I'm looking to buy a few dozen wind up torches from Amazon/somewhere so am looking for a cheap torch that will last a reasonable length of time. Anyone have experience with anything like that? Preferably something under about £5, although I'm guessing that will be a stretch.
Cheap wind up torch
- Thread starter Amp34
- Start date
I designed one in my second year at uni. Alas nobody makes it.
But no information as to how good they are...
Amazon have loads for under £5 as well but the reviews are terrible so I'd rather avoid buying a few dozen torches that don't work...
Yeah... 
Looking at these at the moment...

or

Anyone bought either?

Got this one as a corporate freebie. It's rubbish.
You're better off buying one of these

Got two of these - they were on offer at motor factors for 6 quid - Got them for the cars as had puncture once and Mrs's had took mini mag out of her handbag - Ever changed a wheel in pitch black with mobile screen for light ?
They are just good enough for wheel changing and stumbling round house after power cut but not much else - only good thing is you can wind it up.

Though I would go with one of these and just take 1 pack of AAs with you, will last ages

Saw this and thought of OP...
5 hours too late! 
Ordered 75 of the Rolson ones from a highstreet store instead, cheaper than Amazon.
Now looking for a load of cheap Casio Scientific Calculators! We got two for £5 each in Sainsburys but they were discontinued.
Anyone know anywhere that does cheap Casio Scientific calculators (or bulk discontinued ones?)
