As mentioned in other reviews edges had some burs. A file and 15 minutes took care of the burs. It took longer to get the blue plastic rap off. Manual does not include the size of nuts/bolts. That's ok I plan on replacing the bolts on the sides with bolts/wingnuts/lock washers and having a supply of extras when I misplace/lose any. The unit is in three sections, the feed (with flare) then two sections, each with riffles, angled mesh, miners moss and carpet. Feed section has about a 1/2 inch lip to get to the 2nd sections riffles, mesh, moss and carpet. Not sure if this is going to be an issue or not. Section 2 to 3 had a gap of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. I expanded the holes in the carpet,mesh to try and close the gap, again not sure if this is an issue or not. It came with a carry strap and a bag but I got rid of both as when folded it fits in a 5 gallon bucket. It looks to be sturdy enough for my needs.

Awesome

The potential for a severe injury is real. These edges have not been sanded down and are like knives. I am not exaggerating. For such a wonderful product that is Affordable compared to other competitors to be out on the market, these people have done some great work but they can spend the five extra minutes to send the edges on every piece of metal. I have never seen such a sharp object shipped and received in the USA before. Well I have, and they were Chef knives. These are very sharp. That is the first thing I would fix. And it will be fixed in hours today and then where it folds in between the seams there is no batting to catch the gold and the gold has potential of falling through. I am going to add a long mat with holes through the center so that there is no loss of gold. I would replace the black mat or add to it underneath. We are going to do that today. It's just as a safety precaution. Those are the only two things I would change. The price of this when compared to competitors is incredibly good and it is a really nice good quality sluice. It is very unfortunate about the edges I cannot stress enough how dangerous this is.

Easily fits into a pack when out prospecting for gold, along with a shovel and other items.

When it showed up it was missing some of the hardware and the assembly tools provided were garbage. I went to the hardware store and purchased the missing wing nuts and washers so no big deal. The folding is nice for being compact. But that is also where the problem is as well. The inlet constantly moves changing your water flow which messes everything up. Also having to remove the inlet every time you want to fold it to store is a hindrance to productivity.

Perfect for hiking up the mountain creeks. Budget Miners best friend

I first had an Issue with shipping but it was quickly resolved by the seller. I got the sluice everything was cool. There was some easily assembly, The edges are kinda sharp and the film on the stainless was kinda difficult to pull off. But all and all a good product.I would recommend the seller put the wingnuts and bolts in a sealed plastic bag so they are not rolling around in the box. But everything was in there.

It's not so easy to put together when it is missing pieces! This item required a trip to the hardware store in order to put together as it was missing some of the hardware. It is a good thing I attempted a preassembly at home before I went out to the field as the hardware store would have been over 2 hours away! It would sure be nice if there was better quality control when it comes to these products. Making sure the buyer has what they need in order to use it without making any special trips is paramount to a satisfied buyer.
