Kaito KA404 Emergency Hand Crank Dynamo 5-LED Flashlight with AM/FM radio

If you are thinking about getting this just go ahead and do it. It is very inexpensive and it is not flimsy. The radio sounds clear, the crank is fairly well made, and it holds a charge well. The only negative comment I have to make is that you have to hunt for an adapter for the power output.

It seems to work just fine, although the charge on the LED light doesn't last too long. Still, it's just a hand-crank away from shining brightly again. The 3-LED and 5-LED option included on the same flashlight are a nice way of being able to adjust the level of light that is needed. I've also had the "shaker" model of flashlight and it just seemed like it was more effort than the crank type of flashlight and that they often couldn't come equipped with additional features such as a radio due to the rapid shaking required for them. Also, I like that the crank feature is easy for a child to use. This is not a very expensive item so it makes a good gift, but you do get what you pay for which means this is mostly lightweight plastic and I think I had one of the knobs unscrew after a short while. For the price, you get a lot, though, and it's cheap enough to warrant purchase for the home and the car.

This product is okay for an emergency, and it is convenient to not need batteries. The light could be brighter.

Great product. I mainly use it to hang in my tent and read under. This is very light weight and lasts. The radio actually picks up stations even in some remote places. I'm looking forward to finding the right adapter to charge my cell phone.

Since I got it, I left it in my car, only one night I felt it is absolutely a need on the road ! It helps me when I crank it and light the area I need to see...

It is a great flashlight and great radio !
