Wind It Up: The Mitaki-Japan Wind Up FM Radio with Flashlight

Some of us have been there: driving at night, middle of nowhere, and a weather system is coming or some urgent news update is on the radio. Any emergency kit should have a radio handy, and the Mitaki Wind-Up Radio is the perfect addition to that kit, due to the fact it doesn’t require batteries.

This handy gadget comes with a LED flashlight built in as well, and a recharge jack for your mobile gizmos to recharge, so its super flexible in usage if you’re stick in the middle of nowhere.

A single minute of winding gives you abundant benefits, including 30 minutes of light, 10 minutes of radio time and 3 minutes of weather reports, so you can get the info you need easily with no batteries required.  And it isn’t too expensive either; it sells for $19.95 through Amazon.
