    you need one from bashing the head against the wall after each of their crapaton server outages.

      I'm going to use the bandages and get someone to tie them tight around my hands so I don't order anything else from COTD!

  • PissLUR on 21/01/2013 - 21:25

    If only they can offer free shipping…

        If their life was really endangered, you couldnt help them with bandages

        • pmupsinep on 21/01/2013 - 21:52

          Yes you can.

          I have watched nearly all of the greys anatomy episodes, part of my life that I will never get back.

          I have heard them say such things as:
          "code blue"
          "call the chief"
          "get a crash cart, we're loosing em"

          Not once have they mentioned:
          "quick, get the first aid kit with band aids"

          Thats the sort of thing a mum would say if a kid gets a boo boo

          actually a firm bandage applied to a limb with a splint following a snake bite may very well save someones life

          you are basing your argument on grays anatomy episodes????

          Just because you have zero concept of first aid doesn't mean your shit fiction tv show has relevance to anything.

          In the case of venomous bites or heavy bleeding a simple bandage can make a huge difference especially if professional help is not available.

        • WT on 21/01/2013 - 22:11
          +4

          That part was a joke.

          Does the bandage look like its long enough to cover a limb?

          In all cases, it is advised to wrape the entire limb. The wrap will be lucky to cover an ankle.

          I hope to god that you dont expect this kit, with that type of clip, will apply enough pressure to help with a snake bite…

          i think your argument is valid on this kit (actually looks pretty shit quality and contents) but a decent kit would life-saving in certain situations.

          actually a firm bandage applied to a limb with a splint following a snake bite may very well save someones life

          but the same could be achieved using a t-shirt

        • richox on 22/01/2013 - 09:32

          so would a shoelace, or a ripped piece of shirt, or manual pressure applied by a spare set of hands, or a belt, or anything… in fact a bandage wouldn't provide enough pressure, potentially. these first aid kits are helpful but they will not save someones life

      • [Deactivated] on 21/01/2013 - 21:52

        Hmm. pondering

        Should really be about $5…..Nah, no deal. Let them die.

          even for $5 I wouldnt buy it.
          let COTD die

        • Roary on 22/01/2013 - 02:06

          Have to agree.. COTD was great when it was starting and was 1 bargain per day.. Now they just sell overpriced crap the $2 cant sell. I aint brought anything from them for years or visit their site anymore

        According to L4D, you can let a person be incapacitated three times before you have to use a first aid kit to save them.

          And if they are dead, shocking them with a defibrillator will bring em' back to life.

          or just leave them as they'll respawn next round :)

  • tatasauce on 21/01/2013 - 21:48

    Ok, so I'm not a superhero that save lives regularly. If I were to buy some kits for the home / car etc just for peace of mind… just in case, say I drive a nail through my hand, what should I be looking for in a kit? Does this one cover enough of the basics?

    • endotherm on 21/01/2013 - 21:56

      The first thing you'd need is a claw hammer to pull the nail out.

      • Geewhizz on 22/01/2013 - 07:31

        The first thing you'd need is a claw hammer to pull the nail out.

        Only if you want them to bleed to death. Leave the nail in there.

        just in case, say I drive a nail through my hand, what should I be looking for in a kit?

        A telephone.

        Of definite use in this pack - the triangular bandage, emergency blanket, and maybe the cold pack . To buy these retail separately would probably come somewhere near their selling price.
        As already mentioned, the bandages all look too short to be of much use; they've conveniently neglected to mention the length .

        The eye patch alone is useless with no eyewash.

    • sheikyerbouti on 21/01/2013 - 21:57

      The kit is less important than the training. A decent first aid course will teach you what to do regardless of the items you have. A fancy kit with no training is useless.

      Step 1: Stop the bleeding
      Step 2: Get yourself to hospital
      Step 3: ???
      Step 4: Profit!

    does this kit have any aspect of quality to it?
    to me it just looks like a crappy no-name brand kit which very well could have a bunch of low quality bandaids and bandages in it.
    would rather fork out for a decent brand one (st john maybe) and know that the kit contains quality things that are actually needed for most first aid scenarios.

  • [Deactivated] on 21/01/2013 - 22:05

    I'd be prepared to pay a bit more and get one with morphine injections, Band of Brothers style. Then I would feel like I'm actually helping rather than being a hindrance.

    First aid kits aren't meant for operating on someone, they are used to tide them over until you can get them to a hospital. They're the FIRST step in AID.
    If you think they're useless, just hope you're never put in the situation where you wish you had one handy.

  • aim54x on 21/01/2013 - 23:24

    I'm genuinely surprised… so far no neg voters.. Last time I posted a COTD deal I was on half a dozen negative votes in this time.

    It is cheap it probably is not of the best quality but it will be better than nothing. I just moved out so this willbe a good kit uuntil something better comes along and I have more money. It sucks being a student again

    • NosDan on 21/01/2013 - 23:29

      for $16 you can probably pick up something better from your local supermarket/chemist…… but i think most people here have already got over believing that Con Of The Day will have any legit bargains
