I am constantly losing my tweezers and the ones I haven't lost, I've lost to my son and husband for the models that they build. This set is too nice for me to allow them anywhere out of my purse unless I am personally using them. They come in a very nice looking and durable case that snaps closed and the individual tweezers have the protective plastic rings and covers to keep them in good shape. The tweezers also have an great grip and allow you to get even the thinnest and most stubborn hairs.
