COAST Polysteel 600 Flashlight

These are great flashlights for our oilfield inspection teams. We tested out a lot of flashlights and settled on these a few years ago. We do inspection on drill pipe an other oilfield tools. We needed something that is durable and water resistant. Also we didn’t something we could adjust the brightness and beam which this hit all the marks. Doing inspection on pipe we have to be able to look inside a 30ish foot joint for damages. Some flashlights were too dim to see good and others were too bright so it washed out being able to see damages. These flashlights hit the sweet spot and does have 3 brightness levels plus the adjustable beam so they work perfect. Only bad thing I would say is these are fairly large. A lot in inspectors like to carry these bright ass pocket lights because they are convenient but like I said above, we were missing damages because of washout. These are all we buy now for our teams.

I bought three of these based on my experience with two similar-model Coast branded flashlights I picked up a year earlier at Home Depot. These are extremely well made, extremely durable, and waterproof/shockproof just like they're advertised. The optics in them is top notch and it projects a bright flood or a really tight super bright beam, and everything in between. One of the great design features is the recessed lens: you can toss one of these in a tool box with no fear of the lens getting scratched or damaged like many others do, because the others have the lens right there at the face of the light. I'm a satisfied customer. My only gripe is they should offer these with a simple on/off function; the three brightness levels is a goofy thing. Click on, click off--that's all I need. I'm just glad they didn't include the idiotic flashy disco strobe like many makers do. That is a useless feature in a flashlight, unless you're a mall ninja who needs it to dazzle bad guys in the dark while you're on a secret mission.

This light is awesome. Takes 4 standard AA batteries. Not some random size you've never heard of. I work around planes at FedEx Express Indianapolis and have to do a plane walk-around inspection right after the plane comes in. This light can light up the whole side of any of the planes we have. It's seriously impressive. I use the thing for about a half hour a night and have been using it for 2 weeks so about 4 hours total on its high setting. Side note, I didn't even realize it had more than one setting as it always turns on in the last setting it was in. Awesome feature as most cheap lights don't do this. Anyway, battery life is awesome and it's not that big. Definitely not the size of a 2 D cell maglite as someone else stated. Maybe a single D cell if they made those. It's got this extremely durable plastic on the outside that protects it greatly. Dropped it off a loader at work that was about 20 feet up and it didn't scratch it. Incredible. I can't say enough good things. The focus on it works great too and it's definitely waterproof. I love this thing. Highly recommended

A nice, bright flashlight. I would have preferred it to be a little longer to accommodate use of 3 or 4 C cell batteries for a much longer usage. This unit looks like it was originally made to house 2 C cell batteries and use a standard PR-2 incandescent bulb.

I own at least 30 flashlights. Mostly Streamlight, Fenix, Olight, and Coast. This 600 is the only flashlight you will ever need. It's so great, I'm about to buy my 4th. Two I have given as gifts and one is going to be my sons, to replace his coast 200 which is ok, but when compared side to side, not nearly as good. The run times are awesome, it's waterproof and nearly indestructible. 4AA batteries are common and cheap. What more could you ask for. Just buy it, you won't be sorry.

I own too many Coast lights to count... or 9, and this is the one to beat them all. Don't get me wrong they are all super bright and have good run times and functionality... but this one is in a league of it's own. Don't let the fact that it's made of plastic sway you. This light is just as tough and durable as any of Coast's other lights, if not even more so than others. It has become my new go-to light. The flood beam will light up an entire camp site and the spot beam will go further than I could ever really need it to. And the three modes are great too. High is almost too bright for indoor use and low gives useable light with an astonishing run time. Cycling through them is easy with the momentary on feature using a half press of the button and easy to lock in with a full press of the button. Focusing is also super quick. About one half of a turn is all that it takes to go from full flood to bullseye spot. What else can I say? I love this light! Try using some nice disposable lithium batteries for even higher performance. I did and there is a noticeable difference over the cheap batteries that came with it.

We received one of these as an Xmas gift about 15years ago it utilizes AA batteries, unfortunately our original the batteries leaked all over inside & destroyed the flash light. And since it was a gift & we don’t have the purchase information we were unable to turn it over to the companies lifetime warranty. All in all the flashlight is not very heavy, zooms between a wide beam & focused light very easily, I can see all the way across our backyard with it & the light is very bright. So we bought a new one! Well worth the double purchase they also now have rechargeable ones just like this is you are willing to spend a little more & not have to hassle with battery replacement. We have a drawer full of very expensive Mag lights all different sizes & this is the flashlight I always grab first…Won’t regret this purchase

Una bestia parda en el mundo de las linternas. Bien acabada. El tubo principal es metálico recubierto de resina/nylon que se ve resistente. En el tubo cabe la mano completa, y sobresale por delante el cabezal y por detrás la tapa con el pulsador, quiero decir con esto que no es una linterna de bolsillo, pero se ve muy sólida y perfecta potencia. He descubierto recientemente en un viaje la marca Coast Portland y las opiniones siempre son buenas, por lo que he comprado dos unidades de este modelo para los momentos en los que necesito buena luz y razonable autonomía teniendo en cuenta las potencias disponibles. Recomiendo el uso de pilas de litio para evitar fugas con alcalinas. Se entrega con un conjunto de pilas alcalinas Coast de alto rendimiento. Al agotarlas pondré baterías primarias de litio (no recargables). Muy recomendable.

I have only had this for a short while, but cannot fault it at this time . . . good bright light, not too heavy and looks bullet proof.

Solid torch. Very bright. Definitely waterproof as I have tested it. Would buy again if I needed to.

Compre esta linterna con un solo uso en mente, tenerla en el cajon a la mano para en caso de una emergencia de cualquier indole. intruso, sismo, incnedio o lo que sea ya que hace unos meses mi linterna super costosa surefire no resistio una caida de mi comoda al suelo dejandome sin ella cuando mas la necesitaba!!!! Esta linterma aunque es grande es a prueba de TODO! es sumegible hasta 1.5 metros por 30 min. salpicaduras, caidas, golpes fuertes etc. ademas de tener un haz de luz de 700 lumenes usa baterias ya sea alkalinas o recargables AA lo cual le da un plus ENORME ya que estas baterias ademas de durar mucho almacendas puedes encontrarlas en cualquier parte del mundo dandole ahsta 2.5 hrs de uso continuo en su maxima potencia!!!!!! Tiene corona dentada para ser usada en defensa en caso de ser necesario

Bright, no joke! This is Amazing at turning night to day. In a mine , void of light this is an awesome piece of gear. Well built, no concerns of it breaking. A good bang for your buck!
