Reviews:
1st, they come wrapped inside the box with tight cellophane that is a bit of a task to remove. But that's good as it keeps all the blades and handles in place during shipping.
The background the tools and blades fit into are made of thin, breakable plastic. The tool handles are somewhat difficult to remove from this backing, especially the larger handle. The blade box backing is of the same material. But a long strip of magnetic material is embedded in the top background. The blades are easy to remove from the background and just sit in place. The magnetic material keeps them affixed to the top of the case. Now if you were to drop this case, you would still likely have the blades scattered about inside. But this magnetic material keeps the average bump or thump from dislodging them.
The pressed wood case itself is actually quite nice looking. And amazingly, its got mitered corners. I can't quite tell if they are real miters or just very carefully made to look like they are. But the box is a welcome part of this kit. And if you prefer to have your blades and handles sitting in a pencil cup or something rather than put away in a case, you could always remove the plastic backgrounds and use this little box for other things. This box has a metal clip that holds it closed. That's far better than the plastic ones I've got with other kits that break off after a few openings and closings. It would no doubt shatter or break the wood if dropped hard. But it serves as a nice box for keeping the blades and handles in one place and out of the surrounding air and moisture. Also as you break or dull the blades, you can buy replacements which can take their place in the box just as the originals did. Another thing great about this box is for loaning to other family members or friends. If they lose or don't return part of the kit, the box inserts will show you right away an empty spot where a blade or handle is missing.
