If memory serves, "Frustration-free" packaging is packaging that is easier to open. Sometimes, more than likely, frustration-free packaging will take longer to ship than standard packaging.

Frustration Free, the drive just comes in a cardboard envelope. Regular packaging, the drive cones in the plastic packaging that is impossible to open.

Frustration free is usually all cardboard and very easy to open. Standard is often difficult to open.

I would say that the Frustration-Free Packing is supposed to be easier to open. The bucket with the blocks didn't come in a plastic bag, it was just in the box. Makes for very easy access. Hope this helps :)

Standard packaging is the thick, secured plastic packaging you may find at a local store. It's the packaging you have to use some super scissors or a razor blade to cut through...and hopefully not slicing your finger. Hence, the frustration-free packaging which is a cheaper packaging. If you owned a store front, you may want to get the standard packaging to minimize people stealing your product...however, if you are like me who is just buying the product...it's a nice alternative that reduces your cost of the exact same product.

Standard packaging is like you'd find at any store if you went to buy the product. Frustration-free packaging is meant to be simpler and easier to open. There are no twist-ties or zip-ties holding things to the packaging. Frustration-free packaging is also in basically just a plain brown cardboard box (in my experience).See this: http://www.amazon.com/b/?&node;=5521637011

i wish i had read this earlier. it looks like the frustration-free packaging comes with two brush heads while the retail packaging only comes with one. i would have gotten the frustration-free packaging if i had known that.

There is a little teeny tiny itsy bitsy place to click on next to the ships and sold from Amazon.com that explains frustration free packaging. This was not a choice when I bought this product, but it was just the original box of the products inside a slightly bigger box, just so they could slap a shipping label on it. Just as easy for this product.

Frustration free packaging arrives in a cardboard box sealed with a piece of tape, at least that's what it was in my case.

Just easier to unpack. Something like this it probably wouldn't make much difference. Things like batteries, etc that are packaged in those hard plastic holders is another story. Personally, if the cost is the same as stated below, I would always opt for the frustration-free. ;-)

I noticed as of today, 6/7/14, that there are two prices listed--$12.54 for frustration free packaging and $25.99 for standard packaging. Don't know the difference in the packaging. That is quite strange in my opinion. I would definitely opt for the cheaper price instead of the doubled price. I had never seen that before when I ordered it.

I'm not really sure what you mean by 'frustration free packaging' but, if you mean is it hard to open the package? From what I remember, no. It was in a box and securely wrapped. Hope this helped!

It comes in a simple package that doesn't require power tools to open. I'm sure you know that many things come in plastic that requires, at least, a sharp pair of scissors. Frustration free just means that it doesn't come in that type of packaging and you will be able to remove it from the box/envelope and use it immediately.

The frustration free packaging was just the box it was shipped in. A cardboard box. Inside that was the tools in plastic bags, with the drill in a cardboard holder. So no it was no suitable packaging for a gift.
