Hiya gurus,

I'm after a wind-up radio/torch for emergency use. I've bought this one for my sister before and think it's OK but am after advise for a better one. The Jaycar one has a torch/strobe, reading lamp, AM/FM radio with digital tuner, mobile phone charger and alarm. It can be powered either through dynamo, battery or plug pack.

Jaycar wind-up torch

For the money it's pretty good but I've learnt from experience that Jaycar stuff tends to be hit and miss.

Has anyone had experience with other units?

Aldi one looks ok - haven't tested it except in shop , but winder feels better than some and this looks like a potential weak point on some to me
