It doesn't come with a metal box, just a tray for putting in a drawer not sure if you noticed that?

It looks for all the world like my Silverline set, which was indeed a good servant. Problem is if you're working on a car and space is tight ratchets like that have a large arc of movement on the lever before the ratchet engages, worst case; you can't tighten/untighten the nut.

Depends what you're using it for and how frequently. If it just occasional it'll probably do, if it's a "buy right, buy once" I would be tempted to push the boat out a little further.
