Supplied in a cardboard box - you need to have a box where to carry, but I think this is why the price is lower than the boxed versions. The rest of the instrument is great. I protect the speed control as the most important function, there are fewer sparks, you can sharpen anything at the required speed and not burn the cutting edges, grind boards without leaving burns and much more thanks to the reduction in speed, the main thing is to choose the right speed and not choke the tool, then it will serve you for a long time.
