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.

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.

This is my 2nd set. I bought these and a Torx set a few years back on Amazon and gave the set to my son a few months back because someone bought me a nice set of precision drivers. But I actually missed having them so much, and they are so cheap, I re-bought them, they are that good. Professional hard case rather than those floppy vinyl things you get so-called 'precision' drivers in. I use them for professional as well as hobby work and just love them.

The media could not be loaded.  In this video review, you'll see the size, design, and durability features of this product (  LINDY Computer Technician Precision Screwdriver Set  ).It has been used a few times and held up very well with no tip distortion.The product came well-packaged, it also included a nice plastic case where each screwdriver stays put until you need it.For an affordable price, you can't go wrong. This included Philips #00, #0, #1, and flathead 1.4, 1.8 and 2.4mm screwdrivers with 20mm-long bits.I recommend this product based on its quality and price.This set allows you to open the Macbook Pro easily. If you're opening it for a RAM upgrade, this is all you'll need. If you'll be upgrading your HDD/SSD, you'll need this product to actually access the inside of the computer, and then this set here:  LINDY Computer Technician Precision Torx Set  to change the HDD/SSD, which use Torx screws that are not included in this kit.

Although these are well presented and do a better job than the normal "watch" type screwdrivers that most people use for small screws, these screwdrivers are missing a few things. Firstly - the white paint on the handle that specifies the size is too easily rubbed off with any kind of strong use. I tried to fix my motherboard in my new PC case as my first task, and the writing rubbed off the red one (the largest).Also - these screwdrivers are coloured which is useful when you know which is which, but sadly the case doesn't have any colour markings on it. Having these would make it much easier to place the screwdrivers back in the right places easily enough. For example, if you remove all the tools from their case, you sometimes have to think which goes where - whilst having a small coloured plastic dot on the case would allow for instant recognition of the correct place.The good points are that they are made of a tough metal so there should be little risk of shredding them. Also they are shaped in a somewhat ergonomic manner, meaning that they are comfortable to hold for some time. I purchased these along with the other Lindy box of star shaped ones, so that I have all screw types covered now.Essential for any amateur computer hardware engineer, but for long term use, I would still invest in a good quality screwdriver with swappable heads.
