CarCareTruth's Analysis

Last reviewed May 26, 2026

TL;DR The 2735-20 delivers 100 manufacturer-claimed lumens — unconfirmed by community testing — from a compact M18 cordless form. The pull-out hook is the only hands-free mounting option; this is a close-quarters light, not a high-output area work light.

What it is and how it performs

Cordless M18-platform (18V Li-ion, battery not included) LED work light rated at 100 manufacturer-claimed lumens — no community lux test has confirmed this. Milwaukee claims up to 10 hours of runtime with a 5Ah battery; plausible at 1.25W but unconfirmed. The 90° rotating head and pull-out hook are the only mounting options; no magnetic base or stand.

Who should buy this — and who should skip it

A good match for an existing M18 owner needing a compact handheld light for close-up tasks — not for illuminating a full engine bay or under-vehicle work area. For hands-free area lighting, look at higher-output cordless work lights with magnetic bases.

Safety and environmental impact

UL Listed per the operator manual (database URL at productiq.ul.com not confirmed). M18 Li-ion battery — dispose of spent cells at a Call2Recycle drop-off. Standard e-waste at end of life.
