Title: Please Read Before Purchasing...
Product review: ... so you don't make the same mistake I did.I've used many different led crank-type flashlights through the years, and this one is BY FAR the most disappointing.And that's an understatement.(1) It's awkward to crank - it's not designed to be ergonomic. Instead it feels like you're either going to run the crank lever into the hand holding the body of the flashlight OR your going to drop it.(2) The crank itself is hard to turn.(3) The light it emits pales in comparison to other led crank-style flashlights. This flashlight is only good for finding your way in a dark space, you cannot use it for reading or other exacting purposes.(4) After a vigorous cranking, the light itself dims after about sixty seconds. It goes from dim to almost unusable.I am sooooooooo glad I didn't give this as a gift (as it was originally purchased for), it works like something cheap I'd have gotten from a "Dollar" store instead of Amazon.Buyer beware.
