This is an all in one item for a globetrotter. An item to store in a suitcase just in case needed.

My recco: this makes also a great item to store in the glove compartment of your car .. again for the just in case needed situations.

The integrated radio plays extremely well in regard to the compact size of this flashlight.

The self powered flashlight is a great contribution to mother earth, no empty batteries to dispose anymore ... FABULOUS!

The lighting portion of this device consists of three 5mm LEDs behind focusing lenses. However, there is also an FM radio and a siren which can be powered by the batteries, and the unit can be used to charge a Nokia type cell phone with the included charger cable

Razor Ground Force Electric Go-Kart Review

Razor Ground Force Electric Go-Kart
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had a Power Wheels toy for my girls when they were 2 and 4.Now that my son was turning 4, I didn't want him driving around in a pink Barbie Jeep.

I went and bought the Ground Force but it is significantly faster - the Power Wheels tops out at 5mph (but also allows you to lock the speed to a max of 2.5mph), whereas the Ground Force has a max speed of 12mph.

I must say though, that I (a 40 year old man who weighs 165 pounds) LOVE this thing...It was fast, nimble and my neighbors got used to seeing me drive around the neighborhood.But, ahem, where was I? Oh yes, back to the kids.

My 6 and 9 year old daughters love this car since it is significantly faster than their old Power Wheel car.I was even able to take my 6 year old out with it when I went roller blading and she was able to keep up with me and then some (we went out for about an hour (so figure we went about 8-10 miles since we weren't going the full hour.

That being said, it is way too fast for my 4 year old...and even my 6 year old who knows how to drive was doing a series of figure 8's in the street at max speed and loving it...when she lost control and ran full speed into the curb...she was NOT a happy camper, although she wasn't seriously hurt.

The car does sit low though...so if a child were to run under an SUV...there is a very real chance the child could be seriously hurt though because their face would smack into the bumper...so PLEASE be mindful.

I allowed our friend's daughter who was 5 to drive the car in an very open field and she loved it...but ended up losing control as well and running into a play structure. She hurt hurt herself and broke the seatbelt because she panicked and went full speed into the structure...she wasn't seriously hurt...but I have definitely re-thought my stance about letting ANY child under 8 or 9 drive the cart by themselves.

Because there is no way to lock out the max speed...the children should be very carefully supervised.I do drive my 4 year old in my lap (and even drove him to pre-school one day in the morning (which he loved btw).Of course, I did look a bit stupid driving home in this go kart in the morning near the school...but my son was VERY excited! ;)

Please please be careful with this car with young children.

Shake Flashlight- No Batteries- Simply Shake to Recharge Review

Shake Flashlight- No Batteries- Simply Shake to Recharge
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been purchasing a few of these self charging flashlights lately to find the best one.

This one puts out a a poor amount of light. It also does not retain its charge well.You will have to shake it frequently to keep it charged.

I would say it is one of the worst ones I purchased.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Shake Flashlight- No Batteries- Simply Shake to Recharge

Product Description:
The Forever Flashlight uses no batteries or bulbs. Instead it uses Faraday's Principle of Magnetic Induction and a bright LED to produce light without batteries. The flashlight is shaken for about 30 seconds to recharge a capacitor and it will then provide about 5-7 minutes of light. How does this happen? As the flashlight is shaken, a magnet passes through a metal coil which, when you shake, "induces" voltage in the coil generating electricity. During prolonged use it can be shaken for 10-15 seconds every 2 or 3 minutes for bright light. The light requires no maintenance so it can be left in your home or car for years, but will still be ready to produce light. The bright LED will last for thousands of hours and does not burn-out like a typical lightbulb- it should never need replacement. Great for home, car, camper, boat, or emergencies. Imagine exploring without of fear of ever running out of light. No need to worry about light if your car dies during a dark and stormy night. You'll be in great shape even if you have to signal for help in the pouring rain because it's 100% waterproof and it even floats! It gives you a powerful beam of light visible for up to a mile. This is a flashlight that never needs batteries, replacement parts or even bulbs for that matter. Now that's peace of mind. Features: Super bright blue/white LED bulb. Powered by principles of Faraday's Principle of Induction. Never needs batteries, vever needs bulbs, maintenance free. Save money- never have to buy batteries. 100% Waterproof case & even floats in water. Light visible for up to one mile. Great for cars, boats, campers, homes, cottages and all emergency kits. 30 seconds of shaking powers LED for 5-7 minutes. Dimensions 11" x 1.75". Model No: SF100. Weight: 2.25 Lbs.

While my son is thrilled with the gun his father and I are less than happy. The first time he used it in the field the metal cracked then the gun basically broke in half.My son was soooo upset and worried he was at fault, we had the gun repaired at a local store. They said they had never had anything like that on a full metal gun and that we should have had the manufacturer repair it but the wait was going to be long and my son would have been without.Since then we have had to repair several other parts and it has been very costly. I don't know if the manufacturer would have made good but we are disapointed in the quality.

