A must-have safety essential
Flashlights are the kind of thing you never think about until you REALLY need one. A crank flashlight like this one is perfect because you don't have to worry about making sure the batteries are charged!<br /><br />I keep one of these in my car, and a couple throughout the house. The light is plenty bright enough for emergency use -- it goes without saying that it's a heck of a lot better than nothing! :)<br /><br />It's decently made, despite the bargain bin price. The surface is slightly rubberized, and it's a good size for my hand: not too small, but easily fits into a pocket, drawer, or glovebox. The crank feels solid enough that I don't worry about breaking it, and it's placed in a way that makes it easy enough to wind.<br /><br />If I had to find things to nitpick, the strap isn't really all that great, and the on/off switch is a bit awkward to use. Hardly worth complaining about, especially for the price.
