So what is this free power bank charger from Screwys?

[ProDave]

My latest Screwfix Electrifix catalogue landed on the mat.

In it, is a voucher to collect a free power Bank Portable charger.  Must be collected in person at your local branch on presentation of the voucher.

So what is it? There's no description and just a small picture of a cylindrical object.

What will it charge and from what source?

More importantly, is it worth a 50 mile round trip to collect it?

It's just a rechargeable battery pack that will recharge your mobile devices,,,, not worth 50 miles IMHO

i got the new catalogue today too... maybe i should get the leaflet that came with it out of the bin... oops

 

[roys]

Oh bug**r I have shredded the flyer bits without even reading them.

 

[Blue Duck]

Let the kids rip it up after I'd read it, it's still on the floor but I'm to lazy to pick it up! 

It it will probably just explode anyway. :C

get one one of these instead!

I havent even opened mine yet,

@ProDave post your coupon or whatever it is to someone near a branch and get them to pick it up for you,  :C

I think my missus is going into town at thwe weekend, I will send her into Screwy's to get it.

If it turns out to be of no use to me, there's always ebay.

 

[Blue Duck]

They are probably all gone by now Dave.

 

[NozSpark]

Here you go Dave... I just picked mine up this morning... £1 coin for scale

That looks alarmingly similar to the EE one they started handing out last year, and subsequently started recalling last year too.

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

I havn't got the catalogue yet

 

[NozSpark]

That looks alarmingly similar to the EE one they started handing out last year, and subsequently started recalling last year too.

It's nothing like the EE one.... we had 3 of them,,,, took them back and had 3 x £20 vouchers for their online shop

This one is more like an oversized lighter

 

[ProDave]

Thanks for posting the picture. It's certainly not worth going out of your way to get, but if SWMBO is passing by I might get her to call in and see if they have any left.

 

[Andy™]

retrieved offer from bin... might get one next time im in there

 

[steptoe]

I doubt any local to me will have any left,

They don't even have in stock stuff they sell a lot if the time, :shakehead

 

[Andy™]

most up here are pretty good with stock, unless you want lots of an item

 

[NozSpark]

I don't know if you can see the spec...

Input 5V  1A

Output 5V  1A

Battery 3.7V  2600mAh.

Up here the turnover is low.  Remember that offer on a cheap fully populated Wylex board with some rcbo's a short while back?  They had only 2 in stock, but they still had one more than 2 weeks later when we were going that way.
