Coast’s Ultra-Tough, Rechargeable POLYSTEEL

Flashlight Shines at NHS

Patented. Waterproof. Unique Design. Multiple Colors.

Portland, OR, May 1, 2017 – Coast Products continuously sets new industry standards – and the new POLYSTEEL 600R continues the company’s reputation for producing high-quality, innovative flashlights. This brilliant, rugged, rechargeable flashlight includes an array of features. It’s waterproof, nearly indestructible and incredibly bright – up to 710 lumens. The light’s unique design uses a stainless-steel core to ensure maximum strength. It is then covered with a very strong, easy to grip polymer body. It is built to perform dependably in the most demanding environments, perfect for indoor and outdoor projects where durability and reliability are must-have features.

Coast will exhibit the POLYSTEEL 600R and a wide variety of LED flashlights, headlamps, lanterns, knives and multi-tools during the National Hardware Show (NHS) from May 9 - 11 at Booth 6437 in the Las Vegas Convention Center. Coast products offer advanced quality and innovation, built with the latest patented and proprietary features and technology. They are a must-see for every professional, DIYer, retailer and distributor in the hardware and home improvement industry.

Multiple Power Options, Limitless Flexibility

The all-new POLYSTEEL 600R LED flashlight is dual-powered, able to operate using its high-quality lithium rechargeable battery pack or with standard alkaline batteries. The lithium battery pack also includes an out port, which allows the recharging of other devices that use USB cords via the battery pack.

For Heavy-Duty Use, Every Day

The unique crosshatched, textured industrial body makes the POLYSTEEL 600R extremely comfortable to grip and ergonomic to use.
