COAST Inspection Lights Are a Cut Above
The inspection line of COAST products has been a top "go - to" place for obtaining a specific type of flashlight that is far superior to competing brands. Simply, the well-defined circle of light serves to exclude peripheral matters that do not need to be looked at. In fact, using the COAST inspection types is akin to using a microscope.

Excellent light
Had it for 2 years and the little pushbutton snapped off.
Got another one on warranty 1 week later.

Great value
Nice form factor for pocket light. Bright enough for most shop type environments. Decent quality and long battery life.

It's a handy light to have for engine work.
I do love these little lights. The inspection light isn't very bright compared to the mini Maglite with LED that I also carry in the same jacket pocket, but it'll get the job done if I drop a wrench.

My go-to flashlight.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have the G20 flashlight in my pocket at all times. All times that I am awake, at least. Even before I worked in emergency services, I liked to keep a dependable flashlight with me. But finding a flashlight that checked all of the boxes was tough. This flashlight is it! Big enough to fit in my hand well, but small enough that I don't notice it in my pocket. Bright enough to be useful, but still has a very good battery life. And the price is right.
Something I am picky about with flashlights is the button or switch that operates it. For a flashlight that is going to be used a LOT, the button or switch has to be simple to use, durable, and it can't turn on accidentally. They got it right with the G20 - a single button on the tail cap with a simple on/off function. There is no cycling through functions. The light simply turns on every time you need it to. The rubber tail cap button is durable too. I have had other brands of flashlights where the rubber cap come off after time. But the button and rubber cap on the G20 hold up very well, even with a LOT of use.
Besides the batteries lasting a very long time, my favorite feature on this flashlight is the crisp "inspection beam." The light's color, intensity, and clarity are perfect for focusing on a specific task. Yet the beam is bright and focused enough that you can light your way in the woods at night, for example, with a small penlight.
The only improvement I would make to this flashlight is adding a rubber coated section maybe an inch down from the tail cap. This would allow the light to be held between the teeth comfortably for hands-free work.
I have bought more than one of these flashlights for myself, and a few as gifts. I recommend the G20 flashlight, and COAST flashlights in general.

A great accessible tool.
The G20 Coast inspection flash light is a quality product superior in construction, durability and illumination. Its slim design and pocket clip makes it a highly accessible tool.

Great Everyday Carry
The G20 is a great little light for everyday use. I use mine at estate sales to see in places that many people miss. Been using one for many years now and will be using one for years to come.

Timesaver if you can remember its in your pocket
Great little light..Always have a new one on the shelf. In the back of my front pocket I can't tell its there. Not the brightest but a super time saver for me. Several people are getting one from me for christmas. I have had the clips break somehow.

Great work light
Great flashlight, I've owned several over the years. I usually end up losing them. I finally had one quit on me. It was well used and coast still warrantied it. I just answered some questions and sent some pictures and they took care it. While on their website I seen that they had the light on sale in red color so I got a couple of them the new ones seem to have a heavier pocket clip. So far it works well and stays put in my pocket. The red color should make it easier to find if I drop it. I've been getting black ones as that is all our home improvement store had. Great beam for the kind of work I do.

Almost Perfect
I have several of these, and I love them. Lots of light, good battery life, and a simple on/off switch (not multi-level brightness). The only downside is that the spot is relatively small, and isn't adjustable.

Great Penlight
The COAST G20 is a really good penlight, the information for it doesn’t say how many lumens it is but i'm pretty sure it's about 50. The flashlight isn’t bright enough for something like hiking at night but it's great for indoors or outside projects. The flashlight is very small and thin so it's easy to carry wherever you go. The O-ring on the lens of mine fell out but mine appeared to be waterproof(even though it isn’t advertised as so). The pocket clip of mine breaks but you can order replacements so it's easy to fix. Overall the G20 is a great light and I would definitely recommend it.

Super Durable
Mine went through an entire cycle in the washer after I accidentally left it in my pocket. I expected it would be ruined, but it still works just fine. Super quality product!

Great little light for every day use.
I bought two of these little beauties in colors matching the cars they'll be used in. I believe in being prepared with a flashlight at all times, and there are jobs that are no good for a camera light. The focused light on this flashlight is perfect for most peek-under-the-hood jobs. Couldn't be happier with this little light.

Love this little light. The spot beam is excellent for technician work whether it's a back room cabinet or above the ceiling tile. It slips in my pocket.

Perfect little light
I actually bought this in a big box store and it died on me. I reached out to Coast and warrantied it out. Will see how long the new one lasts. While waiting for the warranty replacement, I did order another one to have as a backup...or this is the backup...whatever. I suppose that tells you that I like the light since i bought another.
The light is great I use it as an inspection light. The circle that the light throws is nice and crisp and I can actually use it as a pointer for others if I hold it close enough to the weld to point to an area.
If I had to pick one thing that i didn't totally like, the button is wobbly. If you put a finger on it is moves back and forth and if you don't have it perfectly centered, it is more difficult to push. One other improvement that could be made is an anti roll bezel. While the clip keeps it from moving too much, I have had it roll off my work because I set it too close to the edge to leave room for the clip to catch when it rolled.
Attached a couple pictures (at my desk) showing the light in different sizes depending on how close you are to the object and a photo of the light itself.
