I have two Yetis that I bought at the SHOT when they first came out. One is a discontinued model. They will NOT honor the warranty. I told them it has a lifetime warranty. They just told me that they don't support that model anymore. So much for warranty work.
I bought 25 of the 105 QT Yetis about 5 years ago for a bunch of buddies. When it was all said and and done, I didn't end up with a single one! Got a better deal buying 25 though. There are a LOT of good knock-off coolers out there now. None of us should even want to buy a Yeti. They are over priced and now treasonous.

Charlie, that right there is a fine collection!
A good bottle opener should allow effortless movement.
Jag, of course you know it's Saturday night and all is alright....lol
the rusty bottle opener is stamped Weiland Brewery which started in the 1800's. It has a pretty cool history. http://www.oldbreweries.com/breweri...eweries/john-wieland-brewing-co-ca-369c/The one Jim sent me is pretty old too.....I mean how long has it been since Pabst made beer in bottles that weren't twist off or cans without a pop top. He found it at a thrift store of yard sale IIRC.

I've paid 25K for a rifle, but WONT give 500 bucks for a damn ice chest, never bought into that BS anyway, and to hell with commie yeti for damn sure now. Gunner: post a pic of your $25k rifle...I want to see that beauty! 😎

True...I bought one from a guy on E -Bay that had bought a bunch for gifts to his company's vendors and was selling the extras. I think I saved about $75 IIRC......a good cooler but still over priced even with his bulk discount. I won't buy any more of their stuff but I don't see how destroying the one I have like some have suggested would punish Yeti.

YETI is simply a private equity firm that purchased YETI in 2012. They could care less about warranty requests on older models. I may be a stupid yankee but I'm a frugal one. I never saw the attraction to a $350 dollar cooler in the first place. It's up to Sportsman and women to blackball YETI now and drive them under.

Anyone tried the new Lifetime coolers they are selling at Wal Mart for $99? Looks pretty darned good for the price.

I am glad I went with RTIC. And I hope RTIC and the rest are all listening. I'm happy with my RTIC, got it on sale for $80.

Hopefully, this will be the nail in the coffin for Yeti and a wake up call to other companies. Sportsmen are what made Yeti.

I gotta see this bottle opener. Dude next time you are driving through da Point, stop by and I will gift it to you. Or give me your address. Seriously. It is 3/4 of a pound, that's like 24 oz's! Dug through the drawer and found a Rtic opener as well. (lame) My fav is the Ace hardware paint can opener, it lives on the counter. Them's some pretty high tone openers Sam. I used this old rusty one I found camping about 40yrs ago until recently when Jim Conrad sent me the fancy PBR opener. Took me a while to figure out how to use it.....apperently one end is for opening cans. i am familar with both of those from a different age, prior to poptop beer cans. The top one often called a "churchkey" for the youngins on here. girls in my generation would sharpen the can opener side, and carry it behind the big western belt buckle on their jeans. You didn't come up and grab them from behind, they could reach down grab that little device, and rip a face pretty good. Self defense item.

"Churchkey" I had forgotten that one. Always had one in the car and tackle box back then. Could double as a "can opener" in a pinch.
