I love using this tool set

I needed to replace the disk reader in my Wii - unfortunately there are several tri-wing screws in the Wii so I bought a less expensive set of "security bits". The only problem with the less expensive set is that they were 1/4" bits and wouldn't reach into some of the holes in the Wii case. I wish I would have bought this set to start with - here's why: 1) The bits are smaller and have long, narrow shafts to reach into screws at hard to reach places 2) The top of the case has little dividers so that you can put your screws and other parts into separate sections so if you put them into the compartments in the order that you remove them then reassembly becomes much easier because you don't have to try and find which screw goes where - they are all laid out in order for you. 3) The high-density foam that holds the bits in place makes the bits visible, easy to remove and replace. 4) The driver has a good feel to it. 5) The bits are high quality, precision bits. 6) There is a good variety of bits that should handle most electronic repair needs This is the same set that comes with the iFixIt Pro Tech tool kit but at half the price (but it doesn't include the spudgers, anti-static wrist strap, tweezers, and some other tools that you may already have). It is a pleasure to work with this tool set. If you are working on electronic devices I suggest getting this set instead of one of the less expensive 1/4" bit sets because sooner or later (in my case MUCH sooner) you will find the 1/4" bits are just too fat for what you need. The organizer tray cover alone makes it worth getting this set. You can tell that the people who designed this set actually repair things and made a set that makes it so that you can focus on fixing things and not have to worry about your tools.

Precisely crafted bits with TONS of longevity

You wouldn't think it matters... one screwdriver bit is as good as the next, right? NOT EVEN REMOTELY THE CASE!!! This is my second iFixIt screwdriver set in three years. The first one was beaten to hell and people walked away with a lot of my bits... and two months ago I purchased a very highly rated; no name brand bit kit that was almost exactly like the last iFixit kit that I had, but as usual, they were sub-par. I don't know where iFixit gets their bits made, or if its just a simple matter of them having extremely high standards of their manufacturer, but these bits are ... PRECISE ... for lack of a better word ... and I can't quite explain how amazing it is using bits like this compared to cheaper brands other than to say that the difference is absolutely noticeable... you wont strip a head on a screw EVER with these bits as long as you're using the right one for the job. And they have longevity ... after three years of hard daily use on my last set, they still worked as good as they did on the first day. Do you pay ten bucks more for this set over the generic crap? ABSOLUTELY! Is it worth three times that price? YOU BET!!! Paying the extra ten bucks should not even be a consideration if you're looking to buy something like this ... it's just a no-brainer ... don't even hesitate, just get them. I promise you that you will not be disappointed ... not even a little.

Best screwdriver kit for small electronics, period.

I couldn't be more pleased with this kit. I'll address each part: Case - The magnets combined with the interlocking ridge along the edge hold the lid firmly in place without making it difficult to remove. The grid molded into the underside of the lid makes it an excellent tray for small screws. - If you need to step away from your project and want to keep the screws from getting accidentally scattered, the lid can be attached to the rear of the main case. - The high-quality foam liner holds the tools tightly without making them difficult to remove and replace. Handle - Retains bits securely without making them difficult to change. - Very nicely machined, with no rough edges and knurling that's easy to grip without being overly aggressive. - The top swivel isn't just a crimped-on piece of pot metal or cheap plastic. It is a machined, bead blasted and anodized piece of aluminum riding on a BEARING. Flex Shaft - Sturdy, with free-spinning collars on each end. - The input and output sockets are machined to the same high standards as the handle. - The bit holder on the shaft uses a spring clip to retain the bits, rather than a magnet. It seems like a downgrade at first, but then you realize it hold the bit much tighter than the magnet in the handle, reducing the chance of it getting left behind in a place you can't get your fingers into. Bits - Machined (not sintered) from proper tool steel, then coated to prevent corrosion. - Torx range starts at T2 where most start at T3. - JIS bits are the miracle you didn't know you needed. All those tiny Phillips screws that you've been stripping out? Those are JIS. You're welcome. On top of all this, iFixit provides a lifetime warranty. You just can't beat it.

