First and foremost I'd like to say that this is the most beautifully designed driver set I've ever touched. The outer casing is reminiscent of a power bank, and the screw driver itself is extremely well machined. The bits that come in the kit are Wiha, which is very impressive for the price range, and hence they're extremely durable.
For me, however, the kit lacks some larger hex sizes which I'd rather see over some of the more obscure bits in the kit. The case has a very nice aluminum shell, with a cool push-to-open mechanism, but the mechanism is sometimes a little squeaky, and the plastic on the inside is not nearly as luxurious as the outer shell may lead you to believe. And though the push-to-open mechanism is cool, from a functionality standpoint, I'm not a huge fan. When you remove the insert to access the tool, you're left with a separate outer case to clutter your workspace.
Case aside, the screwdriver itself is very nice in the hand. However, it is a tad long and a little thinner in the grip section than I would have liked. This is perfectly fine for most jobs, but a wider barrel would make it a little easier to loosen tight screws, and a shorter length could make it easier to wield precisely for smaller hands. Other than that, the rotating end is a nice touch, and the flat sides of the body make it easy to grip.
Overall, I'm being nit-picky here. This is a beautiful tool set with quality bits and great value for the price, and makes a great gift for anyone who occasionally takes apart electronics or other precision mechanisms. However, I do feel like some practicality was sacrificed by the designers in favor of making a beautiful product. For me, a tool kit like iFixit's Pro Tech kit is a better fit. Though slightly more expensive and not nearly as pretty, the iFixit kit contains more bits that are usable for me, a more practical driver, and a case lid that doubles as a loose screw holder.
