Pros: Nice small set of 12 differend screwdriver heads and a solid metal body in which you can store 5 of the 6 bits (one has two).
I was surprised that it even has a tigram (or similar) head. I tried and it does work on Nintendo's screws.

Cons: Metal isn't the sturdiest and the threads make a "cheap" noice when you screw the cap on or off.
Would be nicer to carry around if all the bits went in to the body, but you have to have one screw'd on place all the time.

Other Thoughts: Nothing to add I guess.

Bottomline: Nice and cheap little screwdriver set with 12 differend driver heads.

Excellent mini screwdriver

Pros: An excellent mini screwdriver for fixing small things around the house. A total of 6 bits are available (tri-bit (shaped like a Y), standard, Phillips, and 3 Torx (star shaped)). The bits slide in relatively easily, and the nut tightens well so that the bits won't slide out.

Cons: You can only store 5 bits in the barrel, even though the screwdriver set comes with 6 bits. The last bit must be either left exposed (i.e. in the operational state), or you will have to sacrifice one bit. So far, I have not found a purpose for the tri-bit, so I do not usually carry this in the screwdriver barrel. The threads on the screw cap that cover the storage barrel is a little squeaky, and I am afraid that it may become loose with time.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: For this price, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. If you need a small screwdriver to perform small hardware tasks at home, or require a small hobby screwdriver, then this is the perfect purchase.

Decent driver for some tasks, not for others.

Pros: The driver itself is nice and small, and so are the bits. Would be excellent to use on small screws (but definitely not medium size ones)

Cons: Not all of the bits fit into the handle! (even when one bit is in the driver) This is a huge inconvenience, and negates the purpose of the bit holding capabilities. Also, the bits do wiggle even when firmly secured. The metal is not finished very well either.

Other Thoughts: There's a clip so that you can clip it onto something.

The package mentions "Special Rubber and Easy to Handle" but I don't see any rubber whatsoever on the screwdriver.

Bottomline: Decent driver to use on small screws.
