Grandma got this for my son for his birthday. Within 2 days, nearly every element of this kit was broken. The screw that holds the plastic back to the battery compartment stripped the first time we were trying to unscrew it even though we were being careful. With herculean effort we did finally manage to get the screw out so that we could insert batteries and the lantern is the only element that hasn't broken (yet) after 5 days of use. This kit is extremely cheaply made, does not hold up to normal use, and is not worth the cost.
