I't's been a little less than 2 years since I bought the Coast PX1 flashlight. And to be honest I never thought I'd be raving about a flashlight.
In a word - AWESOME!
Admittedly this flashlight isn't cheap, but it's well worth the money. I wear it in a homemade leather belt pouch along with a multi-tool and I find myself using it almost every day. As tools go, it's one of the best I've ever bought.
It's well made; sturdy, compact and bright. I've dropped mine more than a few times and it's none the worse for wear. The lens assembly is well recessed from the front, keeping it from getting banged up. The focusing beam works well, and there are two brightness settings alternating as it's turned on and off. I use the brighter setting most of the time, but the reduced brightness is useful sometimes in close quarters when the brighter setting can wash out visibility.
I find that battery life is quite good; I use two sets of rechargeable AAA cells that I alternate between.
After two years about the only change is that the anodizing is wearing off a bit on the front and some of the knurling, but it works as well as it did when I first got it.
If you're looking for a great flashlight I can't recommend the PX1 enough!
