    I have to admit, I love small dinky tools and utility items, but none more so than torches/flashlights.
    My current favourite is my Clulite ML7 .Very handy, light, durable and comes with a rechargable Li-ion battery.
    But as I can never have enough torches, Iv gone browsing (again) and found these little babys on Amazon (cant add link as Im a new user. Head to Amazon and search "mini 300 lumen Cree Q5). £1.73 and 20p delivery?? Cree LED? How could I refuse? Just paid for 6 of them.
    But as always, the phrase, "buy cheap, buy twice", springs into my head. Why are they so cheap? Has anyone got one?
    Either ways, its a little heads up if anyone is looking for a handy torch for their glovebox.

    My apologies savage93. I made a bit of a slip. Upon looking back at my order, the price is actually £2.48. Turns out, I was flicking through the color options and selected "mini flashlight black". Cant understand why the cheaper option is unavailable. Probably just a ploy to draw me in. Probably should point out that its coming from china and that the 20p delivery doesnt apply to Ireland. Looking back, its actually not a spectacularly good deal, but not bad either.

    I bought a bunch of them and they are tough little things! I have one in my toolbag, one in each car and a spare at home.I think it cost EU 20 for four and a few euros for shipping.Took 21 days to get here.Better than the multi-LED ones you get in a garage.
