The Spotlight Torch is definitely nifty to have in an emergency, and being of such a diminutive size, it makes perfect sense to carry one in the car at all times just in case of an emergency. While it is waterproof, make sure it doesn’t stay underwater for over half an hour.

Best of all for outdoor types, the Spotlight is fully submersible in water too. From changing a tyre during a monsoon to executing elaborate James Bond-style aquatic stunts, it won’t let you down when the going gets wet - which is more than we can say for your car insurance when they hear about your 007 underwater antics. It’s about the same size as the old lighter from your car’s socket, but potentially far more useful. After all, who wants to go through life wheezing through a coffin-nail courtesy of their car’s 12V power supply? Exactly. Far better to let your engine give the Spotlight the breath of life by slotting its compact anodised aluminium body into the socket instead.

It will come in a choice of black, red, titanium, blue and orange colors, retailing for £12.95 a pop.
