iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit

I build pcs a lot and tinker with things like repairing mice, laptops, anything really.The screwdriver and screw bits are worth it alone, some of the bits are really hard to come by, for example the star driver bits that are included in this kit.The plastic tools that come with the ifixit kits are not the best quality though... you can't expect too much for the price but they do break quite easily.Screw driver has a nice grip, very easy to use and the cover for the screw box is magnectic and very handy to store screws in as you're dismantling something.

I've had many tech repair kits before and this one is by far the best so far!All the tools included feels such good quality, they don't break after using them once (pry tools mainly) and they get the job done quicker than most others!The screwdriver feels great to use and the bits that go into it feel strong and capable. There's a bit for near enough every tech screw you can imagine, even one for a SIM card. In the cheap kits the bit tends to bend but these haven't budged.I like how it all comes in one case with a slot for each tool so everything stays together nicely. Overall I wouldn't pay for any cheap sets ever again it's nice to find a set that has had some thought put into it and not made cheaply.

I bought this just over a week ago, and so far I've already used it to open up and clean my nephew's laptop, and open up and repair an old Panasonic sound bar. There are tools inside for almost every conceivable use, and a few that I don't even know what they're for.There are driver heads for almost everything, and a few I don't recognise (perhaps they are for some proprietary screws used by some manufacturers? I don't know). These heads are all on the small side, so you won't - for example - get a larger-girth Phillips head bit, but chances are high that those are the kinds of driver heads you already have an ample supply of. They are magnetic, though, decently so. I was able to pull out some reasonably long screws from a laptop entirely with the magnet, and they didn't fall.Unfortunately, the driver bits have some kind of non-standard, narrow shank I've not seen before, so I can't use them with my main ratcheting screwdriver or any other socketed screwdrivers for that matter, so you're stuck with using the screwdriver that came with the kit.The screwdriver itself is... fine. It feels nice in the hand and is made from metal. The blue top freely rotates, so you can hold it steady with one hand and rotate the driver below with another, and the grip is well-textured. It's on the thin side, so if you've got a particularly tight screw you might fail to get much purchase, but I haven't had problems so far. It also comes with a flexible extension, allowing you to unscrew things at weird angles in hard-to-reach places.The driver set is contained in a very sturdy ABS case. The lid is firmly held on magnetically, and the whole case attaches to the fabric container via a magnetic plate. When the case is removed, you can slide this magnetic plate out of the fabric kit and use it to keep screws in place.Other tools include various prising tools and spudgers, several different sets of tweezers (which all feel impressive to use and very sturdy), an anti-static wristband, and a suction cup (which I haven't had cause to use yet, so I don't know how effective it is).Everything in the set feels very high quality. I don't see any of it wearing out any time soon. It's a fantastic kit and should have almost everything you'll ever need to perform electronics surgery on your gizmos. A little on the expensive side (including a small soldering iron as well might have sweetened the deal, and would make this kid 'complete'), but you get what you pay for, I suppose.

The media could not be loaded. This kit contains quite possibly everything you'll need to get started repairing your own tech devices such as phones, tablets, laptops, game consoles etc. The screwdriver bits and other included tools appear to be very high quality and will not break or crumble like cheaper alternatives do. The blue plastic spudgers are designed in a way where they will break if you use too much pressure trying to open a device, and they do this to stop you from breaking the actual device. There is an anti-static wrist strap included which is an absolute must-have, especially if your home or work environment has carpet flooring. Static sometimes builds up in your body and is silent but can be deadly to your electronics. The included user guide advises you on various ways to use the wrist strap. The suction cup tool is handy for lifting screens up on phones or tablets, if the screen is cracked, sticky tape should be applied over the cracked area to reduce the chance of the suction cup not doing its job properly. Amongst all this, there are various other tools included such as tweezers, pick tools and pry tools. These are all pretty self-explanatory. There's a plastic container which contains all the screwdriver bits (64 of them in total), the actual screwdriver tool and an extension tool for screws in hard-to-reach places. On the lid of the screwdriver bit container, there's a sorting grid for keeping small screws safe when you're working on an electronic, and inside the fabric outer case, there's a magnetic pad that holds the screwdriver bit container in place. I'm not sure whether this has any other intended use, but personally I use it for mapping out the screws when I'm working on a device to help me remember where the screws go when I reassemble it if I am not using a step-by-step guide.I am very pleased with my purchase and I find it a lot easier to work on my electronics than I ever could before. This toolkit paired up with the repair guides on the iFixit website are a match made in heaven for right-to-repair enthusiasts such as myself