What the 54 bit kit should've been! And new findings with a particular bit!

Being as though this item isn't in stock with Amazon at the time of this review I ended up buying mine directly from iFixit. I already love their 54 bit kit, but wasn't too fond of the aluminum driver with rubber o-rings, big hands make things a bit tedious to work with a slippery driver. This new 64 bit kit knocks the older one out of the park with the updated driver, the casing, bit placement, and added selection of bits. While noticing some slight changes in a particular bit, read more for details. For starters I love the new packaging, it gave me the experience that I was opening a brand new cell phone, this is a box I will definitely be keeping to the side. Also, their brand new aluminum driver, which has knurling near the tip for better traction when having to tighten up and loosen those stubborn yet delicate screws. I love the three sided profiling of the driver near the mid section which also operates as an anti-roll feature, it also allows you to get a real purchase on the driver. It reminds me of that Home Depot Husky 8-in-1 screwdriver with the red rotating end cap and gray body model #74501, **sigh** it's such a shame they discontinued that model. Ok, back to this review; and to top it off the rotating end cap of the new iFixit driver is on a ball bearing, allowing even more control when tightening screws! Now the next thing they did with this case had the nerd in me geek out, because they thought of everything when designing this case, its no longer that flimsy plastic dollar store material the 54 bit kit shipped in (sorry iFixit but I'm being honest, and know you guys had to keep cost down. But hardcore geeks want a good looking product too!). For starters they now use magnets to attach the lid to the base of the case. I then thought hmm, magnets, wouldn't the lid come off if inadvertently nudged? Nope! they added a small lip on the inside of the case to prevent that from happening! So being intrigued that they paid that much attention to detail I was like ok iFixit you guys have my attention. Especially with something so minuscule as the added lip to prevent the lid from slipping off; if magnets lost contact. So, when you open the case up there is a grid like pattern on the inside of the lid which can also be used as a screw/parts tray, and if that's not your thing you can then attach the lid to the bottom of the case with, guess what! more magnets! so now everything serves a purpose! I also love the way the bits are now presented, its akin to how their Macro Bit kit is setup. No more rubber inserts with five other bits attached to the one you're only looking for. Now you have the bit type and its size embossed into EVA foam for a much neater and professional look. I also believe taking this route allowed the 64 bit kit and overall 2016 pro tech tool kit to be a lot shorter than its predecessor, by using EVA foam they essentially have a blank canvas to work with, assign bits to their allocated spots and not have to deal with the restraints and unnecessary material brought on by using the rubber inserts that the 54 bit kit utilized. And lastly the quality of the bits are what you'd expect from iFixit they are made from 6150 tool steel, the security bits have perfectly centered holes, the bits have an outstanding finish and hold up to the task! Also backed by their lifetime warranty makes it a no brainer to add to your set of tools. Buy it once buy it for life! Ok, I'm pretty much a stickler when it comes to my tools and their quality, if something is as not it should be I will not hesitate to pick up the phone and express my concerns. Now that I've had this 64 bit kit for some time now, and have used it and have been able to make comparisons to other products that I own, here are my findings. The pentalobe bits in this 64 bit kit are actually spot on as they should be! I compared the pentalobe bits in this 64 bit kit to several of my Wiha products and other iFixit products that I own, such as their 54 bit kit, and their Pro-Tech Screwdriver kit. I can honestly say the pentalobe bits in the 64 bit kit are how they should be. When comparing this 64 bit kit to my Wiha products they were pretty much on par with the machining, as far as the pentalobe bit having round edges and a nice fit, as those of you who pay attention to detail like myself should know the pentalobe bit has rounded edges, not pointed like a torx. I compare them to lilly pads. So after noticing they finally fixed this matter with the bits I then compared the 64 bit kit to my 54 bit kit and noticed the pentalobe bits were different. The 54 bit kit pentalobe bits had more of a sharper edge, something similar to a torx bit, minus one tooth of course. So I then said ok, lets take a look at the Pro-Tech Screwdriver set, and those were as they should be, the pentalobe bits were rounded and not pointed. If you look in my uploaded images you can see the three pentalobe bits and how rounded the edges are. ***MORE INSIGHT TO 6150 TOOL STEEL*** After taking some time to find what 6150 tool steel is all about, I managed to come across this site (...) and here's an excerpt from the page: "The 6150 grade has chromium and vanadium added to import greater impact hardness. This grade has low distortion properties and is easily heat treated and will harden to C-55 ' C-58 Rockwell range." I then thought well a HRC (Rockwell Hardness of steel measured on the C scale) of 55-58 cant be that bad as S30V steel has about the same rockwell range, and is considered to be a premium steel for knives (...) offered by brands like Benchmade, Spyderco, ZT, and even Kershaw to name a few. So after finding this out, it really got my gears going, and I came across Wihas website (...) where they state their bits are at a HRC of 59-61. Now this is not to bash iFixit, but to line them up in comparison with a well known trusted and reputable brand. So if you cant afford the higher end Wiha tools, or cant justify their prices then I'd highly suggest the iFixit line of tools as from my perspective they're the next best thing in line. Way to go iFixit! This one is a winner!

