Sports reviews of Coleman Two-Mantle Propane Lantern with Case
Customer Review: Piece of trash!!
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
Well, I agree with other reviewers regarding the lantern being sensitive; in fact I would have to say, OVERLY sensitive. The threads on these lanterns are made of very soft ALUMINUM on. The very first time I used my lantern, I attached it with NO difficulty at all to a Propane Tree (NOT the Over-Priced Coleman Version) After removing it from the tree, I then attempted to attach to a bottle of Coleman Propane Fuel. Now, I have this lantern upside down so that I can see the threads both of the bottle of propane as well as those of the lantern itself. I spentno less than ten minutes attempting to attach the bottle to the lamp to no avail. I did, however, succeed in chewing the threads of the lantern into oblivion. It is now totally useless. If I could have given "0" stars , that I would have done.... I do not believe that it is the aluminum threads alone as much as I believe it is the grade of aluminum being used today vs. that which was being used twenty + years ago. You see, there are many grades such as T-4, T-5, T-6, and "O" condition which has to do with their malleability....and obviously, with each grade their
is a different price....thus we have the final production cost in the end....and if you can save a nickel on the overall costs in the end and you are producing at least a million + lanterns world wide (at least this amount) THAT can add up to a significant savings for the company thus a much greater profit margin, the heck
with the end user! Oh well, I should have known what to expect when I noticed that they had sold out and move most of their operations to China along with just about every other American Manufacturer.....what is going on in this Country of ours is a
sad day for America as a whole. Seems to me that the powers that be seeking parity with all the "third world" nations of the world and here in California we are well on our way....we now have no less than an average of two families per house in what used to be termed as "single family" residences. BUT, I guess that is O.K.
as long as I can get more stuff for myself at a cheaper price.
