There are a number of new patent pending inventions, including the LockLite, which enables the recipient to turn a key into a torch, while the TravelBug, and the DogTag Tool are, apparently, turning people into one-man workshops.

Company owner and inventor Lee Berman has always had a fascination with storing as much as possible into as small a space as possible, so he looked at a key ring and decided he could make it into a DogTag tool and fit tweezers, screwdrivers, a bottle opener, knives and a torch into the same space.

The gift has, apparently, already been highly commended by the GA Gift Of The Year Award for 2006.

There’s a huge range of similarly designed gifts – lots of knives, flashlights, lighters and multitools, including a compact LED flashlight powered by three standard AAA batteries. The tiny torch has 21 LED lights, delivering over 30 hours of non-stop illumination. Each LED has a massive bulb brightness of over 18000 mcd/5 lumens with LED lights achieving full brightness in approximately 0.01 seconds, 10 times faster than an incandescent light bulb (0.1 second).
