Grab 30% of a Sleek EDC Knife and LED Lights This Father's Day
The latest car news, reviews, and features.
Practical gear outfitter Coast was established about a century ago, introducing Oregon fishermen to a specialty blade for filleting 50-pound salmon. Today, Coast makes some of the best-value pocket knives and compact flashlights that are perfect for everyday carry duty, no matter what you do for work. For Father's Day (and from now through June 30) you can snag some great gear at a deep discount.
No need to wait for your kids or spouse to be gift-shopping for you—check out Coast's site and get something in the mail for yourself. Its products are all pretty reasonably priced, but the discount code FATHERSDAY30 knocks 30% off, putting quite a few items in the Coast catalog into impulse-buy territory. You get free shipping if your order's over $75, too.
I've been carrying this Coast Founder's Series Select Titanium tanto-blade knife for a couple of weeks now and been loving it. The titanium handle construction gives it a super lightweight but high-end feel, and the flip-open action is smooth and satisfying. It's been ripping its way through cardboard, rope, cable ties, and all the other random things I find myself piercing with my pocket knife, no problem. But the slim profile is my favorite design feature. The three-inch blade's plenty big enough to be versatile, but when folded, this knife only takes up about as much room as a pen, fitting easily into the mini-pockets of my jeans and compact holsters in my work pants. The blade comes with a little cleaning cloth and a presentation box. Andrew P. Collins Tucks perfectly into into tiny pockets and pen-sized holsters. Andrew P. Collins
It's normally $99.99, down to about $70 during the Father's Day sale. You still need to spend a few more bucks to get free shipping, but luckily, Coast also has some nice lighting accessories you could use to finish building out a nice little new EDC loadout. Coast
The XT10R 280-lumen penlight will also fit in a tiny pocket, and it's USB-C rechargeable for convenience. It has three brightness settings and strong construction without weighing you down. Perfect for poking around dark places where you don't necessarily want to dangle your smartphone. That's normally $34.99, just about $27 with the discount. Coast
If you need more extreme illumination but still want something with a slim profile, check out Coast's Slayer-series flashlights. They're over 1000 lumens, and some models are equipped with a laser pointer. And with a magnetic base, you can clamp it to a piece of truck frame and have it locked in place while you're working. No more counting on your kid to hold the light steady! They start at $79.99, currently on sale for about $58. Coast
Another high-powered lighting option is Coast's RL35R headlamp. Also over 1000 lumens, it offers plenty of brightness while keeping your hands truly free—you don't even need to touch it to turn it on and off because it's equipped with voice-activated controls.
A headlamp is essential for pretty much any automotive project—no matter how well-lit your garage is, there are still dark corners of an engine bay. That's also $79.99 list, $58 on sale. Coast
Finally, if you're looking for scene lighting rather than daily carry gear, the EAL55R 3000-lumen camp lantern can light up the inside of your tent or a camp table area easily. Multiple modes and different colors change the ambiance or deter insects, and it can last up to 10 nights of lighting on a charge. That lists at $69.99 and will be about $50 with the discount code.
It might be a little late to get stuff shipped in time for Father's Day, but there's still plenty of time to get a great deal on some practical gear from Coast.
