 Coleman tent kit Jul 31, 2010
This might be useful for someone who has never camped before and doesn't have a broom, a claw hammer, or access to a Wal-mart store. Go to Wal-mart and buy some tent stakes to replace those bent wires that came with the tent, buy a cheap broom and shorten the handle, get a cheap dust pan, and use your hammer to pound and pull the tent stakes.
Great kit Jun 02, 2010
Really happy with the kit. It had most of the things we needed for our tent set up. I would recommend including tent sealer in the kit, but otherwise the tools came in handy!
 Review of the stakes only May 19, 2010
I bought the stakes by themselves at Target on closeout. I've used them and they're great. They are made out of solid steel and go easily into the ground. I'm not sure why Coleman discontinued and replaced them with plastic ones. I guess it's cheaper to make plastic but I trust steel. Good stakes.
 Stake puller and stakes are weak May 10, 2010
I bought this because I wanted the stake puller. It was broken after the first use. If you set up a tent in your backyard for your kids this would be fine. If you camp in the midwest like Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan areas that have a lot of clay this will be useless. The stakes bent going in the clay and the puller bent after the third stake while removing them. It would be better to have a cheap claw hammer. The broom and dust pan are kind of nice, but hammering into clay or rocky soil was difficult with a rubber mallet. You would be better off buying a claw hammer and whisk separately.
Bottom line-Great for light easy camping in backyards or soft soil but useless in rugged terrain.
You'll get the Basics . May 02, 2010
This tent kit has the basics. The stakes and the mallet are sturdy, and the stakes come with rubber tips to keep them from doing any damage when they're not in use. The stake puller is ergonomically shaped, and will work well in sandy areas. If the stakes are really stuck, it will pull out of shape. The whisk broom and dust pan are a nice addition, however they're hard to get back in the mesh bag because the strands of the broom get caught in the mesh. I agree with Mike's suggestion in his review- keep the plastic bag they come in because that will make the process much easier.
