Must-Have Festival Gadget: The Scorpion

We’ve all been there; you’re at a festival and your phone’s losing battery, you can’t open your bottle of beer, you need some background music and when you leave your tent at night – for whatever reason – you can’t find your way back.

All of these problems can be extinguished with the Eton Scorpion Solar and Crank-Powered Radio, Phone Charger, Torch and Bottle Opener! This one, simple gadget is built for the great outdoors. Just look at it – it wouldn’t look out of place on Batman’s utility belt.

The rechargeable battery is powered by a hand crank, solar panel and DC adaptor; the radio covers FM, Medium and Shortwave bands; and the aluminium clip means that you can carry it anywhere. It’s splash-proof, tough and rugged. Even if you’re not going to a festival this year or travelling through wilderness, it’s got so many uses. Plus it’s cool, and that’s what matters.
