Right off the bat, this kit came in a plastic wrapper that already had a tear in it when I went to open it. The outside of the kit as roughed up and scratched looking, and though the picture would imply a sturdy metal case, it is in fact plastic. And one of of the two tabs to hold the box closed was already broken.The "EFA First Aid Instructions" amount to a single-page pamphlet, the scissors included are puny compared to what it shown, and if there was an organizing principal to how the box was packed, it eludes me.
I suppose for the price what you're getting here is decent enough, but if you were hoping for a tight, compact, metal kit you could supplement, forget about it. My first thought on opening this was that I'd need to replace the case with something more sturdy. Can't really recommend this wholeheartedly, but it's a good cheap kit you could toss out as a small gift item, or put in a seldom-used vehicle.

Nexcare Skin Crack Care .24 fluid ounces (7-ml)
I was extremely pleased for many years with the original Band-Aid Liquid Bandage which contained the miracle ingredient 2-octyl cyanoacrylate, a human-safe version of superglue which is currently used by doctors/surgeons/vets as the best available product. This Nexcare product doesn't work as well in any respect compared to the original, and 3M knows it, but it is no longer sold over the counter to people (evidently too many folks were not careful in using it). Note that acetone (horribly stinky nail-polish remover) or mineral oil or any superglue remover does remove this human-safe version of superglue, but this was not common-enough knowledge and folks did not have a remover readily available when they misused it. So it was removed from the consumer market several years ago, evidently due to liability concerns.I used the original Band-Aid liquid bandage for many years for my painful winter skin cracks. A miracle product since it instantly cut the pain. When it was discontinued I tried literally every other product on the market and all had serious deficiencies. This Nexcare liquid bandaid is adequate in filling skin cracks except it doesn't cut the pain at all (my main gripe) and doesn't last nearly as long.
I just serendipitously stumbled onto the wikipedia entry for Cyanoacrylate, which includes this in its introductory remarks:
"2-octyl cyanoacrylate is a medical grade glue encountered under various trade names; e.g., LiquiBand, SurgiSeal, FloraSeal, Dermabond, Orabase, Surgi-Lock and Nexaband. This was developed to be non-toxic and less irritating to skin tissue."
I searched amazon and the only two products in the list of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate products above from wikipedia that are sold (by amazon) are Dermabond (0.5ml for $17) and Surgi-Lock 2oc (2.0ml for $40). There is no other liquid bandage that compares to a product with the main ingredient cyano 2oc -at least that is what the medical establishment believes (and I know from years of experience, having tried all the liquid bandages on the market). Sorry the real stuff is expensive, but you get what you pay for (plus they can charge doctors nearly any price and get away with it).
===============================================================
Off topic somewhat, the doctors in our family have recently turned me on to an excellent non-liquid bandage which they use, but a year later, pharmacies still do not sell this quite amazing product. However Amazon does sell it, "3M Micropore paper tape" (also called "3M Micropore surgical tape" because that's what surgeons use). 12 small portable rolls of 10 yards(!) each are about $10, which will last you forever. I have been using the 1" wide version for the past year (also have the 2" wide version, but haven't had a wound that wide yet :-) and am very impressed by its properties. You can easily tear it by hand (no scissors needed!) to the length you want, you can put it on a wound in one layer or wrap it around a finger one or more times. It is "micropore", ie. it lets the wound breathe, and is waterproof enough to stay on through a couple of days of showers.

This is the only thing that works for dry, cracked-to-the-nerve fingers. After working with cardboard boxes from overseas, my skin opens up within a day. This product seals the cracks, keeping the exposed lower layers of skin from making me cry in pain, and it works within the minute. Another miracle from 3M.Read Best Reviews of Nexcare Skin Crack Care .24 fluid ounces (7-ml) Here
Nexcare's Skin Crack Care is one of the very best products I've ever discovered. There are ingredients that promote healing while sealing the sore spot so that water and soap don't even cause a flinch, and I find that cracks, cuts, even bleeding cuticles are improved immediately. The applicator (similar to the type of applicator used for nail polish) allows the user to easily coat anything from a paper cut to a scrape or a deep crack on a finger or heel with the product, and the BEST PART is IT DOESN'T EVEN BURN the way Second Skin and Liquid Bandaid do. I have used this product on babies and little children with nothing but smiles from them.(The only time it ever stung was in a deep or very raw injury when the brush pushed too hard into the sore.)
There are two drawbacks -1) the price is steep but TRULY, the product is WELL WORTH IT.
The other drawback -it gets very thick when it gets toward the bottom of the little bottle, but that may be because I am so sparing with it that it probably does what my chocolate does when I save it WAY beyond the age date, and that is probably pretty normal considering the Law of Entropy.
WARNING: you may want to keep the cap on as much as possible because it seems to evaporate when left uncovered.
I hope you give this wonderful product a try. I WON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!

The stuff really works. IT takes away the pain of the skin cracks in my hands and helps to keep them sealed from germs. It also speeds up the healing process. I haven't found anything that works better!

My husband has been using this tape. It works great. Comes off easily if you keep it under running warm water for a minute. No rashes, no problems!

I don't know why they don't sell this in drug stores but they don't. This is excellent tape for wound care if you need more than bandaid treatment. It is completely flexible (unlike drug store paper tapes which bend easily but can't be stretched) and very breathable to allow drying of fluids collected by the underlying dressing. You could probably even use it instead of a bandaid in bothersome areas such as finger joints or toes where it's tough to get a bandaid to stay in place. I used it for a serious foot wound that was in a load bearing place and of several types of tapes I tried, this one easily did the best in keeping the dressing in place and not being rolled off by activity.Read Best Reviews of Mefix Fixation Dressing & Tape - 2" x 11 Yds - Each Here
First Aid: Personal Trauma Treatment Kit by Rescue Essentials
So I bought this because I was trying to fill up my first aid kit, and I feel I got less than I expected. The tourniquet is pretty cheap, I wouldn't count on it to stop severe arterial bleeding it definitely won't stop a femoral bleed. I primarily bought it for the nasopharyngeal airway and the H and H cinch tight bandage but both of these do not total what I paid for the overall package. The gloves are just sitting in the bag kind of wrapped in themselves, so I can't say for sure how sterile they are but I'm guessing NOT VERY. And my FAVORITE piece of this kit is the "Combat Medic Tape." You know what it is? IT'S DUCK TAPE. About 2 cents worth in it's own adorable little role. Now I believe duct tape is man's best friend and has many uses, but come on, who are you kidding? Over all I think I'm looking at 10 bucks worth of stuff here, max.
