dropped up to 9m or 29.5 feet for ultimate durability.
These new Virtually Indestructible LED Flashlights are also said to withstand water submersion (up to 1 meter) for 30 minutes (IPX7 rated). The IPX7 rating means that the light is waterproof when submersed in water at a depth of one meter, for 30 minutes. Unless you require a diving light or flashlight that needs to be underwater for more than half an hour, a light with this rating should meet most of your needs.
The new Virtually Indestructible Flashlight carry a lifetime warranty that offers peace of mind and manufactured for tough job sites, household work, garage tasks, and more....

I keep one of the free HF lights in the house and one in each car. Very handy.
I don't use those free HF lights. Lumen output is low and you have to use a screwdriver to replace the battery. I gave it to my nephew to use. I highly prefer my $1-2 Chinese eBay LED lights over HF freebie one. I can just throw in a rechargeable 18650 cell or a AA battery depending on the size of the flashlight for around the house work. I use 18650 rechargeable work lights(usually built in but some are easy enough to take apart to replace) when I am working on the car or outside when it's dark. Perfect to get some work light at night that is almost like daylight positioning with the magnets on the work lights
Interesting video @ClientGraphics
A neat comparison is the kobalt v/s husky virtually indestructible one

I might have to get the Husky Virtually Unbreakable Aluminum Pen Light with Clip as it looks nearly identical. However I would bet the Husky warranty is easier.
This is the dumbest “test” I have ever seen. Who is ever going to smash another cheap plastic light with another flash light?
Those HF lights USED TO BE free. It looks like those days are over for the lights and other stuff as well. But those little HF lights are handy.

Yup, link to the free flashlight coupon in the description👍
I do have a “Police Security” LED pocket light from Harbor Freight and it’s been great! Just a single AAA and it’s been dropped in water, on concrete, etc and still works great! Like $5 with a coupon!
Those batteries ARE definitely rechargeable. Done it many times myself
I can't get my cobalt like to quit blinking as soon as I turn it on. It starts blinking and it will not quit regardless of what I do to the button
I will buy every single HF light you break. Please I need the diodes for projects I buy HF out if they ever have them. Thanks.
Man I’d definitely buy the biggest one if it was rechargeable 😓
Those Cobalt flashlights would be real good if they were rechargeable. I love the Braun rechargeable flashlight from harbor freight. #PEACE ✌🏿

I agree with you on both parts.
I bought an energizer from Costco for ~$15 thats still on its first set of C's, I'd like to see that compared to something like that Kobalt with its smaller cells
I accidentally backed over my Harbor Freight free flashlight and it exploded.
Get a Wowtac or Sofirn from Amazon for similar money instead with 18650's and have something that's rechargeable and more output for a lot less weight, more light and tint options.
They look nice but are not indestructible... their biggest flaw / weakest link is the batteries! Leave them in there for a few months, they’ll leak and destroy the internals! I have to pass on pretty much any non-rechargeable lights!
Streamlight for the win
Leave HF in engine bay drive around puddles and heat. Drop hood on it

Sounds like a well used HF light. Time to pick up a new free one😂
If this was rechargeable it would be way better but they are priced well.
Lose the free lights. Test the other hf lights against it. Lowes never gave out free lights so useless comparison
If the kobalt had a charging port I would be getting them.
That's correct it was not a fair test so you can quantum that be more of a fair test Dollar by dollar
How’s about putting both lights in a car tire and do some driving. See if they hold up

How about microwaving them both for 5 seconds
How pointless can you get? Comparing free to expensive is ridiculous. 👎👎
