I bought this kit for the pliers and liked that the jumprings come in a sorter box. I probably won't even use all the sizes, but this is great for just starting out.
I counted the lobster claws and it did say "Approximately 40", there were only 37. No big deal. But I counted the next thing and it was 18 short. So, I counted everything.
qty - item - variance
37 - Lobster Claw Clasps - (3)
47 - 10 mm - +3
72 - 8 mm - (18)
113 - 7 mm - (7)
125 - 6 mm - (45)
266 - 5 mm - +16
324 - 4 mm - +24
Total variance is short 30 pcs. This doesn't really impact my needs for this kit, but thought it may be useful to someone else who needed specific amounts that they may want to check their counts or order additional supplies.
Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. It was well organized, easy to sort and arrived in good condition.
the container and the jump rings themselves are great. Everything is well sealed and you don't have to worry about the container coming open during Transit and jump rings all over the place because each set of jump rings is wrapped and sealed in plastic.
I don't like about it is that nothing is labeled! There's nothing on the package or in the shipment that tells me what size jump rings these are and what size wire it is let alone aspect ratio... it would have been nice for them to add that in so that I knew what jump rings I could use for what projects. But if you're doing projects that only require a single size jump ring or you're using at for jewelry findings, they work great.
my package was missing the curved tweezers which was really disappointing. I wanted those and I paid for them so I expected to receive them. As for the other tools, they're okay. Nothing to write home about but they get the job done. I doubt that they will hold up with regular use. The spring mechanism that makes the pliers work for instance, is only held in place with plastic coating. Eventually it will peel off the, unusable I'm afraid. For now they get the job done. My only complaint is that the wire cutters are very dull. I can even cut the thinnest of hard wires with them. I was really disappointed about that as well because it was one of the reasons I bought the package deal. I wouldn't recommend these chill anyone who plans on doing it jewelry or chain mail long-term. These work for a project or two but not much more than that. do yourself a favor and invest in some real tools if that's why you're buying this. If you're buying it for the jump rings, I go elsewhere for those two since none of them are labeled and you don't really know what you're getting or what you're using so that you can replicate your work.
I'm sure serious jewelery makers could find things wrong with this set, but for my needs (occasional small repairs or projects) it's great. All of the pliers work well and seem reasonably sturdy, and the findings look nicer than I expected. The little case is a nice addition and stays closed (but isn't difficult to open, either). This is an incredibly good value for all that is included.
This is an excellent set at an excellent price. To me the smaller rings are useless to me because they are so small but the top 3 sizes and the lobster clasps are enough to make a few bracelets and get you started. Very happy with this for 9.99!
This is a great kit for the value. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the tools for the price. Would recommend!!

Good assortment of rings and the tools are great. Glad I got them
I love that all the rings and clasps came in a sectioned off case with a place for each size and type. The tools were good quality. I bought this set mostly because I needed the o rings and a tool but I think this set was a great value for all this it comes with.
Great product for the price. Very pleasantly surprised.
This is a great kit for the beginner or casual jewelry maker, or anyone with a costume jewelry collection. I bought it to repair some necklaces and bracelets. It has everything I will ever need for this purpose. These are not the highest quality tools you'll ever find, but they work well and will hold up to light or medium use just fine.
This is a very good set for jewelry making but the plier cutter for some reason won't cut. Even the flat nose pliers which also has a small section for cutting won't cut either and I've tried. However, the pliers are still usable just not the plier cutter not sure what I'll do with it since it doesn't cut.
