I TAKE MY MINI CRANK ON EVERY TRIP. IT HAS SAVED MY HINEY FROM THE HIGH SIERRA NEVADA MOUNTAINS TO THE SOUTH PACIFIC ISLANDS OF FIJI. MY HONEY ALWAYS LAUGHS AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE NOISE OF ME CRANKING GOES THROUGH THE HOUSE.........BUT I CAN GET UP AND USE THE BATHROOM, NOT DISTURB THE CAT, CHECK ON STRANGE NOISES, ETC. ALL WITHOUT DISTURBING ANYONE AT HOME. WHAT A DEAL ! AND IT'S NEVER LET ME DOWN IN OVER TWO YEARS OF VERY FREQUENT USE.
Perfect for a hand bag, car, bicycle, or anything else you may need it for. I love the fact that you do not need to worry about batteries. The mini gives off enough light to find your way in the dark.
I have two boys who like to play with our flashlights quite often. Problem was they never turned them off which wasted the batteries. These are great for them beacuse if they leave them on they know they will have to crank them up when it's time to use them again. We also have one in our bedroom in case the power fails. Even in the dark all you have to do is crank it (if needed) and don't have to fumble around replacing dead batteries. Very durable. These have been dropped many times and still work like new.
