Chad's Crappy Corner.

Chad's theme for January is multi-purpose gadgets. And his first gadget is this LED Lght, Hand Warmer, Battery Backup from Monoprice. Here’s how Monoprice describes it:

 3-in-1 LED Light, Hand Warmer and Battery Backup for iPhone, iPod, and other USB Mobile Devices. The Monoprice 3-in-1 LED Light Hand Warmer and Battery Backup is the all-in-one essential accessory for the person on the go in the colder climes. Use the LED Light to illuminate your car or front door lock when you get home late at night. Use the battery backup/charger to recharge your cell phone or other devices when other power sources are unavailable. Use the hand warmer to keep your hands and fingers functioning properly in spite of cold weather. The internal battery has a capacity of 2500mAh. The LED flashlight can be used for up to 30 hours with a full charge. The hand warmer operates at two temperatures. The first is about 104-113°F and the other at 122-131°F.  $17.99.

And Chad’s take?  Chad likes this device a lot. He showed us how it heated and got really warm, almost hot at over 120 degrees. The battery last about two hours in the high heat position. The flashlight is bright and has a flashing function if you want to attract attention. Chad also told us that producer Jeff Needles LOVES this device and doesn't plan on parting with it. For under $18 Chad said this is "a buy!"
