EEVblog #1251 - LifeSaber Kickstarter - Jack of all Trades, Master of None

The LifeSaber Kickstarter outdoor survival tool is a classic example of a Jack of all trades, master of none product design.
A master class in how not to design a practical product.

Yet another wind-up/crank USB charger tool with everything but the kitchen sink. It even has ALIENS!

Compare Dave's survival kit with the LifeSaber and there is absolutely no contest, this boondoggle of a product has nothing to offer.
