I have used COAST "G26" flashlight for about a year now. I'm a Building Maintenance mechanic at a school and use my flashlight constantly. One day the rubber end that turns on the light fell off and I couldn't find it. I wrote to the company looking for a replacement end and the sent me a whole new flashlight with no questions asked. Now thats a company that stands behind their product. Thank You
Needing a good flashlight I went to the local mercantile. The salesman recommended the Coast G26. The price was right and he said he had one himself and used it often. I have had mine about three years and use it a couple of times a month and was so pleased that gave each of the family one for Christmas. This time was looking for an earring back dropped on the carpet. The flashlight came on briefly then quit. New battery. It took me a good hour to get the bottom off the unit and the battery out. It was corroded. Spent another 30 minutes cleaning out the corrosion to no avail. The new battery made no difference. The flashlight is now in the trash.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Ok, so i bought my husband a g25 glashlught for christmas, he had one before and has been using coast products for 10+ years, unfortunately the flashlight didnt work out of box, but customer support took very good care of me, i am thankful for that, my husband is very happy with the g26 he recived, to my knowledge it has two settings, bright and extra bright (sorry dont know the lumens i think theyre called) but my husband NEVER leaves home without it in his pocket, hes stated several times he feels "naked" without it. All in all, coast has 10 stars rating from me and my husband
After several years, my Coast G26 broke after dropping it. Contacted Coast. They quickly sent a replacement, per the Lifetime Warranty. Great service, great product. Would buy from them again!
The G26 is a little but very bright - brighter that many standard size units, and very light, running only on a couple AAs. The components are well made, heady duty aluminum body, in league with high-quality units like mag-lite. Not the only COAST flashlight I own, but probably the handiest. :)
