Great tools, but there are a few questions.

Overall great tools for the price. They cut easily and the grip is good. But the large V cutter was not sharpened properly, one side of the V cutter is uneven in relation to the other side.

I would rate this 5/5 if not for these issues. I'm considering returning this set in hopes of getting a proper set. But again…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember

Pros
  • Great price
Cons

Too bad I just didn't get the full size sling kit because the mini kit is full of heartbreak and disappointment. (And yes, I followed the instructions in the really useless book that…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Damaged
