Well, in this day and age, where nobody seems to care anymore where you can buy something expensive online and it often just comes in a bag that says "Made by to China and shipped in a flimsy box, you'll lose all your balls as these bits are packaged bulletproof for the most part. When was the last time you bought quality tools in a wooden box? My set was professionally packed. The box was stable and undamaged. somewhere! The box was then wrapped in about 15 feet of styrofoam and then packed into a large box with lots of peanuts. I have not seen such care in packaging in the last 30 years! I'll take out the pieces. I could just try heating the bits or shafts with a heat gun and see if that works. Yes. If necessary, I'll break open the box. I paid for the Beats, not the box, and besides, they've come a long way and played well. The beats are great, terribly sharp and look very well done. I can't wait to try them out tomorrow. Will update this review at some point in the future once I've checked everything.
