One build definitely is not a thorough test, but they did seem to do just fine. Nothing broke or bent.
They came with a hammer that has four interchangeable striking surfaces. One rubber, one plastic, one brass, and one steel. That worked well enough for driving pins, and for staking the castle nut. It also came with a pair of plastic forceps for holding pins. They worked, sorta, but a pair of needlenose pliers worked a lot better.
The 9/64" roll pin punch was bent out of the box. At first I was kinda pissed about that, until I figured out that it worked really well for the bolt catch roll pin. Don't know if they bent that punch on purpose for that reason, but it did work out well.
Everything came in a plastic case that you could mount to the wall if you wanted, to keep everything organized and close at hand.
