I got this as a product tester. The first one was working well until the switch went bad. Coast replaced and I am using the replacement. Very handy work light. Can use as a pen light or a work light where others won't fit. The magnet is a great feature, easily attaches in hard to reach places. Not so sure about the built in ruler. It's black so the ruler is impossible to read in conditions where you need a work light. Overall, you won't be dissapointed with this product.
I was skeptical at first thinking this light wouldn't have enough power or battery life, but it has become one of my favorites that I always keep in my pocket. It's light as a pen, comes in handy for any situation with its single beam and two C.O.B (low and high) modes which come in handy no matter the situation. The red magnetic piece goes hand in hand with C.O.B. light, you just attach it to a metallic surface to illuminate your work area. It is rechargeable using a USB-C cable and on the back of the flashlight is a meter to indicate how much juice is left. The ruler is a nice touch, about 5 inches/13 centimeters, so for a quick use or reference it can come in handy. Simple, sleek and does the job!
I can’t say enough good things about this flashlight! The battery in it holds charge forever. I love that it has an indicator light showing you battery level. It fits right in my pocket and is so light weight I forget it’s even there. The magnet base is probably the biggest plus. From sticking it to my smoker when cooking at night, under my hood on my truck, or under a RV at work I can always get the light where I need it hands free! If you’ve been looking for a new everyday pocket light then look no further! This is the light for you.
I’ve used this light for about two weeks and I retired my Streamlight Wedge. I restore classic cars and this is my new pocket light. It is extremely lightweight and does not pull my shirt pocket due to its light weight. While the flashlight is not the brightest I’ve ever used, the COB on high is awesome. The COB coupled with the magnet is great for tight spaces. It’s more versatile than the light I had been carrying.
The USB-C port coupled with charging indicator is handy to a) charge without fumbling with a micro USB to turn it for the correct orientation and b) see the status of the battery before taking it to a job only to find it’s almost dead. That said, the battery life is really good. I used it quite a bit on high and I went almost an entire week without charging.
Surprisingly, the ruler is more helpful than I anticipated. I use it way more than I thought to measure bolt lengths etc.
The magnet is adequate given the weight, however you can dislodge it if not careful, due to its length.
Please take a look at the pics as I used it extensively behind the dash of a classic Porsche as I attempted to clean up a less than sanitary under dash wiring.
I do like this light the battery lasts for a good amount of time and with the magnet and Clip you can get the light pointed at what your trying to work on and it is pretty Brite but not so Brite that it washs out what your working on seems to spread the light out evenly if your looking for a good rechargeable multi light flashlight give this light from Coast a chance to light up your life. Have a great day everyone.
