Satisfied June 21, 2008 Amorphousadam Not a bad deal if you get it as a combo with a tent. Stakes are sturdy, rest of tools are fair quality.
Useful... June 19, 2008 Goddesscd (Seattle, WA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Good value for the money. I've used it on every camping trip since I've gotten it. The dust pan combo is a bit cheap, but what do you expect. Add up the costs for each piece, and you're definitely getting your money's worth...all together in a mesh bag.
P.S. Keep the duster set in the plastic bag it came in, so the bristles won't push through the mesh, and the plastic nubbies on the stakes, for the same reason.
Not Bad, Not Great May 27, 2008 Mike (Bound Brook, NJ United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Let's face it - when camping, there are two categories of gear: necessities and other stuff that may be helpful. This package from Coleman, consisting of (1) a small broom and dustpan, (2) four aluminum stakes, (3) a rubber-headed mallet and (4) a stake remover, definitely falls in the second category.
(1) Broom and dustpan -- small, plastic and green, this just might get the most use out of anything in the package. Not much to say here -- it does its job. Save the plastic wrapper this comes in, because its hard to get the broom back into the mesh bag without it.
(2) Four aluminum stakes -- these are actually pretty good. The stakes are much longer and sturdier than the ones that came with my tent. They are essentially giant nails with a green plastic head attached for the line to tie onto. I would worry about cracking the heads if they got too cold.
(3) Rubber-headed mallet -- much more substantial than you might think. good heft to this and it will do it's job and any others that might call for a similar tool. A bit heavy, if anything.
(4) Stake remover -- Cheap, bends out of shape.
All of this comes packed in a little mesh bag. The bag is not really big enough for all of this stuff, nor is it really sturdy enough to put up with any amount of abuse, and the stakes punch right through the bottom.
Bottom line -- you can camp a thousand times without having this set and you would never miss it, but it's always nice to have extra stakes and a way to clean your tent floor. For the price, it's not a bad set to have.
Handy Set May 25, 2008 F. Zuma (Buda, TX) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This set is pretty good. The stakes are nice and sturdy, the hammer isn't bad, the stake puller works for my tent stakes, and the broom/pan do what they are supposed to. I don't regret my purchase.
