Sweet deal on led pen lights @ HD 5$ each

[CustomCareDetailing]

I got 3 from my local HD last night and did the survey online for the "free" one just to support the company. The hoarder in me wants to go back to the store and get the rest of the ones in stock

 

[franksgiants]

I have to get one!Thanks

 

[wellpoison]

i believe the one they send you is the g10.

Bought 4, the only ones around here. These are actually REALLY nice for $3... better fit/finish than a maglite it appears, and instead of just a bulb they actually have some simple optics so there is a nicely focused beam.

Great find OP thanks! I thought a pen light deal would certainly be a POS to be honest

Coast also makes a 96 lumen version in about the same packaging, the HP4... makes me want one!

Can anyone confirm that?

So basically $5 for a g10?

$3.50 for a G10, $3 for the G20...

i saw a youtube video of some guy opening up and he said he bought the g20 and followed the instructions. it was a nice g10 in a pretty sweet box too. I paid the 3.50 for shipping and it said about 4 weeks for shipping. ill keep you guys posted.

Is there a hole on the G10 to attach to a key ring?

 

[greasemonkey44]

Ditto, picked up six myself. I was going to pick up one or two when they were $5 bucks each but i'm glad I waited a bit. Luckily the store nearest me was the only one who had any in stock (11). thanks O.P.

I got my three free lights I ordered tonight. A little bummed as I was expecting G10"s using a single AAA; but received G5"s. Really decent light for their size at 33 lumens however they use four AG5 watch batteries which seems like an inconvience to resupply as I rarely have those on hand. Also the run time in approx only 30 min for the G5 and a little over the 2 Hrs. for the G10 @ 18 lumens. Just curious to what other get for their free ones.

I got the same same thing as you did. Aa little bummed also.

 

[wellpoison]

Got a g5 too. Not a bad light for a key ring. I'm not bummed I didn't get the g10. It just makes me keep the g20 as my edc

 

[mooman]

Ditto here. I got the G5 as well.

I think they got a heads up HD was gonna be selling them for cheap so they would be getting a lot of inquiries for a "free" gift.

Problem with that theory is they include the offer with every light they sold. So no matter if they sold full price or discount, every person got the offer and has the opportunity to get one.

The reason they make they buyer pay shipping for the "free" light is to actually discourage most people who are usually too lazy to even deal with it.

Also ended up recieving the G5. Anyone else have troubles with the on/off button not working very well? Mine acts like it is not making a good contact at times and the light flickers intermittently or won't turn on at all. I'm kind of disappointed, but for $3.50 what can one expect

i agree, what i mean though was that some received the g10 and others the g5. i think they knew a lot of requests were coming and sending a bunch of g5s would be a lot cheaper then g10s.

i should pay another 3.50 and see if they send me the g10, hmmm.

Wait till March. Wife called Coast today to ask what was up and a lady said 20,000 requsts for these free lights came in fairly recently and they ran out of the G10's. Said they would have more by March. My wife said its because of the people on Garage Journal and she laughed.

I'm having the same problem with mine. I don't care if it was only $3.50 or not, Coast shouldn't put their good name on a piece of ****.

Recieved a G5 also. Please thank your wife for taking the time to call and sharing the result. Appreciate for the scoop about waiting till March.

Out of 4, one of mine is already dead and it died just sitting there. Have to pay $5 + shipping to send it in for the lifetime warranty so not worth it. Hopefully the others last longer - I like them!

I called them on 2/13 and was also told they recieved 20,000 requests and ran out of G10. I would have been happy to wait for more G10 to arrive but I guess Coast figured folks would get upset if they had to wait for their gift, so they shipped the closest equivalent (G 5) they had on hand.

I mentioned my disappointment in the G5, and without saying more the lady asked if the light was flickering, etc. I said yes I was having those same issues...so Coast is aware that these G5's have problems with working properly. The lady took my name and number, said more g10's will be coming in around Feb 28th. She told me she would contact me for my shipping info when they came in and send me out a free G10, did not ask for me to return the G5. I will follow-up if I don't hear back, but seems like pretty good customer service in making things right.

I bet the majority of those who sent the requests in are the hoarders from slickdeals. I recently received the HP7 as a gift and I still haven't sent my request for a free light. I wish I was able to get one of these pen lights but they've been oos here for quite awhile.
