Coast PX1 565 Lumen Pure Beam Focusing LED Flashlight with Twist Focus and Adjustable Pocket Clip

Great

Nice and bright. I'm not sure I like how abrupt the edges are but the focusing capability is helpful.

Perfect for what I needed

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!

I agree with Bill's review of November 13, 2022. Coast should have done a better job of marketing the changes they made to the PX1. It is 1/2 an inch longer, is 85 Lumens brighter and it's form factor is similar to the PX1R. The prior PX1 was more compact which really I liked. They may have done this to accommodate the possibility of using ZITHION-X 850 rechargeable battery, as the box now states duel power with the ZX 850. Amazon's web site and Coast's web site both show the Prior PX1 images, so it would be difficult to know what you are getting before you make the purchase. For me, I'm ok with the new PX1 design, but I sure would have liked to know this before I made the purchase. For that reason only, I deduct 1 Star

Great tiny flashlight for purse or pocket. Bought to replace the one I misplaced. I use it for unlocking vehicle, putting items in my trunk, unlocking house ect. Keep one in my bag at all times. I have multiple of this size/name brand. Great purchase

got what was expected

This is the third flashlight I have purchased from Coast and it is a perfect size and brightness. I always carry it in my pocket because I never know when I'll need one and it isn't bulky, but it also has a clip for belt, pocket or wherever. In fact I bought this one because I misplaced my older one and I wasn't disappointed. I highly recommend this brand for their quality, variety and brightness.
