Rare miss for Felo - needs better bit retention and case lining

Generally I've been very impressed with Felo tools. However, this set might be the exception that proves the rule. My set was missing the Smart handle, but KC Tool's typically excellent customer service quickly sent one over. The case and that handle are my disappointments. The other Felo cases (ratchet sets, bit boxes) have nicely cut foam. This one is lined with thin molded plastic, and I do not expect it to last long. The Smart handle bit retention is not great. There's a ball bearing backed by a rubber plug. It holds the nut drivers OK, but the bitholder floats in it. It's like using power bits in a Wiha Ultradriver. On the plus side, it has a useful collection of sizes and bits.

Felo

Continuously operating since 1878 and based in the city of Neustadt since 1950, Felo has distinguished itself through continuous innovation. Holding over 260 patents for their designs, and manufacturing over 2,000 different tools, Felo is most well-known for its Ergonic handle. One of the first multi-component handles, the Ergonic design combines two materials of differing softness with injected flexible gel. This results in a handle that adapts to the pressure of the user's hand, allowing maximum torque transmission and less strain on hands and joints. Other innovations include the first Titanium-Nitride coating on bits for greater wear resistance, the first interchangeable blade screwdriver for electricians, as well as the unique K-handle bit driver. All Felo products are made in their own factory in Germany and feature a lifetime warranty.
