To be honest I'm not sure every household has a set! It's like not having a hammer! I used to have a small set of punchers and was very happy with them. I'm also not sure what happened to him. Not realizing how many times I've complained about not having a punch or drill guide, my wife decided to buy this set (I prefer great quality gear wrenches at a low price). This pack is huge! There is everything you need for a home master. Clean, heavy, durable. There is nothing unusual about the carrying case, almost all punch sets come in the same packaging, if not all. However, I want them to start with a flap at the end so that the last hit doesn't tend to fall out or hold elements when thrown.
