Overpriced Tool Kit

No way does this set cost $53. I would say maximum 30€. The center hole (for slotted screws) is slightly off-center. The two-position handle just snaps into the T-shaped center holder (where you insert the tool). The straight holder does not fix the tool in it, so the tool (shanks) just falls out of the handle. The design of the handle has serious flaws. The deformed part of the metal insert is visible on the handle (where the shaft fits). You had to use a spring clip inside to hold the tool (which is common with other tools) or a magnet. With use, the deformation flattens out, making it impossible to keep the shaft in place. The plastic case also looks cheap. Not sure how long the loop will last with frequent opening/closing. Luckily I won't be using this set very often. The two-position plastic button also feels very cheap. Luckily, you don't need a lot of torque to remove/tighten a fastener this size. A good part of this kit is the 1/4" hex to 1/4" square drive adapter. This allows you to use a 1/4" ratchet (or screwdriver) to use these bits without the awkward grip. I haven't seen pent head bolts before, but there are a ton of them in this set. One end of the rod is a five blade and the other end is a regular torx hex wrench.
