For the price of this flashlight, it's a no- brained, very cool tool to hike during early nights, when your camping trying to read, it's awsome
Great little flashlight. This was a replacement for one that wouldn’t work. Well made. I use it when I walk my dog, especially in the winter in Ontario.Sheds light two ways. I like the “Bullseye” position during my walks. My son uses the “Flood” view when he BBQs at night. Very bright and focused. Highly recommend. Customer service is second to none. Replaced my G56 - No questions asked and at no extra cost to me. Well done Coach!
Good solid light for a great price. As an aircraft mechanic I need a bright dependable light and this fits the bill.
I purchased one like this awhile ago and eventually was having some problems with it. I was hoping I could fix it with the help of the manufacturer. Little did I remember that it had a lifetime warranty which they quickly mentioned and had a new one shipped to me right away. I always loved the power of this flashlight and how bright it was. It seemed to blow away everything else, but now that I’m made aware of the lifetime warranty and how helpful they were, I’m recommending Coast products to all my friends. Definitely a great light and excellent value.
So far, so good. Plenty bright, adjustable and evidently fairly rugged because 'ol butterfingers has dropped it twice onto a concrete floor and it survived
My PX45 finally gave up the ghost. After many years of reliable service, it just died. I contacted COAST Customer Success and as my light is no longer available, I was issued a new G55 as a replacement under warranty. The replacement arrived today, and it is a close replacement of my old light in size weight and performance. I have been using COAST flashlights for many years and I have never been disappointed with any of them. I fully expect to enjoy many years of reliable service from this new G55. COAST you guys are awesome!!!!
I bought this light on sale and it is the brightest handheld light I own. I can see all the way down my street at night with this light. This light is awesome for what I paid for it and its a trusted Coast product. I have a couple non Coast brand lights in my other vehicles but as they fail (if not before) they will be replaced with Coast brand lights. I enjoy the variety of the Coast brand of flashlights. I have my favorite lights, but like to try some of the other models when I can get them on sell, after all, can you really have to many flashlights if the power goes out, or there was some kind of emergency. The fact that these lights (not including their rechargeable units) use common easy to find and cheap to stock up on AA and AAA batteries make it the best choice.
This is a really great light, really bright and seems very durable. The only reason I'm not giving it a five-star rating is because you need both hands to turn it on/off as the button is at the bottom of the handle instead of the side, which makes it awkward sometimes. Otherwise, it's really nice.
My flashlight stopped working for reasons unknown. I had swapped out the batteries and tested the replacements on a volt meter to make sure the new ones were truly fresh and at full power. After explaining this to the team at Coast, they immediately set me up for a replacement. Although no model number was visible, a photo sufficed. I received my new Coast flashlight in just a few days. Thank you Team-Coast. Not only do you have a great product, your service is second to none.
Small and bright. 11 y/o used for outdoor school. Loved it.
