Pros: + Packed with a bunch of rare tips, making it extremely useful for unscrewing all those consoles and phones
+ Has a place to store them
+ Nice design
+ Cheap, really
+ Even with crappy build quality it's still pretty strong


Cons: - Pretty crappy build quality
- Covered in oil a bit, damnit :( And still lacks oil in part where it's needed.
- Can't store all the tips, one must remain.


Other Thoughts: Still haven't used it :)
However, it's better then buying all those screwdrivers it can replace.


Bottomline: I think this thing still should be in tools collection, however I expected much more from it.


Great for hobbiests

Pros: Works perfect for what i bought it for, general dismantling of cellular phones/small electronics. Good grip for fat fingers (Deep Texture)


Cons: Burr of metal in tip caused what i thought was a non locking unit. (was blocking the bit from tightning) Chrome/Nickel plating i would rate at 6.5 on a scale of 1-10 due to what looks like chipping.


Other Thoughts: for the price, you cant beat the compact functionality of this product, i purchased this for only one job but ended up using it for sooooooooo much more!!!


Bottomline: an item that turned out to be better then i thought based on the price, once again DX exceeds my expectations with a great priced better then average item!


Handy screwdriver set

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.
