Brand names. All companies have them. The name that is associated with a company is something all try their best to instill in the minds of consumers. Some brand names have a storied and lasting history behind them. When I think of the brand name of Stanley, I personally think about high quality tools that anyone can use for the home improvement trade, heck even the professionals use Stanley. Stanley is now technically part of the Black & Decker family and called Stanley Black & Decker.

Stanley makes everything from chisels for carpentry, measuring tapes, stud sensors, hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches, knives, and even flashlights. The FatMax line of tools has been a lineup of tools that has given steady growth for Stanley. Stanley FatMax products are those that are essential for the professional, or enthusiast who desire durable, high quality tools. They are a step above the norm and now have the FatMax Xtreme lineup of tools with a slogan of Treat It Like You Hate It, brilliant motto.

Today I have the chance at sharing with you two of Stanley's latest flashlights that are part of the FatMax lineup. These spotlights utilize new Lithium-Ion battery technology as opposed to previous generations that have used heavier and problematic Sealed Lead Acid battery types. Improvements come in the form of weight savings, extended runtime, and longer lifetime without much maintenance.
