Nice set that just doesn't fit

This set is basically great. What I liked: It's self-contained. There is space for tools, bits, screwdrivers, extension cords, etc. Everything fits well and is clearly arranged. The bits are hard enough not to break through the hardened screws. The driver is very versatile - the connector is thin and you really get into those hard-to-reach places. Not as tight as the dedicated driver, but pretty close. The screwdriver also pops out a few inches to give you better access to those really deep threaded slots. They should have a variety of bits for every occasion and the bits that I spot checked were well shaped and seated properly in/on the appropriate screw types. They even installed 3.8mm/4.5mm game bits correctly (many sets I've tried either misshaped the recess or made the walls too thick for the bit to fit in the screw recess). What I didn't like: Well, there's only one thing I didn't like, but it's a bit doozy. As someone who still has the tool kits I got thirty years ago as a kid, keeping and organizing your tools is almost as important as making sure the tools are well made. If there is no place in the set to put everything, things will get lost faster. At first glance, this set does a great job of making everything visually appealing and easily accessible. Unfortunately, the molded tray that holds everything in place is a cheap vacuum mold that's basically disposable - it's exactly the same material you'll find modern toys made out of - it's just meant to hold things in place hold while not opening the package, take out the item and throw it away. . My set arrived with a corner already broken. This material is not intended for permanent use and will break down over time even if you babysit it. Without the flimsy temporary plastic holder, it's just an empty plastic box with nothing to even hold the parts. It's a shame, otherwise it's a great set for the price.

Pros
  • Easy to use
