As has already been stated by others, this is a quality kit. After carefully considering a number of others, I chose this one primarily because of the hardened bolt. While researching various kits, it would've been very helpful if the ad provided the same info as what's clearly stated on page 1 of the instruction booklet (attached here for everyone's benefit).
The kit arrived with a bit of damage to the blow-molded case, but it's minor and only on the inside, so no big deal. Frankly, I'm surprised it wasn't more damaged considering how heavy each of the dies is and how much the box must've been thrown around before it arrived.
The tool worked great on the rear axle of my 2007 Mercedes GL320 CDI. Tip for those doing the GL bearings - use a grinder to cut a notch in the die so that the ABS sensor need not be removed, because it will surely break on the way out! Note that doing this voids your tool's warranty, so decide ahead of time if it is worth modding in your circumstance.
For the benefit of those more familiar with the metric system, you'll need a 32mm socket and/or wrench to work with this tool.
I couldn't be happier with this purchase. It made a nasty job easy!
