I bought two of these hand-cranked mini flashlights as stocking stuffers for my grandchildren, ages 5 and 3. I was looking for a small flashlight that wasn't a blinding light...as kids tend to shine them in adults' faces..., didn't use up batteries and was easy to hand crank. These flashlights fit the bill and the kids loved them. My only complaint is that the flashlights are so small that they are awkward to crank.

I bought this for a three-year old, and it was very easy for him to figure out and use. Cool gift.

Bought three of these as gifts for kids age 4 and under. They love them! I was surprised how bright the little thing is considering the price. I'm thinking of buying a bunch more to stash around the house, as it seems my flashlights' batteries are always dead when I want to use them.

I bought this for a gift so I didn't open the package. I am trusting it will be an awesome gift for my 3 young grandsons. If I am not happy, I will let you know. They appear to be very nice. I especially like the size so they can go on a keychain, pocket, etc.

I was a little skeptical but this little doo-dad really does work. If you don't need 30 minutes of light you can turn it off and use it again later. I can't speak to the durability of it since we haven't had it long. It isn't for lighting up a whole room but if you need some light in a pinch, there it is. We'll keep it in our "power outage" flashlight supply and I may buy some to include in shoebox gifts for Operation Christmas Child.

Works as expected.... small - perfect size for small hands. Fun in the dark and great for real camping, too.

My children got these in their stockings and have enjoyed them so much! They are easily to crank, bright, and stay lit a long time after being cracked.

My 8 and 6-year-old grandchildren were having so much fun with these crank-up flashlights that they needed to check out the quality of light every few minutes by racing into the windowless bathroom to see it! I suspect there will be lots of under-bed searches and mysteries solved with these clever flashlights. Thank you for providing such a practical and intriguing product. I suspect adults would find this a very handy item for the purse, glove compartment or on camping trips.