Excellent for retro game enthusiasts

I like to open up my own stuff for repairs and cleanings, and I honestly didn't really take good inventory of what I needed and already had, but I saw that this set had the necessary bits to open my old NES cartridges, and figured that'd be enough by itself. I took it over to my retro game shelf and was able to find bits to open two different styles of genesis carts, all of my NES carts, SNES carts, and n64 carts. The screwdriver itself feels nice and all of the bits are slightly magnetic, which makes it easier to pull the screws out of deeper recesses. iFixit demands a premium price for their products, but I feel like I got my money's worth and will be looking to their other kits and supplies when and where I find myself empty handed for a repair project.

Awesome driver kit. Well-built and very complete

This kit has almost every bit you could need for anything from a power brick to a phone to a laptop to small appliances (I’m talking to you, Black and Decker, with your security screws) The packaging is very nice, and case is held in place—closed and open—with four neodymium magnets in the corners. All of the bits have their own spot carved out of the high-density foam that lines the case, and they are placed in a logical order. The driver has nice knurling along the spindle in just the right spot to aid your grip for those screws installed a bit too enthusiastically. I have 50+ laptops to disassemble this week; this kit will be a boon. I cut the back off of the cardboard packaging sleeve that covers the case when it arrived. It listed all of the bits in the set. I cut the cardboard down to size and pressed it into the lid for reference. If you place the lid near where you are wreaking havoc on your electronics, it makes a great place to put the tiny little screws the driver will be removing.

A near-perfect kit, far better than any of the alternatives!

This kit quite literally has everything I've ever wanted in precision screwdrivers. I own 30+ precision screwdrivers of a variety of types, and up until now they all had one thing in common: they're terrible. Most are cheaply made and have tips that bend or wear rapidly with use, are uncomfortable, have small handles (often made of cheap plastic) and the top pressure rest either binds with the rest of the handle or is immensely uncomfortable or both. When I first came across the iFixit interchangeable bit precision screwdriver (from another iFixit kit) I realized right away that this was hands down the best precision driver I'd ever used. The handle is comfortable, all rotating parts are smooth, the weight is good in your hand, the grip solid without being uncomfortable, and the slender magnetic bit holder minimizes the working radius at the tip (allowing it to still get into tight places!). The bits are well built and will last, precision made out of quality steel (not the cheap stuff I've gotten from bit kits in the past). The variety of bits in this case is fantastic - everything you need for any project (and more!). I primarily bought it for the pentalobe and the torx bits, but its collection is big enough that I shouldn't need to buy any additional bits for that one random time when you encounter the strange headed screw. The rest of this kit is a pleasure to use. The case is solid, and clips shut using magnets at the corners (a pleasant surprise). And it's really convenient that it becomes a parts tray to keep the screws wrangled. The bits are presented in a foam insert with engraved symbols and lettering to help you remember which bit goes where (and what you might be missing...), in addition to being engraved on the bits themselves. The included flexible extension is fantastic, and has the same smoothness of rotation as the handle with two spinning grips (one at the top, one at the bottom) to extend the overall kit capability. The angled presentation of the bits is surprisingly nice, being both visually appealing and useful in the sense that it's easier to find the bit you're looking for. I've even found that while working on a project I can replace a bit I'm still using into the case and simply angle it the other way so that it doesn't get lost and I can grab it out again quickly. I don't know if it was designed with that in mind, but it's convenient. There are a couple of basic 'normal size' bits included that work with this handle so that you're not left in the cold for other small screwing projects with less precise screws if this is the only thing on hand, but larger screwdrivers are probably better for that (though these bits can likely go places full-size bits in a normal interchangeable screwdriver can't). The included adaptor for normal size bits to these size bits (that allow these bits to be used in a larger interchangeable screwdriver) will work, but isn't great because it lacks an internal magnet. All things considered, I would seriously recommend this kit to anyone in need of a solid set of precision screwdrivers. Don't settle for the plastic crap; I regret every single precision driver I've bought before discovering this kit.

