🔧 iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit: The Ultimate Electronics, Smartphone, Computer & Tablet Repair Kit Review

The problem with the iFixit tool kit is that they use S2 steel, a type of steel that easily cracks, breaks, bends, etc. I didn't know about this until I knew. don't research. . All the parts bent, broke, cracked, etc. and I couldn't understand why until I learned about the hardness properties of steel. When it comes to bits and the torque you sometimes have to apply with those bits, you don't want a bit made out of S2 steel. They advertise they use S2 steel like it's awesome! It is not. So I…

I really like the IFixIt tools. This kit is pretty cool. I bought it about 6 months ago and I use it every day! I also use a smaller set with a smaller set of screwdrivers that I've had for over a year now. I only have 2 complaints. I swear in this set the metal that makes up the punches is softer than in the smaller/older set. I've never bent or broken my previous kit, but this one I opened the laptop case a few days after it arrived (a laptop I've opened multiple times!) This kit! I was…

Bit quality is annoying. After my first use of the Y00 bit, the tip was slightly bent. You can see it in the picture to the left of the top. After one use, come on. I bought this kit because it had the T3 bit I needed. Eventually the bit twisted after use and I still couldn't get the screw out the way I wanted. As another reviewer mentioned their bits are not hardened and this is proof that they are not. I really like the way this set is presented. But it's sad that the quality of these beats…

I love the number of items in this set and they are all useful but the Philips 000 and 00 bits really should be a few mils longer. The photo shows that Y000 is long and P000 is oddly short. Also, the #2 short triangle doesn't get you to McDonald's kids toys. I had trouble removing two P000 M1.4 x 3.2mm screws from an old HP ElitePad. Very sad to report that the P000, which I thought was a crappy set from Harbor Freight, actually removed the screws where the iFixit screwdriver and bits didn't…

I've been using the old iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit for many years and it has never let me down. I recently upgraded to the new 2016 Pro Tech during the Black Friday sale and had some time to use it. The new iFixit 64-bit Driver Kit is by far the star of this toolbox, but I was very impressed with all of the components. See my video report for details on some changes and updates. An update I've discovered since my video review: the drill uses 6150 steel (manufacturer's website), so it contains 0.5%
