I use it everyday at work it lasts about 2 years and then they warranty a new one so it’s perfect I wouldn’t expect a light that is used every day to last that long anyways especially for the price
Flashlight itself is high quality aluminum and has a nice feel to it. Perfectly sized, fits in a shirt pocket made for a pen. The beam is well defined. This little light wasn't made to brighten a room, but in an engine bay, wheel wells, or working on the interior of a vehicle, it is outstanding.
There is an available rechargeable battery (not included womp womp) which leads me to it's only drawback: The rechargeable battery must be removed in order to recharge it.
Other Coast products that have an available rechargeable battery have the ability to recharge the battery *without* removing said battery. It might seem like a small inconvenience, but it makes all the difference. It's the line between it being "great" and "perfect".
I was amazed at how fast the service was at replacing my flashlight. Within a few minutes they said they would be sending a replacement. I have never had great service. My replacement was in my mailbox in less than a week. I would recommend COST Products to anyone.
I have purchased several of these Coast Pens in the past few years. They are powerful little pen-lights that don't take up a lot of room in your shirt-pocket or handbag. Long lasting and attractive. Coast has a very nice color selection. They make very nice gifts for Christmas or Birthdays.
I was looking for a small battery powered flashlight that was non-toxic metal with a nice bright light. This one is perfect. it's made of quality materials and no off-gassing odors . Perfect for a person with lung injuries and chemical sensitivities!
