First Aid Only Emergency Medical First Aid Kit, 204-Piece Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Admittedly, I bought this first aid kit near the end of my FSA benefit year to clear out my account. I wasn't really looking for a personal EMT kit, but wanted something better than bandaids-and-alcohol, which is what many of the less expensive kits seem to offer.
I ordered this item from Amazon (not a third party) and was initially very taken aback that the case wasn't sealed or in any sort of packaging other than the brown Amazon box. There isn't any real medicine in the kit to be tampered with, but the box itself wasn't even taped shut.
So with that, it's hard to even tell if you got what you were supposed to get, as there's no list of contents anywhere. Amazon's description says 204 pieces, and another description says 216.
The next thing that really surprised me was how soon everything in the kit expires. There was less than a year left on the antibiotic ointment, and about a year on the other liquid-based products. I checked my own medicine cabinet for reference, and saw that the items I already had were good for at least two years.
As far as the case goes, it's nothing more than an orange Flambeau tackle box. Some of the items are obviously crammed in, others seem to be arbitrarily placed wherever they happen to fit. That said, there is a huge variety of items you get: all sorts of bandages, insect sting reliever, tongue depressors, one-time-use thermometers, a rain poncho, an emergency blanket, etc. But the quality of the included items is low-end, and some items border on "questionable" in terms of quality.
For what this costs, you could build your own first aid kit with basically the same contents, but using higher quality products. Granted, you probably won't get a fancy orange pretend EMT box if you go that route. Of course, the question you might want to ask yourself isn't "Can I build the same kit?", but "Will I build myself the same kit?".
