  • Certified

Works with power and hand tools

I wish I had the magnetic one. The replacement is fine and she has infrequent and occasional seizures. Works with my Mac to take it apart which is great.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • No paint required

I like the design of the tools BUT

This tool set has an error. The brass clamp that holds the bits bends slightly. If you're a cautious person, you should be fine. Just don't twist the driver

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • I have doubts

It's a great set, although the slotted head/driver is a bit fiddly.

I had to buy another kit just to replace the driver (part lost). This is a good set although the slotted head/driver is a little fiddly to align properly. I would give more stars but the competition is very tough.

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • Repair

The first was great and was the main instrument until it...

This is the second set I have bought. The first was great and was the main tool until a colleague stole it. The second set was a total disappointment. The tool head holder is manufactured with a deviation of 20 degrees from authenticity. This results in quite a wobbly and frustrating twist and makes it difficult to use with one hand. It's a great tool when done right, but quality doesn't seem to be a priority for GT&I.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Not happy with everything

A little thin.

Not being a geek, I know how to use a Mac. I bought it along with a 750GB hard drive and 8GB RAM to upgrade my friend's laptop and while they got the job done I really don't think they're that great. They feel a little flimsy and mine didn't really feel strong when I used them. However, they are affordable and offer a good selection of tools for working on a computer. Not recommended, but they will work if you try to be careful with them.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Security

Made Exactly How I Wanted But Nothing Special

I needed to add a second SSD to my ultrabook and found online guides that included this product in the tool list. With this set I was able to successfully complete a drive upgrade (using 3 of the 18 bits). The main downside is that the screwed portion of the screwdriver handle doesn't hold the bits in place very well. In many cases, the bit fell out of the handle even when the part was tightly screwed on. There are probably better sets on the market but this one worked for me at a reasonable…

Pros
  • A Dream Come True
Cons
  • Mystery

Nobody should be without this set.

This product does not fit this screwdriver. When I received the toolkit I was very impressed with its completeness. Anyone who works with electronics or model making will not want to do without this set in their tool box. And if you're ordering this item, do yourself a favor and order the General Tools 500 Cordless Ultra Tech Power Precision Screwdriver for even more fun. I have bought many precision screwdriver sets and it replaces all my other sets. Plus, the tote bag was just the icing on…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Fair

Useful, compact, portable

This is a good set for those who need very small tools for light jobs. I use it primarily to maintain my knife collection, but it also works well with watches, cell phones, and other items with odd-shaped little screws. Another benefit is that the bits are thin and long, allowing you to reach screws that other tools can't. I also have a set of small heads but they are all standard types for a multi tool (big base for a bigger driver). This starts where the other cannot. The only problem is a…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No machine
