If Batman could have gotten all these life-saving gizmos in one handheld device he could’ve ditched that heavy old belt (assuming it wasn’t holding up his Batpants – fighting crime in boxer-briefs is most likely frowned upon). The Raptor from Eton is an emergency radio that has a billion (estimated) other features. The solar-powered Raptor has a digital clock display with an alarm, a compass, a DC input along with an included mini-USB plug, and of course is an AM/FM/WB digital radio with 10 AM & FM presets. Eton also added an altimeter and barometer along with a carabiner to attach it to your bag or belt-loop. They even tossed in a bottle opener since being in the middle of nowhere with some sealed, non-twist beers is an emergency situation. Due to hit the shelves soon.
