Discussion
This looks to be a thoughtfully configured kit.
I think maybe a bit handle and rail with a couple of bits might have worked well as an inclusion or in lieu of one of the fixed-handle screwdrivers. That would have allowed for a Pozidriv #2 bit tip, which would work well for Ikea furniture.
I would also argue that there’s a need for inch hex keys as well, but if the choice is between metric or inch, the metric might be used more frequently.
KC Tool has offered curated product selections before, but this looks to be the first time they’re bundling a bunch of different tools from various brands together, and in a custom-fit case. It’ll be interesting to see how well this kit sells, and if the concept will be expanded upon.
