If you are looking for a great everyday carry LED flashlight, I may have found the one for you.  The Coast PX25 is a rugged little light saber from a Oregon company.  Below is my latest HD stress test video, filmed on the beach, and in the water in Seaside, OR. 

You wouldn’t expect a light that can easily fit in your palm to be so powerful, but the Coast PX25 LED flashlight boasts 208 lumens.  That’s hardcore.  It even came with three AAA Duracell batteries, so it was ready to go.  Also included was a useful belt sheath, which I will actually use.  Plus, you get a wrist strap for extra security.  All this, for an MSRP of just $42.  That’s a bargain to me.

If you watch my review, you’ll also see how the Bulls Eye Spot beam works.  This style gives you an awesome focused spot, with a wide flood light.  It’s a great design.  The PX25 is made of aluminum, so it’s tough.  And the LED light is UNBREAKABLE.  Trust me, I tried to shatter it, to no avail.  Coast thought of everything, and this may be my favorite flashlight ounce for ounce.  Speaking of it’s 4.2 ounces with the batteries.  I use it as part of my EDC.  It’s just the right size, and isn’t too wide.  It’s 1.1 inches wide, and 4.7 inches long.  The runtime on the PX25 is 6 hours 15 minutes.  Impressive.  Plus, the beam blasts 128 meters, so it covers ground like a champ.

I’d talk trash about the PX25 if I could, but Coast Products made a great tool here, it even stood up to me beating it on the cement.  Just don’t put the battery pack in backwards.  This is a must have in my opinion.  Enjoy the video I produced.  More fun stress test videos soon.  Thanks for visiting Survival Bros.  For additional information on this product visit http://www.coastportland.com

Kershaw Blur Glassbreaker Knife Stress Test And Review (MODEL 1670GBBLKST)

kershaw blur gbThis is the blade I carry every day.  It’s the famous Kershaw Blur, but with a carbide tip designed to shatter glass with ease.  It does, as you can see in my video review below.  

I’ve been testing the Kershaw Blur for 2 months now.  I love it.  It’s quality, and produced locally in Tualatin, OR.  I rep gear made in the USA as much as possible, especially Oregon.  The first thing that fascinated me with the knife is the unique design.  It’s beautiful.  Simple.  Elegant.  The subtle curves are sexy.  I couldn’t wait to get her out of the box.  Initially, I noticed how fine the blade is.  It’s razor sharp.  Also, I was impressed with how well the scallops cut.  Slicing through materials like cardboard, plastic, rope, and paper is effortless, and so is opening it, thanks to the SpeedSafe assist.  It flies out, and feels extremely secure in place with the liner lock.

Another excellent feature is the rigid angled thumb studs.  You wouldn’t believe how easy it is to grip the nubs, and whip it out.  Kershaw really made something special with the Blur.  They even upgraded the steel in this new version to Sandvik 14C28N with DLC coating.  So it’s tough.  Which brings me to the tiny carbide tip embedded in the aircraft aluminum handle.  People don’t even notice the special tip at first, but believe me, it works.  I broke a sheet of glass in my video, plus several bottles with minimal effort.  The glass breaking feature is one I have to have on my EDC knife.  It could save my life if I’m ever trapped in a vehicle, and it’s not bad for self defense either.  

The Kershaw Blur is a great size, and light at only 4.2 ounces.  I like the blade length too, at 3 3/8″.  The overall length is 7 7/8″, and 4 1/2″ closed.  And the belt clip is removable, so you can have the tip up or down.  In the end, this is the knife I trust with my life right now.  It’s blacked out, and stealth.  But above all, it’s well made, and sharp as hell.  Survival Bros gives it 5 Stars.  I can’t complain about it at all, besides the handles getting a little scratched up after smashing so much glass.  I go into more detail in my HD video review below.  Please comment, and feel free to ask me any questions about it.  Thanks for visiting Survival Bros – Emergency Preparedness.

It beams 32 lumens. That’s excellent considering its compact size. 1 X AAA battery included. And for the record, the light is 3.5 inches in length, with a 2.75 hour runtime. The G10 is perfect for your EDC (every day carry). The lightweight tactical aluminum casing is tough. The LED light is unbreakable.
