I've been using this kit for a couple months now, and it is of excellent quality. I hate wimpy tweezers that flex together at the fingers when squeezed. I also can't stand those cheap toe nail clippers that won't cut a man-sized toe nail. There's nothing wimpy or cheap about the tools in this kit. Good stuff.

This is a well constructed item and I have no problems with any of the components being flimsy (like some tweezers). I originally ordered as a replacement for the kit I carry in my purse but I didn't check the measurements first. This is way too large to carry but it is a great replacement for the home kit.

I sent this set to my father for his birthday and he loves it. Everything in it is very high quality and as he says, "heavy duty." It's a great buy for the price.

Don't waste your money on this junk. In mine, the clippers/cutters are so dull, they won't even cut finger/toe nails without basically crushing them.

I was surprised to find stainless steel for $19. I should've known better... The quality is horrible. Could not return. It is cheaper to throw it away than ship it back.
1. Beware!!!! This is not a stainless steel, but cheap Chinese plated carbon steel that rusted in 2 days!
2. Toolzz are dull and can not be sharpened (poor quality steel... It is similar to sharpening wood)
3. Can not be sterilized (again, this is not stainless steel)
4. The Attractive Carrying Case turned out to be smelly, dusty and poor quality artificial pouch.
I'm not sure if this is even legal to misrepresent products like this.

Sight-unseen purchases are always a risk, and in the case of the Body Toolz kit, I wish I had seen it before buying. The implements vary in quality, some seem really well-made and some feel really cheap. Good news: everything works, and the alignment of the cutting edges is accurate enough to get clean cuts. Some of the "scissor" jointed tools bind but I think I can adjust and oil them to fix that. None of them have loose joints, which is nice.

This is a manicure set made in Pakistan. The handles are plastic, one of them came cracked, and the metal part is off-center. The scissors are not very sharp, the movement is difficult.

I bought this set as a gift, but when I saw it I fell too ashamed to gift it, and the price of shipping it back just wasn't worth it for me.

The set has several pieces, I haven't tried them all. The look and feel is very cheap, even though the black casing is nice, I wish they spent more time on the quality of the product to be used.

This review is actually based on the Deluxe manicure/pedicure kit, but I think it's relevant.

I purchased these recently for home use.

The products are decently made; nothing stellar, but probably as good as one could expect for the price of the kit.

A few issues: the scissors are not as sharp as they could be - you may want to sharpen them yourselves if you know how. The latches on the nippers are quite stiff, and difficult to open and close. One of the nippers does not re-open when you squeeze it closed, despite having a double spring designed to push it back open, so you have to pull it back open, which is awkward. There is also essentially no documentation of kit contents or usage (the box has a list of items included, but it doesn't entirely match what's there, not does it identify which thing is which).

Based on products alone, I'd have given it 3 stars - maybe even 4 taking into account price.

But I dropped it to 2 stars after I wrote the company asking for some additional information on the kit, and received a nasty response saying I had asked too many questions and should just return the product since I didn't know what I was doing! (Apparently you are required to have completed a training course before you buy products to maintain personal hygiene). Here's the exact text from the email I received in response to 5 questions about the products:
" this is more questions than I have received in 10 years of business. It seems to me you purchased some kits which you have no idea of their purpose and use. Rather than go through this entire list you may return these items".

Bottom Line: Acceptable quality but not problem-free, good price, surly customer support.

Poor quality item.

Zipper broke first time I used it.

The toe-nail clipper was not sharpened.

Made in Pakisten.

Made in Pakistan apparently is not synonymous to made with quality. Some pieces were rusted. Some pieces had glue all over them. I'm fairly sure the set was hand assembled. One handle cracked when I removed it from the case. I owned this kit for about 45 seconds then I threw it out. The cost and hassle of returning it is not worth it.

The delivery was fast.
