Review on Bottom Rubber Outer MacBook Screwdriver by Michael Lucas

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Served my purpose on computer screws

I bought this knowing full well that it is not OEM. They're hard plastic and unlike the original, they're not flexible at all, so they don't exactly fit the circle. Ideally, you should be able to move your foot in circles, but I couldn't do that with this one, so it sticks out a bit. I've only replaced one of the legs and it doesn't wobble, so I can forgive the less than ideal fit. A hole has formed since that leg fell off and I've tried sealing it with tape but the laptop gets very hot. and the tape just falls off. So in my opinion this is my best option because without a leg I don't know what kind of dust or dirt can get there. There are plenty of cheap versions on eBay but they don't include the inner connector which is an essential part of the kit. Without them, the outer legs will definitely fall off; It has glue on it but believe me it's not strong enough. Gluing the inner plug to the inside of the foot prevents it from falling off. While I was cleaning this area a tiny washer fell out of one of the screw holes and I used the included super glue to reattach it and it worked like a charm. It's good value for the whole set and the extra screws might come in handy one day if I lose or tear one of the originals. Legs because it hardens and gives you a rubberized finish.
