These people actually have a number of similar kits -- all-in-one
magnetized screwdrivers, adhesive kits, and so forth.  I have their
nuts & bolts kit and screwdriver kit.  They are everything the company
says, and well worth it.  Two things to keep in mind.  First, the claim
that the nuts and bolts are "high quality."  What that means depends on
who you talk to; these are hardware-grade parts.  They are not for use
in high-stress environments (you can tell this by the top of the bolts.
The smooth surface is hardware-grade; if there were three radial raised
lines they would be grade 5; if there were 6 they would be grade 8).
Second, they only come in standard heads.  Don't look to exactly
replace anything that needs, say, a small size head.  Basically, the
same stuff Ernst sells, at a much better price.
