Good safety product
The first of these battery powered flares arrived with a damaged battery that had leaked on the case. I returned and ordered a replacement that arrived in 3 days. Good service! The replacement package was complete and intact. We installed the batteries in one flare to test it. It's bright, functions as advertised. The enclosed screwdriver is handy but if you were going to put batteries in more than a few flares, you'd want a larger handled screwdriver. We're leaving the batteries out of the other flares to reduce the chance of accidentally running them down but would have at least one flare ready if needed. The case is small enough to stow out of the way in trunk or emergency area of vehicle. We plan to give a set to grandkids and family to have for emergencies and pray they never need to use them. Overall, a good value.

Great Company and Product
How often do you come across a company that really stands behind it's product? I'll get to that in a minute. The product is exactly as described. There were 3 LED road flare safety lights, included the batteries for all 3, bubble wrapped in the nice little carrying case, that has a handle on it if you needed to carry it on your belt for example. Each one measures 3 1/2 inches across, 1 1/2 inches in height. You only have 2 screws on the back to take it off to insert the batteries. Each one takes 3 AAA. I don't store the batteries inside the lights, I have them in the case. If you were to store batteries inside the lights you could keep extra inside the case. Tight seal on the lights so they should take what the weather can throw at them. The lights are really bright and you can cycle through 5 modes. 4 modes of red lights that go from circular flashing, clock wise movement, strobe and 1/2 flash. There is a bright white light that you could use as a flashlight or an under the hood light. There is a pretty strong magnet and a hook so you could hang it up. But that is just uses for the car.I'm sure these would come in handy to carry one in your survival bag. Not sure how long they would last if you had them on continuously. If I do test that I'll update my review.Now to address my opening statement. I didn't receive the little screwdriver. I was disappointed, but do understand that this can happen. So I had left seller feedback and a rating of 3 stars. To my surprise I go to the Post Office and I have a package. When I open it up there is a very nice letter of apology, along with personal contact information, (he left his personal phone number) Inside with the letter of apology was another LED road flare safety light and the screwdriver.I was so blown away that this company really took my disappointment seriously. I tried to fix my seller feedback and couldn't that's why I'm letting you know that you can order from Gear Gurus with confidence. They will do what they reasonably can to make their customers happy. As long as we as customers are just as reasonable.

Great product!
A great modern approach to traffic safety during break downs and accidents. Safer and more economical than traditional road flares. Very easy to use. Lights are very bright and the various different lighting modes are a great feature. Product, including the case and gloves, seem very sturdy.Customer service was quick to respond and resolve replacing one of my gloves since I received two right hand gloves.

Zipper on the storage bag comes apart.
The lights are very bright. Batteries included and easy to install with the small phillips screwdriver that comes with the product. My one complaint is that when I used the zipper to open the storage bag, the zipper pull came completely off. I was able to thread it back on, then took a needle and thread to create a stop so hopefully that will work. Being unable to close the storage bag that holds the lights, etc. reduces the usability of the product. If it were possible to purchase a new bag, separately, (with a zipper that didn't come apart) I would do it. Not sure my repair will stand up over time.

Good unit
While there are units that have more light functions (8-9) this unit has 5....that is not a bad thing....how many do you really need? These units are great, you get three lights, the batteries, and a small screwdriver to install the batteries and a nice case to hold it all. I believe they are plenty bright esp. for night use when you need it most. I recommend these as the best price and most complete safety flasher set you can buy. I got two...one for me and one for my GF.

Great gift for the new driver or a road trip
Compact, brilliant lights; inexpensive but very efficient.I had a bit of trouble locating the plastic tabs needed to pull to open but other than that, a great value. I advise the purchaser to have a new, spare set of AAA batteries handy.Although the company includes a AAA set for each unit (3), I needed to put in fresh batteries for one of our two sets.These would make a great gift for the new driver or a Bon Voyage gift for a road trip. We got a set for our daughters, now will get a set for my husbands and my car!

Great safety item, easy to use,
I really like these. First off they come with batteries and that tiny screwdriver is actually pretty robust. My only concern is when you put the batteries in and then replace the cover, it can sometimes bend one of the LEDs out of place. It was easy enough to bend back into place though it wouldn't stand up to repeated bending so I made sure all of my LEDs were flush as much as possible. It's not hard to watch for this when you first put the batteries in and for the price, it's just a minor thing.They are magnetic, but the magnets are not super strong. It will hold vertical on a flat plane on your car or refrigerator, but it likely will not hold if you start to drive.I like these enough, I'm thinking of buying them for my staff as a safety minded Christmas gift. I wish I could give this a 4.5 star, simply because there are a few tiny minor things that would make these absolutely perfect, but for what they are, these are really great and deserve a good rating. I'm keeping one with batteries and the other two without so the batteries will be ready to go if I ever need them on a dark and stormy night.
