Must have products for amateur and professional gardeners alike have arrived, courtesy of Freeplay Energy Group, manufacturer of the ingenious range of Freeplay wind up products. So, whether you like listening to Terry Wogan while you prune your roses or require a torch to search in your garden shed, the new Freeplay Ranger Radio and Sherpa Flashlight are essential accessories, keeping you company as you work your way from the perennials to your hardies.

Robustly built, dependable and durable, the Ranger and Sherpa are designed with the outdoor enthusiast in mind. Powered by a rechargeable battery using Freeplay's fail-safe wind-up technology the Sherpa has ultra-bright recharge capability and the self-sufficient Ranger, with an additional solar panel, promises assured listening, anytime, anywhere.

By simply winding the Ranger for just 30 seconds 35 minutes of playtime is produced and can be rewound for as much playtime as you want. In the summer months a solar panel powers the radio to play continuously without winding. The Ranger will give 25 hours playtime, depending on volume, when fully charged so no need to worry about missing your favourite programme - no matter what time of day! At £44.99 this is an essential and affordable tool to keep with your spade and sheers.

Designed as a never-ending light source the Freeplay Sherpa Torch is ideal for searching for lost seeds in dark and dingy sheds or for simply checking on the garden at night. Simple to use, robust, compact to carry around and never needing batteries, the Sherpa is an ideal choice for ardent gardeners.

A quick wind (about 30 seconds) gives 6 - 8 minutes of shine time on the normal beam and the recharge system gives 30 minutes on the ultra bright beam and five hours on normal beam. It retails at around £34.99 so there is no need to ever be left in the dark again!

The Ranger Radio and the Sherpa Torch are available from Halfords, B&Q and all good electrical stores. For additional stockists information call 0116 234 4644.
