Otto Frei Basic Jewelers Kit

This is a pretty good setup for a beginner. The tools are decent quality. It seems like some of the tools are covered in some kind of oil before they're packaged, which made the box a complete mess. The jeweler's saw was completely drenched in oil, and it was leaking into the rest of the box. Also, two other tools have a dark brown oil all over them, but thankfully those didn't leak. (Most steel tools will have a protective coating of grease to prevent rust. Tool steel will rust if exposed to the elements but you want tools made from regular steel, not softer stainless steel. We will make sure we pack those saw frames in a zipper bag so the oily grease doesn't escape). Otto Frei One thing I wish this set included was a bench pin. I should have looked more closely at the item list and bought one separately, but it still seems like an essential item for a beginners jewelry kit. Especially one that comes with a saw. Also, it comes with 3 packs of the same size saw blades. Would be nice to have a few different sizes to get started with. (Good idea! We have added a bench pin and made the saw blade assortment 3 different sizes) Otto Frei Overall a nice kit, but the packaging was a complete mess.
