Tools and Hardware Reviews of Shake Everlife Flashlight - Water Resistant
Customer Review: No Batteries? Riiiiight!
Summary: 1 Stars
Appears to take No Batteries. You're just supposed to shake it. On closer inspection it is just a hoax.
I bought three and two of them worked. The third didn't hold up to my 3 y/o playing with it but I was able to get it working again. The light switch is a little weak and will probably break again with constant use.
And as a children's toy you can't beat the price but don't expect to use it as a REAL tool or for emergencies - it's just not reliable.
Not a good purchase choice for those environmentally concerned because once it stops working you just throw the whole thing away! Shaking it doesn't do a damn thing.
If you want a good flashlight bargain today I suggest instead you get the 7-LED lights currently selling for about $2.50/ea at most auto parts stores. They REALLY throw some light for the size and you can use standard or rechargeable batteries.
Customer Review: JUNK LIGHT
Summary: 1 Stars
Here are the facts:
-The coper coil that is supposed to re-charge the battery is NOT connected to anything, so how can it recharge the battery?
-The thing that slides in side the handle when you shake the flashlight is supposed to be a magnet so it can generate electricity. It is just a piece of metal.
-The battery's that are inside the light are standard non-rechargeable type batteries, so even if the other components were in working order, the battery could not receive a charge.
These are total JUNK and should not be purchased if you have any intention of trying out the "ever life" type device. You really can not get quality for this price, I should have known better.
Customer Review: Works great for what I need
Summary: 4 Stars
JJ is right - this flashlight is cheap. It isn't very sturdy. The switch is cheap. The cord is cheap and it doesn't give off much light. But it is exactly what I need time and time again. With a few shakes it is always ready to go. It is perfect for my car or motorcycle tour pack. I have several. Customer Review: fake
Summary: 1 Stars
Yeah I took mine apart only to find the wires didn't really connect to anything, the magnet was really a chunk of steel, and the thing runs off of 2 disc batteries that with an LED and resistor gives only the appearance of holding a charge through a low drain and long battery life. Do not use in case of emergency this will let you down.
Thanks to the manufacturer for finding our green soft spot and exploiting it.
Customer Review: durability 0
Summary: 1 Stars
It worked for about five minutes. We all thought it was really cool...for the few minutes it worked.
Given that shipping was 90% of the cost, I will not ask for a refund...
But I would not buy one of these again. I bought it from a marketplace seller and am not 100% sure that it is the same one pictured, or sold by other sellers.
All I can say is that my experience with this product was not good.
