Overall Auto Express rating

2.0

The pack recommends you check compatibility with your mobile, and we were disappointed to see that nearly all the connectors with this product were for out-of-date phone models.

Wind-up power is still a great idea, and the unit is compact. But the winding arm could have been longer and stronger.
