Comes in a nice blue plastic case with indents cut out to size for each piece and the sizes marked in relief, with a foam sheet in the lid to keep the pieces from rattling. The pieces look well made with no sign of cheap material or rough workmanship. Just used the 10mm to remove the transmission and differential drain plugs in my car — both of these haven’t been disturbed in years and the differential plug was especially frozen solid. Had to brace against something and put both arms on a long torque wrench to break that open, which finally gave up with a loud pop like a gun shot. Cleaned up the bit afterwards, and there’s not the slightest sign of wear or damage. I’m very happy with it — with proper cleaning and care these will serve well for many a long

My 1/4″ drive torque wrench doesn’t go that high and I need to use the 3/8″ drive torque wrench. So, I can’t use the Capri Tools 1/4″ bit without an adapter. I ended up buying a cheap 3/8″ drive bit set from Harbor Freight to torque these screws. My coworkers have sets from other companies and their
