Great no thrills light

The G20 is a great no thrills light. It is a single more on or off light that is not so bright that it blinds you in close quarters work. I have had two of these for years now and love the lights. But I have a job now where I am constantly on the move and I carry these lights in my pants pocket. The lights are great until you reach in the pocket and pull it out, press the button and nothing happens. The tail cap activation button gets pressed in my pocket while bending over and climbing and I have no idea till I go to use it and the battery is dead. I would love to see a version of this light with a recessed tail cap protecting the button, or just a replacement tail cap accessory that is recessed that I could purchase to prevent this. But over all this is a great light and I recommend them to everyone, except those who are on the move a lot and prefer to carry inside a pants pocket. And carrying this light on the outside of the pockets is not an option in my work.
I've been running the COAST G20 paired with a rechargeable battery for several years now, and it's a total workhorse. This setup handles daily abuse at work and comes in handy around the house too. The tough construction holds up great, and the strong, adjustable clip makes it my go-to EDC—clips securely to pockets, hats, or tool belts without budging. At this price point, it's easy to grab a few extras and keep one everywhere. Super reliable inspection light that just keeps going. Highly recommend!
Beginning with the _concept_ of the perfect penlight, continuing with _logical_ product development on the drawing board, and culminating in a superior price point!
Bought this to replace a Coast penlight that was “lost.” Needed a penlight that could be hung in a holster near the bed in our camper to use for accessing bathroom in the dark. Works great for this!
Great light until you need to change the batteries

Was a great product until I couldn’t get the battery out of the housing…. I tried everything. Heating the case, applying lubricant oil, tapping on a surface… it’s a great flashlight until you need to replace the batteries… makes sense why it’s 15 bucks.
I started carrying a flashlight about 15 years ago and couldn't find one that could hang with me. until i found the g20 ive worn out all kinds of competitors ( police, quantum) other no name ones but this thing has been with me in my pocket for years and it doesn't flicker or anything until the batteries go. i use the cheap batteries in it because they last forever in this thing. ill definitely get another one when this thing finally quits im thinking of trying that g22 out since this one has been so good
I bought my Hx7 about four years ago, it still works to this day, and performs just like it did the day I bought it.It has 360 Lumens of light and 130 lumens on high. It has a water resistant and dust resistant and reliability, very durable, my son as ran over my at least four or five times, has a few scratches but still works. I've dropped in the water haven't had any issues with it. I've only have used the AA batteries and it can put out up to 3 half hours. But you can different type of out comes on the different batterys. Good EDC flashlights for any occasions.
