Coast G10 Inspection Pocket Light, 65' Beam, Silver, AAA Battery

2022-10-09T20:00:00

I Love this little light! It?s the perfect size to put in your pocket and just use for anything you might need at the moment. Bright light for a AAA and battery lasts a long time. I carried it for years and suddenly it stopped working. Coast replaced the flashlight without any hassle whatsoever. Can?t beat that!!

Super small flashlight. I like to use it for a quick grab to fix something situated in the dark. It?s small enough to throw into a pocket but puts out plenty of light.

Decent flashlight but the previous generation of G10 was better and brighter. It also had a bulls eye spot beam instead of the current inspection beam.

I bought this one 4 years ago and have used it daily ever since. Recently bought 3 more as gifts for family - they are delighted.

Nice size, bright light, good battery life. Downside is they don't last for very long.i don't abuse the light ,yet in less than a year of light duty use it starts to not work, unless you tap it against a hard surface. I've warranted several over the years. Company is great as they stand behind their product.

Not the same flashlight. Mine had hole for keychain which is why I bought & frequently used it. The replacement G10 doesn?t have the keyhole so the replacement is uuseless.

This is a very handy intense pen light. It fits in a small "essentials" purse, or in most pockets. The light can be used with o e hand. I have had no problems with it turning itself on inside my purse.

I love my G10. It?s very powerful for its size. The only thing I wish is that it had a lanyard loop on the end cap. Coast products are very well made, and the guarantee, and customer service is the best!

I got this as a warranty replacement for an LED penlight I had for 15 years but stopped working. I was using it to search my utility and ?junk? drawers and the circular spot light beam really is perfect for that purpose. But it is limited to the spot beam. And there was no place to affix a lanyard. The black with red ring is cool but hard to locate in my dark drawers. (I keep it in one location so that?s not an issue for me. Overall, near perfect for me. And the warranty claim/customer service was a breeze.

New inspection light is powerful, inexpensive and not battery-hungry

Suffering from a low vision condition I maneuver about using an ID (white) cane. (ID canes serve two purposes. 1.) to allow me to watch ahead without having to look for obstacles to trip over. 2.) to become obvious to others that I have visual issues and to watch out for me. The Coast G10 is conveniently pocket sized so that I can keep it handy to identify obstacles ahead of time, plus it is small enough to hold in the same hand as the cane thereby illuminating the cane so others can see it in dark theaters & restaurants. It?s narrow focused beam is very bright yet it doesn?t light up the periphery drawing undue attention.

Full Disclosure: Coast provided me the G10, G15, and G19 lights in order for me to test them 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) G10 vs. G15 vs. G19 2) What I Don't Like 3) Build Quality/Overview 4) Weight 5) Operation and Modes 6) Charging Port 7) Charging and Battery 8) Performance On Lithium-ion Battery 9) Charge Time/Battery Satistics 10) Thoughts/Why I'd Go With The A5 Instead The Individual Topics Begin Here: Note: I'm only going to refer to a single light as all three lights are basically the same. Everything mentioned is applicable to all three light unless specifically noted otherwise. 1) G10 vs. G15 vs. G19: ? These three lights are identical. The only difference is their clips ? The G10 has no clip ? The G15 has a mounting clip able to clip onto objects and allows the light to be swiveled in different positions ? The G19 has a normal pocket clip ? All the clips are removable and interchangeable between any of these three lights 2) What I Don't Like: ? I wished they were all a bit brighter ? The beam isn't quite uniform. The perfect circle of light it creates is brighter towards one side 3) Build Quality/Overview: ? The light feels premium. With semi-coarse knurling, it feels nice to hold ? It is entirly made of high strength 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 4) Weight: ? 1.38 oz (39 grams). That's about the weight of 7 United States Quarters 5) 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 6) Charging Port: ? No charging port built into the light itself. Instead, there is a Micro-USB charging port built into the optional ZX100 battery 7) Battery and Charging: ? The light is powered by 1 alkiline AAA battery. It can also run on the Coast ZX100 lithium-ion rechargeable battery ? The ZX100 battery is a standard 10440 battery ? The ZX100 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 8) Performance On Lithium-ion Battery: ? I didn't notice any performance/brightness increase when running it on the optional ZX100 battery compared to an alkiline AAA battery 9) Charge Time/Battery Satistics: ZX100: Rated Capacity: 200 mah Tested Capacity: 164 mah Built-In USB On Battery: Charge Speed: 310 mah Time: 36 minutes 10) Thoughts/Why I'd Go With The A5 Instead: Overall, I think these lights are very handy. They are tiny and very unobtrusive. The G19 is perfect to keep on your belt. The G10 is a great light to keep in a purse or go bag. The G15 is a great light for automotive or as general work light as you can clip it on a hat or objects. I wish all three lights were a tad brighter though. For me though, I'd actually go with the A5 pen light over any of these. The A5 is a tad smaller than these three lights both in height and in diameter and made of higher quality materials; stainless steel compared to aluminum. The A5 also has a much more even beam. Although, its one down side is that it isn't fully compatible with the ZX100 or other 10440 batteries. Some of the A5 lights aren't able to accept the ZX100 as the battery is too tight and gets stuck inside the body. That isn't the case for all of them though. Some A5 lights are able to fit the ZX100. I prefer the A5 regardless as I think it has a much classier look and feel.

Very nice light. Perfect for carrying in pocket or purse. Gives a lot of light when you need it the most.

I have carried a Coast G10 in my pocket for a decade. The switch finally wore out, so I bought another.

I was looking for a small, powerful flashlight that I could carry easily. I was amazed at the reflective optics. It produces an even circle of light. There was no distortion in the light. I originally found it at Ace Hardware but when I returned to buy more, several years later, they didn't have them. The Coast website had them at the same price so I bought six more. I keep one in each glove compartment of my cars. I carry one when I walk the dog at night to pick up after it. The only way it could be better is if had a protecting cover of some sort.

I am never without a G10... fits great in a pocket... batteries last a long time, (if i remember to turn it off. Also have one each on my desk, dresser and cup holder in car. These things are super durable and reliable. I wore the switches out on 3 of my 4 year old G10s, I called 800#, asked to buy new switches, they said "send the flashlights in, we will send you new ones". Three brand new latest version G10s with improved switches arrived in my mailbox... FREE. That's what i call a warranty.

As a OTR truck driver, I take pre-trip inspections very seriously. Using the Coast G10 certainly helps with this task. With it's focused beam I can inspect specific areas like fifth wheel pin lock, brake chambers, air tanks, etc. This light is comfortable in my front pocket, is bright and focused and it's single AAA battery lasts fairly long if I remember to turn it off. This is my second G10 and I wouldn't travel without one again.

I got this with my Coast Crew points, just to use them before the end of the year. But as always I was impressed with the quality. Coast has become my go to brand for lights and knives. I never leave home with out a Coast knife ( the FX414 most of the time and now my little G10 flashlight. Don't let its size fool you, its got power.
