Nintendo Gamebit almost impossible to use

Comes in a nice box with a magnetic lid to prevent a strap from breaking. The little bit holder is great in the sense that it should withstand years of use without loosening or losing its ability to hold bits securely. The problem is that the first set of bits I tried was so poorly constructed. that they are practically useless. The "Gamebit" bits for opening the old Nintendo and Sega security screws seemed like a good idea. The problem with a lot of them is that the bit wall is too thick to fit the screw shank, but they have a nice thin, even wall. However, when I actually tried using one of them, a major downside became apparent. These game bits are designed so that the teeth are tapered so that the hole in the bit is shaped like a screw head. The problem is that the heads of these screws are rounded. The tapered teeth barely touch the bottom screw head, which makes the bit's teeth slip off easily. I don't mean that they slip a little, or if you're not careful, I mean that they barely bite. You have to hold the racquet at the perfect angle and push with unacceptable force for the racquet to bite. Every other bit I have for these screws has teeth that are the same throughout the depth of the bit and none of them have this problem. It looks like nobody actually tested this design before making this beat, either that or there was no quality control. I didn't check all the other bits because for my use these game bits were the main reason I got this set. I would have thought it would be difficult to mess up most of the others, but if you had asked me before trying them I would have thought it would be difficult to mess up the game pieces. In any case, I can't recommend this set because the Nintendo/Sega bits are complete junk.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
