Pros: - Plenty of different types and sizes of bits- Screw driver has a good grip- Tweezers can be useful for grabbing those nasty little screws that get lost in cases- Screw driver is also fairly magnetic to hold the bits in place and holding on to screws
Cons: - Cheap case- Screw bits not compatible with other screw drivers- Metal isn't extremely sturdy (a few of the smaller flathead bits have bent after a few uses)
Other Thoughts: The screw driver is on the small side, might be uncomfortable if you have large hands. Did not have the bits to take apart my iPod's HDD, but other than that it's had the bits to everything else I throw at it.
Bottomline: Great little screw set for taking apart electronics (especially small ones such as cell phones) and very affordable.
Pros: Great little set of screw driver heads. Worked brilliantly for taking apart my laptop, PC and phone. Magnetic heads are handy too. Good variety in bits too. Ive not found a screw I cant take out with this set. The tweezers came in useful too. Didnt know it was included but helped in getting out a few difficult screws that the magnet couldnt hold on to.Good grip on the Screwdriver itself, its small, but that doesnt impeed its uses.
Cons: None much really. One of the bits had a spot of rust on it, but its only astetic. Tweezers kind of bent a bit under a bif of pressure, easilly bent back though.Hopefully the casing will last the test of time, it looks a bit easy to break if it got a knock.
Other Thoughts: Ive not tried any other sets, but when looking this one seemed to be a good choice, and im happy with it. It has yet to fail me.
Bottomline: Id recommend it, its a winner in my books!
Pros: A superb collection of bits for all kinds of electronic devices. Bits seem to be fairly well secured in the case, the handle gives a good grip for tight screws, yet is easy to handle for lighter work. The bits are magnetic, which is a great help. Many hard-to-find bits in here, nice for those "what the heck kind of head is that?"-moments.
Cons: Non-standard bit-size, which means you need to keep track of the handle. Slightly flimsy case. Not great quality steel, but on the other hand these bits aren't going to see much heavy duty work. The heads are a bit short for some occacions.
Other Thoughts: It would be great to see this set be developed further, which most likely is not going to happen. Higher quality steel, longer bit heads and a slightly tougher case would easily double or triple it's value.
Bottomline: This set is great for any electronics DIY-ers. A must-have for cellphone-modders or anyone who loves to open stuff ;) Good collection of bits at a good price, although quality could be improved. Still, it's worth every penny.
Pros: There are many unusual heads that I have never seen but I'm sure I'll use them at some point. It is magnetic and will hold a screw on its own.
Cons: The heads do not stay in their place in the case. They slide around like crazy. The actual tip of each bit is less than a quarter inch long which is troublesome if the screw you are removing is deep. For example it is impossible to use this item to remove a cover on a PSP because there is one deep screw.
Other Thoughts: I was able to open up my cell phone and change the case. I was also able to open up a Mc Donalds toy with the triangle bit to change the battery for my son.
Bottomline: This tool set appears to be the perfect for cell phone modders, however it may be hit or miss for small projects.
