Excellent kit, but mine expired pretty quickly
This looked to be the best kit available for the money - a nice compromise between completeness and price. Has a huge assortment of odds and ends - hopefully way more than I will ever need. Part of the attractiveness of this kit was the sturdy, decently designed hard case it came in. I read about it in another review and it helped me decide on this one. Why spend money on a bunch of stuff that will be ruined by wet if I have to take additional steps to protect it? The case seems like it will do a good job of protecting all the contents. My only trouble with this kit was really not with the kit at all, but the supplier. When it came I discovered the expiration date was up in 6 months. My experience with other kits has been that they are generally good for at least a couple years. I immediately contacted the seller to ask if this was normal with this kit. They could not tell me whether it was or not and asked if they could send another kit to replace this one (good customer service there!). I said that would be fine and they told me I could keep the kit that would expire in a few months. When I received the newly mailed kit - you guessed it - exact same expiration date as the first. So I can only assume this lot of kits from this seller has been sitting in a warehouse for awhile. I can't imagine it would be normal for it to expire so quickly. If it is normal however, maybe that can explain why the kit is as modestly-priced as it is. To be honest, most things in the kit are not really subject to an expiration date, anyway. Aside from the drugs and unusual-type bandages most of it will be just fine well past the expiration date. Cheers! Read more
