One of our pet peeves are the poor quality items in many of the pre-made kits. These kits typically have poor quality cases (zippers break and fabric rips), scissors (usually plastic), gloves (typically tear easily, too small, and may be latex), and poor quality band aids.
Another issue is that they typically do not include a Pocket Mask for CPR.
