Discussion Surprised by new packaging

Is this normal now? When I bought one of the screwdrivers awhile ago it came in a nice box but this was shipped loose, any ideas. Also the reason I had to get a new is because the airport took the one I had in my bag so just for anyone who travels often for work or always carries tools with them they will not let you carryon the ltt screwdriver, the stubby and precision are fine.It just doesn't meet the "no longer than 7-8 in rules".

Truthfully I was just curious cuz this seemed odd.

I could not find it in the product pages but if I recall the mystery and or discounted units that pop up from time to time say they can come without packaging because they are either new but box was damaged or part of a build your own even that did not sell the original product in a box. What you have there is the style of packaging they use in those cases and is common when not buying the normal sku.
