It can be very tempting to take a chance on a cheap set of tools, thinking they’ll be fine but inevitably soon finding out that they are actually un-reliable knuckle-shredders. It’s no wonder that we don’t always do what we should though as known brands can be very expensive.

Here’s another product that’s going to be attractive to kitcar owners in the shape of a collapsible LED lantern.

There are no large batteries fixed in place, as just three AA-type batteries are all that’s needed here. It features 30-LED modules, which produce useful light that can last several days un-interrupted if required.

The Savisto lantern has a retail price of £14.99 and is available now from www.savisto.com/savisto-led-lantern or More >
