Best Answer

In this day and age a hand crank radio would seem rather primitive but there is a lot of room for them in our society. The number one function of a hand crank radio would be access to radio when power is not available. It is perfect for camping trips, hiking, fishing, or even your backyard. Another selling factor is the fact that it does it is completely battery free. Unlike regular radios where you have to feed it mountains of batteries, hand crank radios are completely manually powered.
