I received this item today and I have 2 remarks. Like a previous reviewer said, the tool support is very bad and as shown in the product photograph, the blades section does not fit inside the lid. I will have to try and glue it to the lid. The second problem is that the hinges of box which I received were all broken. Other than these two issues, everything else were fine.

I rate this deluxe set 5 stars. This product is worth the money. The set was received in good condition and there were no issues found with the hinges or the box and all parts were received. I have not used all of the parts, but the ones I tried worked well, and all visually appeared to be of good quality. The tool handles in this kit did not use a breakable plastic collet mount as some of the poorer quality sets do--they were made of metal--and all straight blades I checked were about 0.025 thick and were sturdy and did not flex or bend like I have seen in lower quality sets.

No matter what your sex or hobby, this is one heck of a box of tools. My daughter tinkers and this is all the tools she needs. Great buy at a great price. This item is impossible to find in stores.

the tool support (plastic) in the box is about as bad as it gets.

As mentioned by other reviewers, the internal black casing is terrible. Weak plastic, and it does not fit the case. If you are buying this because it is a deluxe set - especially for the wooden case - look elsewhere. Otherwise, the tools seem OK.

20 years ago I owned the exact same set. So when i wanted to get back into modeling I just ordered another one.

What a mistake.

The box and inserts are already falling apart.

The handles feel flimsy and poorly balanced and are slick
instead of textured like "vintage" xacto.

The handles do not seem to grip the blades all that securely. I almost do not feel safe using them.

At least it has plenty of blades.

There are US manufactured hobby knives that do not cost much more than this junk and are much better quality.

I gave this set as a gift. The receipient was thrilled with the variety and usefulness of this product.

This is a great product.The price was really good. It was just as it was discribed in it's ad. i highly reccomend this product to anyone looking
for this type of tool.