Perfect for Nintendo Switch

Bought this kit specifically for replacing the backplate on my Nintendo Switch, and it worked fabulously. There is some misinformation out there as to what size screwdrivers you need, and this kit has the correct Y000 triwing bit. Also, if you're anything like me and bought a cheaper kit that did not have the correct bit size and stripped out your screws partially, this kit also has the Y00 triwing bit which I could use to still take out and put back in those stripped screws. The kit also has the correct sized Phillips head bit you will need. The build quality is great, the foam handle on the screwdriver is awesome for carefully gripping those tiny screws, and the underside of the case lid has a little checkerboard design that you can use to keep the different screws that you take out separated from each other to eliminate user error when reassembling. So in short, save your time, money, and sanity and get this kit if you are working on your Switch.

The best value and quality kit for your money.

As the "tech support" family, our relatives come to us asking for repairs of various electronic devices. As simple as desktop PCs, and as complex as MacBooks or iPads. This one product has been the single best investment I have ever made in my tech repair career. You can teardown anything that is thrown at you, with the large variety of high-quality bits that are very resilient.The various sizes of standards like Philips, Flathead, and Torx help ensure that you will be suited for any situation. But the advantage of this kit is in the obscure bits. You can count on those Tri-Wing/Y bits to get you into Nintendo consoles and controllers without stripping the screw or the bit breaking. The Gamebit security screws helped turn a broken Virtual Boy into a fully-functioning unit. There are even Triangle bits which can help you fix kids toys. The tips are all magnetic, too, which is a plus in not losing screws to the abyss and having to shake them out of your device. The magnetic cover and sorting tray is an absolute GAMECHANGER. For years it was a hassle to keep screws organized and not misplace them during my repairs; especially so in taking breaks from a teardown. Now, I can sort them easily within the tray and visually remember the order they came from. If I am interrupted, I can simply place the bit set over the cover and not worry about screws becoming misplaced or out of order from a bump on the table. If you have a "tech support" family in your life and they don't have one of these yet, do them a favor. They make your life easier by setting up your printer, fixing your internet, removing viruses, replacing dead hard drives, fixing broken power ports, and so much more... now it's time to make their lives easier.

The all-in-one precision screwdriver set for electronics!

I bought this toolset specifically for my Nintendo Switch. After buying a generic Y00/PH00 set and it arriving not to spec and missing bits I decided to shell out the extra money to get this set and boy do I feel dumb for not purchasing this set first! The driver feels great in the hand and seems of high quality. The bits seem high quality, have magnetized tips, and there are more than enough for your everyday electronic repair needs. The Y00 and PH00 bits worked exquisitely well on my switch and joy cons, no stripped screws, and honestly made working on them quite enjoyable! Everything comes packaged in a sturdy, magnetized plastic container. The only issue I have is with the extender, it is not magnetized therefore the bits fall out rendering the extender essentially useless. Overall I am very pleased. If you are in need of the tools to fix your switch/joy cons or just are in need of precision screwdriver tools in general and aren’t sure which set to get I advice to skip the cheap products and spend the extra money on this wonderful set.
