Ultimate MacBook Repair Tool Kit: Tri-Wing, Phillips & Pentalobe Screwdriver Set for MacBook Pro, Air & Retina - 5 & T5 T6 Pentalobe Screwdrivers Included Review

I bought this toolbox when I realized I needed to hack my son's Macbook Pro to clean it. Turning it over I saw it needed hex head screws and I didn't have that tool. I chose this set based on the reviews and the price. The actual tools are fine. The tips have a bit of burr so they're not perfectly clean, but it worked well enough as long as I was perpendicular to the screws. The only thing missing when opening the laptop is a "gasket" that helps remove some of the internal fasteners. I ended up

For the past few months I've noticed an overheating issue on my MacBook Pro (2016 A1706, 13" Touch Bar). I bought a can of compressed air but the vents are so oddly placed that that I knew I couldn't clean the fans. Got an offer from a local Apple dealer to have them looked at - too expensive. I used to open the back of my old Dell to clean it, so I knew that it wasn't worth the big bucks. So one day, with tiny screwdrivers in my hands, I turned the laptop over and saw the weirdest screw head…

Nice selection of tips but tips are SO SMALL almost impossible to see. It's hard to see even with a magnifying glass. They could have labeled them so you would know what's what (like Phillips, Trilobal, etc.) but they didn't. There are actually numbers on the sides, but no one has any idea which screwdriver you're looking at. Also note that those tiny case screws can be tight! It was not easy to remove them on MBP 2012 using these tools. The battery tends to bulge when old and this presses on…

This tool kit is almost perfect! I'll start with a little background. I am mostly tech savvy and occasionally repair my own electronics and items for friends and family. My MacBook Pro is stuck in a 'function' known as thermal throttling. When old thermal paste dries out, it also no longer conducts heat, so performance drops in favor of preservation. I'm not exactly sure if Apple actually offers this on-demand service or not, but I honestly wouldn't believe it does. So once I figured out what…
