Thorfire pocket flashlight/keyring


Rating: 5/5

Review:
An excellent little torch/keyring



This torch and keyring was sent to me free for my unbiased review, and I think it's a cracking little product.

It's beautifully presented in a tin with a Perspex window, and the torch itself is excellent.  It is tiny – about 6.5cm long and 1cm in diameter – and is made of robust brushed stainless steel.  It is unfussy and looks very nice, and the attached keyring is good and sturdy.   The torch takes four LR44 watch batteries (supplied with the torch) which are readily available and very inexpensive.  I can't say how long they last yet, but replacing them won't be a problem.

In use it's very simple.  There's a button on the end which toggles between on and off…and that's it.  No scrolling through half-a-dozen modes of brightness or strobe, which is ideal for this; you just need to be able to see where to put your key without a lot of fuss.  The light is quite tightly focussed and easily bright enough for close work, and it will give a decent illumination at a few metres, too.

I know it's just a little, low-cost item but I really like this a lot.  It's one of those things which just makes life a bit easier, it's very solid and well-made and it looks very smart.  If you need a little torch to fit in a pocket or handbag, don't hesitate – this is excellent and warmly recommended.
