What do you think of this solar hand crank emergency radio?
I personally am not impressed. There are some pretty decent emergency radios at reasonable cost, if you do some online research. Generally speaking, hand crank radios and hand crank lights are low quality novelty items.

Just the fact that it has the type of tuner that it does shows that it is very cheaply made. You can’t buy a decent emergency radio with those features for $15, much less get one “free” with a $15 purchase…
In an emergency, maybe - maybe “anything is better than nothing”. This little “free/cheapo” radio is… something… anything… but not much.
Don’t bet your life on a “giveaway” item. Here are some decent emergency radios:
Different strokes for different folks.
I feel that more people are using the garmin inreaches for this type of thing now compared to using the radio itself.
I think it’s a great idea! A solar hand crank emergency radio provides multiple means of power, ensuring it works even during power outages. It’s versatile for various emergency situations and outdoor adventures
