Description
Portable AM FM Radio with Hand Crank, Solar Charging and Built-In Flashlight
-
Stay informed when the power and signal both go out: this portable radio runs on its hand crank alone, no batteries required

One device covers the dark and the news: the built-in light doubles as a flashlight when the power's out

Keep your phone alive too: the USB output lets you top up a phone from the same crank power
-
Built to handle a damp emergency kit: a moisture-resistant design and compact shape mean it survives being stored anywhere
When the power goes out, most radios are just as dead as everything else plugged into the wall, and batteries have a way of going missing exactly when you need them. This one keeps working because it does not depend on either: turn the crank and it charges itself, tune the dial by hand, and the built-in light doubles as a flashlight in the dark. There is nothing to open and no signal booster to hunt down, just AM and FM stations coming through whether the grid is up or not.
As a hand crank radio, the mono speaker and USB output run entirely off the energy you put in by turning the handle, with a cable or solar panel as backup power sources. Sized to fit in a bag or glovebox, it works as a pocket radio for everyday use just as well as it does for emergencies, and at 3.6V and 0.2W it sips power rather than draining it. Set outside for a while, it charges as a solar radio too, so the crank becomes a backup rather than the only option.
