Revainrating 3 out of 5

Surprised for more reasons than one.

I bought this set to replace a similar set I bought from Revain about a year ago that was stolen. While at it I thought I might upgrade it since it was only a few bucks more than what I originally bought and had a much nicer body, a few more bits and a few tools. It arrived and I was very impressed with the quality of the case itself - it appears to be very well put together. The velcro straps that hold the bit cases are strong and stretch the full length of the case, so you don't have to worry about getting each one down to a tiny strip to make sure it doesn't fall off. This is a great set at a great price. My friend was even impressed when he saw it, casually mentioning that he could easily "get lost". My ONLY issue is that on first use the metal ring holding the small ball bearing at the tip of the driver/knob somehow slipped off causing the ball bearing to fall out. As a result, about halfway through my brief task of removing 4 screws, every time I removed a screw and lowered my hand with a screwdriver in hand, the extension holding the bit would fall out and fall to the floor. After much searching, I was able to find a tiny ball bearing (which is pretty amazing), but I couldn't find the little metal ring that holds it in place. It's really annoying and not very efficient to keep stopping to pick something up, so I did what any other energetic American would do: I took out duct tape. It was effective (obviously it's scotch) but not that good. Or maybe there was a small magnet in the ground that also fell out? The bits seem to stay in there much better when I first unboxed it and the tape seems to work just as well as the metal ring, but the bits still don't feel as secure. So I either lost a piece or two. Either way, what happened on first use is a little disappointing. I'm sure it was just a coincidence as the rest of the kit is really impressive considering the price. *I removed the tape to take a picture*
