Our take on the COAST Polysteel 650 LED Flashlight

The COAST Polysteel 650 is a rugged handheld flashlight built around COAST's Polysteel polymer-and-steel body, rated crushproof, drop-proof and storm-proof. It puts out up to 740 lumens with a beam reaching about 266 meters, and the Twist Focus system slides between a wide flood and a tight spot by turning the head. It runs on four AA batteries and carries an IP54 rating, so it shrugs off rain and splashes but is not meant for submersion. It suits campers, truck owners and anyone who wants a tough, simple light; rivals in this class often add rechargeable batteries or higher water ratings, while this one trades those for AA convenience and impact resistance.
