For me is a will have to have in car now
By A. M.
Swiss+tech crank Flashlight Test Results
It's not heavy, but is big: 9.5" tall and 2" thick at the top part. Will take up galore space to store.
Used stopwatch to time this.
1. After full discharge - 1 minute crank
Flashlight: About 4 minutes, lost 70-80% intensity, in 5 minutes full discharge. Good sufficient (compared to other such flashlights which do far worse), so I find this reliable.
Is utile in a lot of ways: for checking engine, tires, power failure at home etc
2. After full discharge - 1 minute crank
Emergency red beacon (blink/siren) (without siren as volume was kept on zero)
At in regards to 28 minutes, started loosing intensity. At 41 minutes, rather dim, 46 mnts in truth low, 49 mnts still blinking but in truth low - not usable. So I'll stop here.
3. After full discharge - 1 minute crank
Radio - volume at mid level, good until 9 minutes, then volume goes down and in a few minutes stops.
This I think is a distinctive device, with siren, beacon, flashlight, radio, hammer, seat belt cutter.....
I find this dependable and will keep in my center console in my car where I may blindly reach it in case of emergency.

Nice multi function tool
By PLC_books
I wanted a car-escape tool that also had a flashlight and a dynamo crank to recharge it. This was one of three I found and I went with this one because it looks flatter and more comfortable to store. The radio is a nice addition so it may double as a disaster circumstance news source. I also actually like that the rechargeable batteries are removable AA batteries so if you already have other methods to recharge the same type of batteries, you may recharge them with other rechargers and then put them in this tool. It may go the other way too, if you feel like cranking for two hours, you may to the full or entire extent recharge two AA rechargeable batteries for other electronics 
. There's an optional AC adapter you may buy and connect to this tool to recharge the batteries that way or run the lights/radio off AC power. I couldn't find the adapter online for sale so in all likelihood have to call swiss+tech for it. Everything that I tested works. I didn't test the hammer on any windows but it looks solid. I didn't test the seat belt cutter on anything other than paper so not sure how sharp it is. I didn't test if backup batteries would work.
Minus 1 star for the dynamo causing lots of static/interference on AM radio, so you can't crank while you listen to AM radio. But FM radio, lights, sirens work while cranking. Also it is 10 inches long, which is more spectacular than I expected but it still fits in the center console of my '98 Accord. But that's more of a mark versus the seller/Amazon for lack of selective information on it is dimensions.
