Still within the reply period and preparing a reply . <| sep |> Means that even if a driver is dominant . He could loose out on a restart . Bad if it ' s your driver . Great if not <| sep |> I would never recommend a Coast light as BIFL . We get a ~ 75 % discount on them at the hangar , so the vast majority of the mechanics carry them and they are constantly breaking . They also use overpriced proprietary rechargeable batteries . You want a BIFL flashlight ? Buy Fenix . I have used and abused 3 of them over the past ~ 6 years , none has failed . First two were little AA models . I had one for four years of abuse , it was dropped , tossed , edge used as a hammer , submerged , and never once failed . Accidentally left it under my hood and drove off I hope someone found it on the road and got good use out of it ! Next one I had for a year or two of the same treatment , never once flickered or dimmed . I gave that one away to a newbie on the redc forum along with a Zebra F 701 with the f 402 clicker swapped in , Leatherman Sidekick , and a Boker Magnum Micro . Im currently carrying a Fenix UC 35 I ' ve had for over a year . It ' s faced the same treatment as the previous ones , as well as an occasional skipping trip across the tarmac as I smile smugly at a coworker lamenting his broken Coast . It ' s never failed . I managed the crack the lens by dropping it 15 ft to concrete , the light still works . I emailed Fenix to ask if I could buy a new lens and they sent me a whole new head unit without question . Haven ' t swapped it yet , gonna use the cracked one till it fails .
