Description
This seven in one safety whistle packs a loud whistle, a compass, a thermometer and four more handy tools into one chunky little body. Its Spirit of Adventure design comes in a deep teal blue with bright orange fold-out arms and a grey braided lanyard finished with blue toggles. Alongside the whistle you get a battery powered LED signal light, a magnifying glass, a reflector mirror, a Fahrenheit thermometer, a compass and a secret storage compartment for very small items. It measures 10.8cm long, 4.5cm wide and 2.5cm deep, not counting the lanyard, so it slips easily into a pocket.
Wear it around the neck on the long lanyard of about 50cm, or tie it to a bag strap so it is always to hand. Its main job is the loud whistle, there to signal for help if needed, while the extras turn an ordinary walk into a small expedition. Check which way is north on the compass, read the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, or swing out the magnifying glass to look closely at a leaf, a beetle or a pebble. As a toy it invites plenty of imaginative play on walks and days out in the park.
The body is made of plastic with metal parts, and the lanyard is fabric with plastic fittings. Press the orange power button to flash the LED signal light, or press and hold it to keep the light on; it runs on three LR1130 button batteries, which are included. The storage compartment has a water resistant lid and suits very small items, such as a coin or a tiny folded note. Wipe it with a damp cloth after a muddy outing, and keep the magnifier and mirror clean with a soft dry cloth. It arrives in a printed card box, ready to wrap and give with a small notebook for recording what was spotted.
