When towing a trailer, it sometimes becomes necessary to work in or around a roadway. In these situatations, a safety cone helps to alert drivers to hazardous conditions. However, most safety cones are either too bulky to store easily or too small to be seen. This collapsable cone is both easy to store, and highly visible when used.

The cone is marketed by AO Safety and collapses into a two inch high - foot square block that can be stored almost anywhere. It opens to 24" high with reflective stripes, and is topped with a flashing LED beacon.

The cone is available online and locally at Northern Tool for about $25.

PROs: Easy to store; Easy to see, especially with the flashing red LED light.

CONs: Cost - A comparable vinyl/PVC cone is about $10-$15.
