After one year of use, well actually one ice season. This equipment didn't really hold up well at all. I mostly just had it in my winter coat pocket, so no rough use. One dead LED light. The on/off button on the rear also fell apart. It happened while it was a particular cold night of temps in -20 F. I went to press the button and next thing I knew it broke. I had to open it up and re-align the whole button back on. So it works to a point, but I have to be very gentle with it. I had such high hopes for years of use with this product, but I'll see how it will hold up this next coming season.
Overall it was a cool toy to play with. It did a good job of charging up most glow lures and they glow charge definitely lasts longer than exposer to my 4 watt LED flashlight. Glow reds didn't do very well so the LED flashlight is used on those lures. The finish on this product is quality job also. Looks like a tough product, built to last. Battery cap twists on and off solid and threads very well. There is no hole for a key ring or a lanyard.
This is not a product I would recommend to a friend. This is a product that I will not buy again. I feel it's more of a toy and less of a tool.
Apparently they have a new model now with a lanyard. The one I have didn't have a lanyard and I was always afraid of dropping it into the ice hole.
