Stanley 3-in-1 LED Flashlight Features Tripod and Pull-out Heads

6 November 2008

With winter and storm season on the way for most of us, it’s not a bad idea to check your emergency supplies, including flashlights. If your existing flashlight is old and likely to die, maybe it’s time for an upgrade.

An LED flashlight is a smart choice since the tiny semiconductors within it work on a fraction of the power incandescent light bulbs require. This means the batteries can be smaller and lighter, yet still provide illumination for up to 20 hours.

This Stanley 3-in-1 Tripod LED Flashlight looks like a particularly handy model.

In addition to the tripod (which snaps down into a regular handle when you need to take it with you), the Stanley unit has three pivoting heads that you can pull out and use as individual flashlights (yes, finally one “flashlight” can actually service the needs of the whole family during a power outage).

You can pick one up for less than $30 at Amazon:
