The first lace set I bought (Irwin) came in a cheap plastic bag which soon wore out. These Bosch bits are neatly packaged in a durable fabric case that will last. (I keep my saber saw blades in a smaller Bosch case that has withstood years of abuse and is still in great condition.) If you keep bits on the wall in your workshop, you might not care. but I always carry mine with me, so this case is a big plus for me.
