Review on 🔪 X-Acto X5087 X-ACTO Hobbytool Set: Deluxe 30-Piece Kit for Arts, Crafts, and Pumpkin Carving by Kelly Caballes

I had high hopes for this set, it looks very nice and seems to contain a useful set of items. But that's where it all ends. The blades are okay and the handles feel strong, but that's about it. I would say one star is generous and far from what I was expecting given the price. - A box made of cheap MDF. - Some genius came up with the idea of gluing the top insert AFTER it's wrapped in plastic. So as soon as you unroll it, it will detach and fall out. - The plastic inserts don't even fit properly in the box. - The block level is unusable. There is a massive burr on the neck and the blade doesn't even adjust properly, it retracts at the odd look despite my best efforts to tighten the screw. - All notches and cutting edges have been sharpened with an INSIDE edge. . So you can't even use them, except at a horribly awkward angle that will likely result in you cutting too deep. The pin vise had bent one of its jaws before I even used it. Perhaps the razor was the only halfway respectable item. But even that is very annoying to adjust the blade properly. One latch and it shifts and you can't tighten it tight for fear of removing the screw. I'm sending it back because the top bolt/pin for the copier saw was also missing. Burnt out from a formerly respectable brand, never again.
