Rolson 9 LED Torch (Pack of 3) £5 in ASDA

[ph5172]

Just picked up a pack,
Complete with batteries, at this price if you break it or loose it its not going to matter (and you will have another 2 left anyway)

Not as robust as as similar one i have but at 1/10 of the price!! and it has about the same output

Thought it may be worth a heads up

(just so you know what they look like)

Don't forget Poundland - they don't always have them, but snap them up if they do. Great little torches, and fine for a backup or in the car, etc. If you want to seal them up a bit better, then an O ring around the screw join helps.

I also checked poundland before i got these but no joy.
These have a rubber O ring on the thread (well 1 was split in 2 but i have a spare plumbers seals so i have used that)

CRUMBS- i was getting some torches a few years ago that looked extremely similar to these but they were costing me four or five quid each (can't remember exactly how much!!)

A fiver for three is stupidly cheap:yikes::yikes:


I'll nip in to our tesco superstore tomorrow to buy a set and see how they compare...


Cheers, John

Thanks for that. The wife picked up a pack a couple of days ago. In the pack we found one torch with a black body and two with sort of alloy coloured bodies. The alloy ones are have a much brighter beam than the black one but even so we don't feel we've been robbed! One of them had a broken O ring too, but I have a big pack of O rings somewhere in the workshop.

Aldi have these for £4.00 (pack of 3) this week, they just don't say Rolson on them, but they are exactly the same. You can also try Homebase, they do the Rolson ones for £5 for a 3 pack. I posted a thread a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the tip - just picked up a pack this evening. Worth a shot at that price.
