So I got the Lee Valley Christmas catalog in the mail today, or as my wife refers to it, my ‘tool porn‘. Flipping through looking at the gift ideas, I saw that they’re offering this cool Dynamo Hand-Powered Flashlight Kit.
It’s your standard hand-powered flashlight, but this one comes un-assembled. It says it only takes about 30 minutes to put together and offers a great chance to teach a young one the principles of eletrical generation.
Once you’re done, you’ll have a fully functional torch that you’ll never have to worry about having batteries for. Squeezing the handle spins a magnetic disc between two coils of cooper wire to create the juice to illuminate the bright bulb. Each squeeze transforms into 2 seconds of light.
A great stocking stuffer for the young ‘un (or young at heart) that might just teach them something too. Yours for $12.95 USD ($16.50 CDN) from the awesome woodworking and gardening tool retailer Lee Valley. Here’s the product page.
All I want for Christmas…
Nice to know I’m not alone in the shameful drooling over Lee. Oh, their hardware catalogue! Those repro hinges!
