Supplied in storage box, hard plastic. Practice. Comes with forests and various accessories. I'm no expert, being handyman, but for me it works very well. Yes it is a bit heavy but no doubt like all such products. I can compare it to a smaller model, there is no picture! It sends heavy! This requires a period of adaptation to use it properly but I have not been able to complete my "site" if I had not bought. It is an essential tool in my opinion with good ergonomics.
