Review on ๐Ÿ”ง 16-Piece Precision Screwdriver Tool Kit for Repairing Samsung, iPhone, iPad, Computers, Laptops, and Other Devices by Aaron Franklin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Some of them are pretty strong and some are terrible

Unfortunately this tool set is a mixed bag, some are pretty strong and some are terrible. :โ€ข Drivers and picks feel solid for the most part. The ones I used to replace the battery on my Kindle Fire HD7 worked fine (see photo of screwdrivers, pickaxe, and blade). The only exception is the "Blade" tool, which looks almost like a spatula: Its screw-on aid cannot be tightened enough to prevent the blade from slipping in the holder, which severely limits its usability overall. โ€ข Spudgers (plastic tools) are useless. the little spatula, the one I needed the most smashed in my hands within the first 2 minutes of use when I tried to open the case on my Kindle. Then, when I switched to a large spatula, the tip slowly chipped to an uncomfortable dullness as I used it (see my photos, including close-ups of cracked and chipped spatulas). I ended up using guitar tools to remove the base of my Kindle. โ€ข The knife blade is useless because the one-screw fastener cannot be tightened enough to hold the blade in place. โ€ข 2 very poor quality tweezers. quality and can only be used to grab "thick" objects as the tweezer tips will curve outward if you press anywhere hard, BUT right at the top. For example, I tried to peel off a few pieces of tape with tweezers, I was holding the Kindle battery and battery cable, but I couldn't grab it due to the outward curve of the tweezer tips! Conclusion: I should have paid a little more for better tools. Don't repeat my mistake!
