Review on πŸ”§ Maxtech 16521MX 32-Piece Precision Bit Set by Brian Sage

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly what I needed!

The main reason I bought this unit was because I often repair iPhones and iPods for friends and every time I buy a replacement display the tiniest screwdrivers come with me. As long as they work, they're just too small to own. They tend to injure your hand more than anything else. With this set you not only get a great hold, but also a comfortable one. The rotating rear tip is useful when the screwdriver is in your hand. If I were to complain about this set it would only be a couple of things. However, it doesn't deserve to lose a star as these issues are inherent in any multi-driver kit you buy. Even though the bits have a smaller maximum size, they are still too big for devices with tiny screws in deep holes. Luckily that doesn't apply to iPhones (in my case), but I see that as a problem in the future. While you can just insert the bit right into the handle and tighten, you will most likely force the bit into the handle because the clamping screw just can't hold it well. This forces you to use an extension, which is good as it can be fully inserted to save on a shorter driver. The problem I have is that it's just one more step before you can use it. But again, it's okay.3. The tray that holds everything in this case is very thin and I don't think it will last long. If it breaks, you still have a hard plastic case, but it only rattles on the inside. This is not a problem for those planning to transport the parts in a large tool box/bag. All in all this set proved very handy with the Philips 000 screwdriver I needed and now it's nice to have the smaller torx, allen and flat head screwdrivers too. If you're looking for ultra-high quality, this set might not be for you, but for less than $15, it couldn't be better. This is still a very good set for those who repair computers, small electronics and maybe even watches or glasses.

Pros
  • Telescopic drive shaft adjustable to desired length
