Review on Ultimate MacBook Repair Tool Kit: Tri-Wing, Phillips & Pentalobe Screwdriver Set for MacBook Pro, Air & Retina - 5 & T5 T6 Pentalobe Screwdrivers Included by Richard Payne

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly what I needed

For the past few months I've noticed an overheating issue on my MacBook Pro (2016 A1706, 13" Touch Bar). I bought a can of compressed air but the vents are like that oddly placed that I knew I couldn't clean the fans I got an offer from a local Apple dealer to have them looked at - too expensive I used to open the back of my old Dell to clean it, so I knew it wasn't worth the big bucks. One day I was turning the laptop over with tiny screwdrivers in my hands and I saw the weirdest screw head I've ever seen. What the heck is going on with those screws? I googled and realized I needed a whole new screwdriver. Well played Apple, well played. As usual, Revain came to the rescue, and although the description of this item n ot the clearest, he was very cheap, so I figured out what the heck. The screwdrivers arrived today and I was more excited than I should have been to clean my laptop because the set is just too cute! Tiny screwdrivers along with a small brush, cloth, tweezers, and two plastic things I don't know the names of. Everything is very well packed and sealed in a small zipper. A 1.2 x 25mm pentalobe screwdriver is what I need for my device, but there are also two larger pentalobe screwdrivers and two Phillips screwdrivers. Went like clockwork! Easy to use, the handle is very well positioned so you can easily turn it with your fingers and the screws go in and out very easily. I didn't notice the magnetic properties of the screwdriver so I was VERY careful not to drop one of the screws because they are so small. All in all a very good buy!
