Advantages: I've been making use of it for well over a year. A really useful set, particularly for twisting in tight spaces where a screwdriver would be useless due to the lack of space. The ratchet is operating as it should, and all of the heads and bits are in good shape. It's not something I use on a daily basis, but I still think it's money well spent. I accidentally trod on it a few times, but because it was completely invisible under my feet, the lid was unharmed. Despite its diminutive dimensions, it is able to resolve a wide variety of problems despite taking up little room and weighing almost nothing. Chrome looks almost brand new. I never leave the house without it stowed away in my purse. Different drawbacks: when it arrived, the latch mechanism flew out, but because of how snugly it fit, it still closed in the same manner. Even the magnet that was attached to the extension cord fell loose.
