He's right !
Its happened to me on 4 occasions now even when I have been careful making sure its screwed on properly and not cross threaded.

Make sure it's not cross threaded, I always pick it up from the straps, the back packs are good though

no. Cant believe how fast the gardeners one is. on highest setting it would empty in no time. Might fill it up & see how long it lasts on highest setting.

I've got the Gardiner Backpack, never had a problem with the lid handle. I just put a tiny amount of silicon lube on the thread and it's ok for ages. Never had the lid come off whilst carrying it. Decent backpack.
