Excellent as always

Wera are the best in the business when it comes to providing quality screwdrivers and bits. This is a very nice kit and should last anyone a while. It's nice that it includes hex plus as opposed to standard hex, as these can be used to undo rounded socket head fasteners, and it's worth trying them before you risk a torx bit.

The bits seem to be in a random order, but it's nice to sort them out, so you get to see what you just bought. These are good bits, as always. The case is nice and it holds the bits well, mostly. If you hold it vertical one way then the bits sometimes fall out, some of them. They fall out of their slots in the case though, not out of the case.

A problem I have with the case however, and I'm not sure if it's broken or is supposed to work like this, is that when I open the case, the bits don't stand up. I have to pull up a row of them to make them stand up. When I close the case though, they all go flat, as you would expect. I also expected the case to make them stand on opening, so I'm not sure if that's just a problem with my set or an intended "feature", or lack of.

The rapidaptor is a nice addition and is the main reason I bought this particular set. Once you buy Wera bits, you will see there is no reason to buy any other make. Wera are expensive, but they will last many jobs before rounding off, so it's worth it in the long run if you use a screwdriver more than once every decade ;)
