These helped take a messy drawer and turn it into an organized tool drawer. Highly recommend!

I am very pleased with this purchase as it satisfied my needs!!

Muy completo el kit de herramientas, al principio me parecía un poco costoso, pero entendí que es porque son herramientas diseñadas por el fabricante y no son corrientes. Cada una de ellas viene en su propio blister de fábrica. Es bueno que los estuches traigan 10 cuchillas porque al menos hay suficientes para rato, porque por lo menos el set de hojas delgadas de refill es muy costoso y sólo traes cinco hojas.

Overall the kit is great but deducted a star due to the long nose marker being of very low quality and was already dry on my first use.

Expensive but works great for packing a lot of tools in a small space with expensive Kaizen foam. I could have gotten by with an Xacto knife, but I figured I will be making more Kaizen cases, and these are the tools you need. The long-point marker is really important for getting the line close to the object. Then you set the blade depth to the level you need and go carefully around the inside edge of the outline. The fatter blade give you more leverage, but I found I used the thin blade more often because I was making a LOT of rounded shapes with tight corners. You can usually pull up the foam layers with your fingers, but in a couple of very tight and deep holes I used needle-nose pliers to reach down and pinch the foam and pull it out. You can wipe away the silver lines from the marker after cutting using a damp rag. The kit includes a bunch of replacement blades. At first I thought those were useless, but in fact the razor edges start to get dull and drag on the foam after a half-dozen holes, which can lead to ragged edges. So take advantage of the extra blades and swap them out to get back to the feeling of a hot knife going through butter. Make sure you are EXTREMELY careful swapping out those sharp blades so you don't get cut! Check out the photo of the carrying case I made for my band's collection of microphones using ONREVA foam with a red interior . I like the red "shadow" because it lets me know I forgot to put a mic away!
