Review on πŸ”§ Moody Tools 6-Piece Reversible Driver Set: Slot, Philips, and Screw Extractor Combo - Model 58-0670 by Robert Layne

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works, kinda incredulous

I can't believe it works. I thought I had damaged my screws to the point of helplessness, and I also thought my situation was unique, but I'm sure most of the reviewers here felt the same about themselves. You see, before I finally gave up using traditional screwdrivers for good, I decided to superglue the screwdrivers to the screw head, hoping that the extra attachment would somehow provide enough extra torque. Yes, stupid, and it got worse. I gave up and bought this moody set. Surprised to learn that each driver is a 2-in-1 despite both ends being the same size. Basically an extra head for each one in case you damage them. But that's something you don't need to worry about as they are very high quality and don't grind with as much pressure as the cheaper alternatives I own. I didn't understand how such extractors work. They have teeth that I thought would go around the head of the bolt, but instead they go into the damaged area of the head. I ended up trying very hard to remove the screws, including scraping off the glue with a knife, and luckily I got my way. So even if you think they don't work, they still have some grip, keep trying and putting in more effort and hopefully they'll make it eventually. In other words, the results can be very high, but there is a high probability that they will work. For those interested, I used mine on my Lenovo G580 laptop to upgrade to an SSD and it was well worth it. In any case, good luck!

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
