LINDY Computer Technician Precision Screwdriver Set

Nice little set for the price. There are some truly horrible, bordering on totally useless, sets out there in this price range, but these are not terrible at all.Ive already used them quite extensively, having built my new PC from ground up and tinkered with my RC helicopters and planes using them.....They have been perfectly adequate. Its worth remembering though that they are NOT top of the line tools (they are accurate in size and have good tips on them however..but not magnetic)....so care must be taken not to slip them in screws that are too large, as its pretty clear from my limited usage, that you can strip the tips to the point they cant grip the screws..(ie They are somewhat softer than what you would expect in a top of the range set)Saying that though, if you DO take care, they wont just wear down through use, like some other cheapo ones out there...but neither will they last a life time like a REALLY good set.I dont use these very small sizes very often, and have a much higher quality set for the next sizes up (so I can see and feel the difference in hardness and durability of the tips), and I would advise if you are going to be using this size tool daily, then you should spend a bit more money (as I probs will eventually!)But if you only need them for light tinkering or PC building etc,that you might only do once every few years, and find other uses every 'blue moon,...these are just great and I do recommend them to all but serious electronics pros...though serious pros will not give these a second glance anyway : DI wont hesitate to give them 5 stars though, because the price is just about perfect for what they are.

I bought this kit to dismantle some old console parts in an attempt to find out why they weren't working and see if they could be revived. Tools worked well, fit the holes and were clearly marked with their sizes, but sadly the console was not able to be revived. I wouldn't take the risk of opening up a non-broken console, but if yours is dead and you just want to have a look inside, these tools will help you get it open(spoiler: it'll be full of dust).Probably a useful kit for professional console repairers if there are people who do that, tools seems sturdy enough(although they are tiny!), and would hopefully last a while. Good selection of sizes included, bit of a one-job tool for home users(unless you're frequently opening up your electronic goods, I suppose) as they don't fit normal screws, but they were inexpensive and worked well. Might be good for getting into laptop parts also, but I haven't tried those.Screws were undamaged after using the tool, which is good as others I've used in the past have a tendency to be a bad fit and damage the screw so you might get it out once but won't get it back in or be able to remove it again.Price was great. It's a bit annoying having to buy something else to be able to buy them, but I understand why it's done that way and if you're not in a rush, you can just add them to your next Amazon order.

I have taken receipt of various Torx sets over the years but these are far and away the best set I have had.They come in a very handy hard plastic case that opens allowing easy access to all screwdrivers. The screwdrivers themselves are well made and after several uses I have not noticed any wear to the Torx heads; something that is common on most sets of this price range. However, most important is that these indicated sizes are accurate! I have numerous Torx bits that are either just too big or just too small.However these can be a bit difficult to use if the screw you are attempting to use is in tight. These units are fairly small (measuring about 11 cm long by at the most 1 cm in width) and that makes it awkward to grip firmly enough for those annoyingly overtightened screws. Fortunately they are strong enough to allow the use of a helpful pair of pliers, gripping the screwdriver around its waist.I would certainly recommend these screwdrivers to all of those people wanting some cheap yet reliable Torx units.

Brought this tool set to upgrade the RAM and Hard drive of my MBP (model in title) and the tool is fine for doing this job. Note: for upgrading the Hard drive a Torx T6 is also required (not included in this set), LINDY's torx screwdriver set works for that too.I'd assumed it was made of poor metal and would probably not last very long. I was surprised to find this was not the case, I believe the 'screwbit' is made of steel, not stainless as there is a black coating (protect it from rusting I guess) around the metal screwtip which will come off after a little use. The handle part is plastic, but comfortable to use.Pros:+ Very cheap, yet a decent tool. Only £2.99 when I purchased it.+ Works with the MBP if that is what you're after.+ Fine for upgrading notebooks, etc.Cons:- Black coating will come off with use and expose the steel, which may rust in the presence of water or air moisture.- Knit-picking now, but probably not for professional use as the product description states.4 Stars - does the job and is cost effective. Only loses one star because it's not stainless.
