Pros

Value for money is great as well as the sturdiness of the case. The knife holders feel good in my hands and are of high quality. The case seems sturdy and holds all the items in place.

Nice storage pouch. But gets easier after the first time it’s zipped closed. Nice set and nice to have the handy storage box.

Very nice hobby knife kit for beginners. I am an avid crafter, and these have come in super handy in so many different applications.



Cons

The zipper case is so mismeasured that i basically had to crush the internal components to get the zipper to work. The case is junk. The wood-cased versions are no better.

The packaging is overkill. Im not entirely ocnvinced this is a legit x-acto product.

One blade seems to be dirty and is noticeably darker than the rest. The blade slots are poorly magnetized, so the extra blades fall out every time the case it jostled.

Competitiveness


Also, you can saturate a q-tip with wd-40 and lubricate the teeth for smoother action.


The x-acto kit came with three handles with blades installed.


If you need an x-acto kit, buy it!


The difference between x-acto and lesser expensive brands is more than just a little noticeable.
