Rolson Black Wind-Up Torch

Price: £4 Contact: 0844 557 6000, www.maplin.co.uk

Cheap as chips and small enough to slip into your pocket, never mind your glovebox, this is a real emergency-only option. The short crank isn’t the easiest to use, as resistance is quite high. As you’d expect at this price, it’s a step behind bigger rivals. The three LEDs lack punch, although the beam is clean and wide. The battery gave up 10 minutes earlier than most rivals.
