I have been on a kick of the flat style LED flashlights for every day carry. I have about 5 and this one is just awesome. Long battery life. Easy to use and just works. I love it. I was hoping they would make a black on , I’d get that one also!!
The Slayer pocket flashlight is amazing! I'm a professional motorcycle mechanic for a well known brand world wide. I use a pocket flashlight for many tasks on a day to day basis. I use my light for everything from checking brakes to solving wiring issues. The Slayer has 4 modes of illumination intensity that come in handy no matter the situation. The slayer also offers a memory function to save your most used or favorite mode. At a press of the button the light turns on, straight to your saved intensity. At first, I wasn't sure if I would like or even need the memory function. After using the Slayer for about 3 weeks now, I love the memory function. The battery last a long time as well. I can use the light off and on for about 2 days before I need to recharge. When the light needs to be recharged the buttons light up red, letting you know it's time to plug in. When the light is done chagrining, the buttons light up green. This is one of if not the best pocket flashlight I've ever owned. I would definitely recommend buying it!
I have several flashlights from Coast and am quite pleased with them all. But the Slayer is one of the brightest small lights I've ever seen. I love the dual beam letting you have a high power spotlight, or wide floodlight, and various brightness levels, too. I do notice it gets hot on the high power settings if used very long. In the "turbo" mode it automatically reduces brightness after about 30 seconds which is a good feature. USB-C is quickly becoming very common across small electronics, and the Slayer is the third Coast product I have using this charging method.
Great light, but a better pocket clip should be considered. The pocket clip is serviceable but lacks strength, proper size and the mount of the clip should be recessed into the body. It’s way too thin, too narrow and mounts to the body is such a way that the mounting screws will “clip” into anything other than a thin pocket, making retrieval a two handed job. Otherwise, very happy but would like to see a better clip.
I have been using this pocket light for the past 2 weeks. I am an autobody technician and a light with these settings is a must have! I have yet to charge the light since the first charge, so that is also a plus. I also like the low, medium and high settings and how you can change them to become the default option. The light feels good on hand, the clip is strong that it doesn't slip out of the chest pocket and it is easy to clean. I would recommend this light 10/10.!!
Really like the size and shape of this flashlight. My HX5 is my normal EDC flashlight at home and work, however this Slayer has a profile that easier in my pockets. Really helpful when crouching or getting into awkward positions. The size is similar to having two Sharpies in your pocket.
I do like the memory setting for the lights, so you can have you go to without needing to cycle through the other options.
The light is classic Coast, crisp and clean, and very bright.
The charge has been up to snuff and is very lightweight with its internal battery, in contrast to the rechargeable battery of my HX5.
The regular modes are all useful for different situations, but I really love the memory mode. I can use my favorite beam with it's own button instead of scrolling through the modes.
The size is good in my hand and in my pocket. It's so light, I don't notice it's there at all. The edges are all curved so there are no hotspots digging into my hand or fingers.
Lastly, it has a USB Type C charging input. It's really nice that I can use commonly found cords to charge it.
