Horrible Fright first aid kit

The first aid kit no longer listed on Harbor Freight web site. But, it's on HF Reviews.

bought two zip pouch first aid kits. I'm not totally sure where I would have one of these kits, and need to do first aid. The kits are too large to fit in a pocket. Too large to fit into my fanny pack. Both vehicles have larger than this first aid kits. Maybe to remove metal working splinters?

Ah, well. Not to be deterred by reality. What to put in such a zip up kit?

I'm thinking along the lines of real store brand bandages. Store brand roll of tape. Maybe some of the medications I take, in foil packs. Cough and cold pills, allergy pills, pain pills, diarrhea pills.

What else might fit into a small zip pouch? Dental pain cream?

I like this web page, the animated discussion. By people who know.

The things I actually use are Iodine, BandAids and splinter tweezers.

These are the *best* tweezers for splinters.

They all work well after fitting the jaws by sliding sandpaper through them and grinding the edges even. Since that removes the plating, stainless lasts better outdoors.

I can't remember the brand, but one of the stores has triple antibiotic with pain relief stuff. I've used that, with good results.

West Hartford? Do they speak English, there?

I like the pointy ends of the sliver gripper. It eases the task of excavating around the sliver to get a good grip. The close location of the hinge feature to the point means that the jaws don't get all misaligned, too. The small size is convenient. It is simple but brilliant.

I've carried one on my key chain for years.

One could modify conventional tweezers to include these features, for sure.

The web site doesn't list prices. That's a redflag to me, they are too expensive.
