Surprisingly good light from a small flashlight. Excellent for inspections.

The G20 is an excellent, very bright inspection light. While this is not the light you need for distances, it works extremely well for close up work (>8-10'). When I first bought it, I wasn't sure how much I'd actually use it, but now use it several times a day. This review is actually on a replacement. The switch on my first G20 sometimes needed a tap to get it to turn on. I contacted COAST and was immediately shipped a replacement, no questions asked. This type of customer service is rare these days and they've earned a customer for life.

I work in an automotive assembly plant and do occasional repairs and needed a small solid light to see in dark/tight places in vehicles and this light is perfect. I use it way more than I ever thought I would and its always right in my shirt pocket and does not weigh me down. My co-worker saw me use it and showed up to work with the same one two days later! Its lightweight, durable, and have used it for about two months and havent had to swap the batteries. The solid edge inspection light keeps you focused on what you need to see.

Full Disclosure: Coast provided me this G20 in order for me to test out. But, everything I will talk about here is my own opinion. Coast Portland was not given copy approval nor any editorial input in this review. That means, they're reading this review for the first time along side you. These are the topics I will cover. Skip to whatever corresponding number in order to read about that specific topic and find what you are looking for. 1 Build Quality/Overview 2) Weight 3) Operation and Modes 4) Charging Port 5) Charging and Battery 6) Performance On Lithium-ion Battery 7) Charge Time/Battery Satistics 8) Final Thoughts The Individual Topics Begin Here: 1) Build Quality/Overview: ? The light feels premium in the hand with smoothish knurling ? It is entirely made of anodized aluminum ? The tail cap unscrews in order to remove the battery ? The button is a high travel, stiff, mushy, high positive tactile button with a rubber cap over it 2) Weight: ? 2.19 oz (62 grams). That's about the weight of 11 United States Quarters 3) Opperation and Modes: ? The operation of the light is controlled by one button on the back of the light ? There is only one mode ? There is no momentary on mode 4) Charging Port: ? No charging port built into the light itself. Instead, there is a Micro-USB charging port built into the optional ZX110 battery 5) Charging and Battery: ? The light is powered by 2 alkiline AAA batteries. It can also run on the Coast ZX110 lithium-ion rechargeable battery ? The ZX110 battery is a 10900 cell ? The ZX110 battery has a built-in Micro- USB charging port and a charging indicator on the top of the battery ? A solid red light indicates charging and a solid green light indicates the battery is fully charged 6) Performance On Lithium-ion Battery: ? I didn't notice any performance/brightness increase when running it on the optional ZX110 battery 7) Charge Time/Battery Satistics: ZX110: Rated Capacity: 600 mah Tested Capacity: 653 mah Built-In USB On Battery: Charge Speed: 302 mah Time: 2 hours 24 minutes 8) Final Thoughts: Put simply, this is a simple generic pen light. Nothing too special here to note. The G20 has a unique inspection beam which is basically just a narrow perfectly circular even beam of light. It has no hot spot in the center. Although, for me, it is a bit too dim for my applications. For me, the HP3r is a much better fit. The G20 is nearly identical to the HP4 interms of build, size, and operation. The only differences being the HP4 being much brighter and having a Bulls-Eye beam pattern with a hot spot instead of the inspection beam pattern on the G20. Overall, it is a well built pen light that is rather affordable.

Bright light and perfect for my needs. With the clip it stays fastened to my pocket without worries about it falling out. When my last coast penlight broke they were prompt about getting me a replacement item. Super happy with my purchase!

Best light ever! Now on my third one...lost the first and the lense on the second is very hazy(scratched)but still works, I am now going to keep a vinyl cap over the lense on the new one when in my pocket. I keep this clipped in my front pants pocket and the only down fall this almost perfect inspection light has is that occasionally I have bumped the switch and drained the batteries( gives a whole new meaning to hot pocket), I have worn it with a plastic cap ( from a roll of copper tubing) on the switch end thru 3 lights now! It works but is not esthetically pleasing. COAST are you listening! Recess the switch and lense ends to protect these components from accidental turn ons and scratches from pocket contents. 2mm on the switch end and 4 mm more on the lense end should do it, this could even be made to be a ?Tactical? addition and then Coast would have the most perfect EDC inspection light available at a reasonable price. Now get to it and conquer the market! SEMPER FI Horse_with_no_name

I bought this yesterday and it stopped working 15 mins after I opened, I tried to replace the batteries but to no success. I don't think it is a burnt bulb because of the bright LED it has. I just got frustrated because I love the sleek pen like, pocket sized design. and now I have lame metal tube with a button on the back, I bought one for my sister last year and hers works great. I am guessing I just lucked out with a lemon.

This inspection light is very useful for the car when out camping or it's dark outside and you looking for something in the car. It can be used to do a lot of things but I personally use it for the car. It works great, comes with coast batteries and it is very durable.

As a former LEO this is one of the finest flashlights I have ever owned. The quality and durability speaks for itself. The rechargeable option is second to none. Don?t be afraid to purchase this. You won?t regret it.

I had originally purchased a G20 flashlight a few month's ago. It then started to flicker, then quit working. I contacted the customer service department, discribed the problems. Coast sent me a brand new flashlight at no cost. I really liked the flashlight, and I really like the new one. I am very appreciative of the company to stand up to thier product. I would, will purchase more products in the future. Thank you for all your assistance.

I have enjoyed using mine at work. I have had three of them and keep losing them. I use them to change tool inserts, they are good to spot worn and broken inserts. No matter how fancy a holding set up. You can never have light where you want it to be but these lights I just put it in my mouth and I can hold it and point anywhere I need it. The only thing I have trouble with is with the pocket clip they fall out with activity and when I put it in my pocket they get bumped and turn themselves on. They are the best little lights and I like them better than mag light.

I bought this same light a couple years ago and use it all the time at work. Nothing better for seeing what's going on inside a machine.

Have been using a G20 light for 8 or 9 years with little trouble. As a mechanic I use it numerous times a day. It’s endured many drops and keeps working. Would recommend it to anyone who wants a good reliable light.

Confused cant seam to find the zithion-x that fits the g20. Is it not available yet or is my packaging wrong and its not an option?
