I recently got one of these. It's bulky, but that's probably true of all wind-up flash lights. Don't plan on just sticking this in your pocket unless you like a big bulge. The batteries do not really store a charge for more than a few hours. If you wind it up for a while, turn it on for 30 seconds, then go back to it a few hours later, your wound up charge will have already dissipated. Not really a big deal since you just need to wind it up again.

Sounds like a good emergency backup light for caving since you can always charge it back up if your batteries in your main light go out.

does it double as a pencil sharpener?

these things are crap. bought the exact same one at kohls. they are not bright at all. the ones at costco are much better.

The one at Costo is much better crap?

Here is the deal on these crap lights. Hurricane season in Florida. Pitch black. 3 weeks no power. These lights outshine a battery powered flashlight any day. Yes the light is dull. No you can't shine a deer and blindside him with your Winchester. Yes you can barely light up a room in the pitch black and NOT stub your toe on the bedroom furniture. Some light is better than no light at all. Even if its just a little light. Now you just have to wait for that next hurricane to use them.

I saw one one of these at Walgreens today for $5.99.
