Not Made in Germany; Misleading Picture
No longer made in Germany. Case has "Bit Selector 1/4" instead of what's shown in the item picture. It's also missing the "Made in Germany" part. The back of the packaging even has the old picture, which seems incredibly lazy.
Upon examination, I would guess that the T5 and T6 bits are made in a different factory than the rest of them, since they're laser engraved and not stamped. The 1/4" holder was also of an incredibly poor quality, which came out of the packing extremely marred and with a very faint roll mark.
My guess is that the box is made in Vietnam, the T7-T30 in Germany, and the rest in Taiwan. I'm not a tool snob or anything, but if I wanted a cheapo set of bits without any regard to quality I would have gone to the local home improvement store instead of paying 3x as much on Amazon. Wiha, choose carefully where you decide to cut corners, because at the same time, you'll end up cutting customers.
