Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks like a very good over complete set of mini screwdrivers

I need a good fairly complete set of miniature screwdrivers, especially a full set of smaller Phillips sizes (0 to 0000) because they are moderately common and especially when Not forgiving of using the wrong size screwdriver, I got tired of removing the tiny screw heads on some of my best toys (watches, glasses, keychains, miniature electronics, etc.). I really meant something much smaller and lighter than this set, more like the half dozen or so small driver sets I already had, something that could easily and almost unnoticeably slip into my pocket. And there are many more such kits, but none had such a complete set of drivers as I actually wanted, all of them were missing at least one of the small Phillips heads. Then this Flora Guard kit was available, with 4 times more bits than any other I've seen, including two bits of a certain size. Actually, I'm not sure what the specific motivation and rationale was for doubling some of them, like most of the smaller Phillips, which I wanted the most anyway; Maybe it's because they're also quite prone to tip breakage. Also, this kit comes with several disassembly and disassembly tools that I'm still not sure I really want, let alone keeping them all together and carrying them around. I mean, for example, we have a lot of Apple hardware, but I'm not really used to opening them up and poking around. So, again, I didn't really need such a big and heavy kit. and not very portable. I'll have a little regret about that aspect of this set every time I use it. But I am very happy that I have a kit that will probably give me all the little drivers I will need for the rest of my life. To be honest I don't even know what some bit types are here for. So let's get started! I haven't used this set enough to have any idea how durable and accurate these bits are. Under a strong magnifying glass they look pretty well done. As reviewer Tyler Forge points out (what an apt name!), the smaller Torx security bits in particular don't seem to be precisely formed enough to fit over/around the center security pin in the fasteners. Time will tell more. I will try to update this review with important additional information. on the quality of the instrument. The screwdriver handle and overall body are built lightly - as expected at a surprisingly low price, almost the same as in only 1/4 piece sets - but work surprisingly, impressively well. I'm dying to have this particular kit devoid of a few foreign objects and miraculously squashed (against all the laws of physics) to half the size and weight. Pending this miracle and more empirical evidence of the quality of these tips, I'm happy to receive this kit as is and give it a 5 star rating. (Although I reserve the right to be very angry if I ever make the mistake of opening this set incorrectly and accidentally throwing out over 100 tiny pieces.)

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Band