O.K. Folks... Some of us are into things that well, quite honestly, do not interest everyone.However, if you happen to have an interest in, enjoy, or need "quality" Flashlight products as I do, here is some information that you may perhaps find useful.The Streamlight Stinger C4 DS LED Rechargeable Flashlight is one of -if not- the best Flashlight Lighting Product of its type, in current times.After owning a business that included selling "Quality" Lighting Products of several Brand Names, to Safety Forces, Outdoors People, Military personnel and other Flashlight Geeks for the past 18 years, (and just recently retired) this unit by Streamlight hits the mark.Its three (3) intensity Brightness settings work well. Its strobing capability make it a useful Weapons/Defense light to allow those extra seconds to evade or take action against an Attacker.It has two Switches (Top & Rear), a non-slip Rubberized Tube/Handle, anti-roll Hex-Rubber Cover for the Lens if you desire, Perfect Beam, a variety of Charger Types (Single, Double, Piggy-Back, Hard Wired, AC/DC, etc.).Its LED Beam is a perfect solid circle that shines far, and does not "cut-off" as many other HID/LED type devices do.The Battery for this model still utilizes NiCad vs. Lithium Ion - this is both a plus and minus.The NiCad's provide "high current on demand", will let you know the Battery needs a charge via dimming light output, and there is too much mis-information regarding their so called "memory" problem. Use-em, keep-em charged after use, NO problems, and they last a long time - often better than NiMh.Carbon Zinc, Alkaline, NiCads, and NiMH all primarily work off "current" flow from their Chemical Reaction of the Electron Charged Paste Material used.Lithium Ion Batteries provide a more even flow of current, last a little longer, and typically have a longer usage and shelf life.However, LI's primarily work off of "voltage" vs. current.Hence when a LI Battery falls below a certain internal voltage, they simply stop working.Same thing happens with Cordless Power Tools, the pocket lights using the 1,2,3A, type LI's, etc. - suddenly they do not work, even with Incandescent Lamps vs. LED's.All this being said:This Streamlight DS Stinger LED is a Power House, keep the NiCad charged, it is a Belt & Holster type Flashlight - really too big for a pocket - the pricing goes up to nearly $140 from Amazon for the Piggy-Back Fast Charger Model which includes two (2) batteries.Highly Recommended, the Flashlight itself is even esthetically appealing, its worth the money.WMB

Product Description:
The Streamlight Stinger DS LED is a rechargeable flashlight with a super-bright C4 LED that triples the brightness of a regular LED. Featuring dual-switch technology for single-handed operation, durable and water-resistant materials for use in extreme conditions, and the option for three different levels of intensity, the Stinger DS LED Flashlight is ideal for use at home, work, outdoors, and more.

Stinger DS LED Flashlight
At a Glance:

    Rugged and compact flashlight for a variety of applicationsBright and powerful LEDDual-switch technology with multiple lighting modesSingle-handed operationDurable construction for extended useLifetime limited warranty

C4 Photonic Crystal technology triples the brightness to create an intense beam that can be seen clearly. View larger.
Ideal for use in automotive, hardware, law enforcement, security, sporting, and outdoor applications. View larger.Bright, Long-Lasting Light
Weighing 12.8 ounces, the Streamlight Stinger DS LED Flashlight is 8.85 inches long, 1.17 inches in diameter at the body, and 1.62 inches in diameter at the head. The Stinger DS features three brightness levels: producing 180 lumens of light for two hours at the highest brightness, 95 lumens for three hours and 45 minutes at the medium brightness, and 45 lumens for seven hours and 15 minutes at the low brightness. The strobe function has a run time of up to five hours and 30 minutes.
The rechargeable three-cell, 3.6-volt sub-C nickel-cadmium battery (included) saves you time and money and can be recharged up to 1,000 times (charger included). It will steady charge in ten hours, or in two and a half hours on an optional fast, or PiggyBack, charger.
The Advantages of LEDs
An LED is ideal for lights that are used often and over an extended period of time. You don't have to worry about breaking the light, since there is no glass or filament, and you rarely have to replace LEDs because they can last a lifetime. Save time and money on batteries as well--they will last much longer with an LED than with a regular light bulb.
C4 Technology Provides Powerful Illumination
With Streamlight's specially engineered reflector and innovative C4 technology, the Stinger DS features a brighter, more powerful light than any prior LED on the market. C4 Photonic Crystal technology almost triples the brightness and creates an intense beam that pierces darkness. Optimized electronics provide regulated intensity, and the deep-dish parabolic reflector produces a tight beam with optimum peripheral illumination to aid in navigation. The C4 LED is impervious to shock and has a 50,000-hour lifetime.
Multi-Function Push Button for Convenient Operation
The Stinger DS feature dual-switch technology. Designed for long life and tested at one million actuations, the multi-function, on/off push-button switches are located at the head and tail cap. Convenient and easy to use, each switch independently clicks through all light modes--high beam, medium beam, low beam, or strobe.
Durably Constructed for Use in Extreme Conditions
Machined from solid, aircraft-grade aluminum, the Stinger DS features a nonslip, rubberized grip for increased comfort and an unbreakable and scratch-resistant polycarbonate lens. It is ideal for use in automotive, hardware, law enforcement, security, sporting, and outdoor applications.
The Streamlight Stinger DS LED Flashlight is backed by a manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty.
