Pros: Hot flame, instantly lights paper/etc. on fire, while regular lighter needs some time. Small, very handy. One fill lasts a long time, and refills are very cheap. When you are going empty, you can see becasue of the transparent tank. Easy to refill. Extremely cheap.
Cons: Doesn't always light. I think it depends on ambient temperature, but sometimes this only lights on every 10 tries, sometimes it lights nearly all the time. Build quality is decent, I imagine it would not last a lifetime.
Other Thoughts: It's very handy to have, lights up wood/paper much better than a regular lighter, and it's cheap to refill.
Bottomline: I recommend this to everybody.

Pros: Amazing price. You can get monoculars that works just the same for ten times the price! Clear vision, feels solid. English manual and nice bag is included. Small, easy to carry around.
Cons: Small vision field. Not the best monocular, but for it's price, it IS the best.
Other Thoughts: I have found this very useful on the mountain, camping or similar stuff. Experts I have shown it to were surprised when I told them the price.
Bottomline: Buy this if you think you're going to need it. It's as cheap as it gets, and is gonna last you a lifetime.

Pros: This is extremely cool. It's very bright, the output is actually about 30mw's of green. Almost no IR. Runs on cheap AAA batteries. The dot is visible on about 500 meters range in daylight, several kilometers in darkness. The beam is slightly visible in light, and kickass in darkness. PRICE.
Cons: Only decent build quality. Some cheap solutions on the interior, and if you drop it, it breaks. Warm up time is annoying. Also it's weak in cold temperatures.
Other Thoughts: This can easily be pot modded, but it can be tricky to take apart, as most of them are glued together. It also has a warm up time, which the romisen lasers don't.
Bottomline: Buy this. It used to be way more expensive. 17 dollars are almost free. Seriously.

Pros: This is incredibly cheap. You can't really go wrong for that price. The light is bright, clearly lights up the floor below you in a dark area. Very tiny, excellent for your keychain.
Cons: None that I have seen.
Other Thoughts: It's really way smaller than I thought. May fit oddly in large hands. The light is almost invisible in sunlight, but in darkness it helps alot.
Bottomline: Buy this if you often come home late and can't find your doorlock in the dark. Or if you hate walking in complete darkness to work in the morning. It's so cheap it's nothing, but it.
