What we think: As far as toolkits go, this is hands down the best electronics toolkit on the market. The travel case/packaging is excellent. it folds up nicely into a compact package and will likely last just as long as the tools inside. Every tool has its own spot. When the canvas wrap is unrolled everything is laid out perfectly and ready to go. The included magnetic work-mat is super useful. The driver, along with the included bits are superb quality. The steel used for the bits is 6150. For the geeks here's the breakdown of the contents of this steel: 0.5% C, 0.8% Mn, 0.9% Cr, 0.18% V. For the rest of us this means this steel is a type of CR-V steel, generally used for knives and swords. Seriously, we're in awe! Along with your standard philips and flat head, there are hex drivers, pentalobe, torx, and other difficult to find various bits. The driver handle is incredibly solid. We've used other small electronics screwdrivers in the past and the number one problem we've found is that too much torque will break the handle. That's definitely not going to happen here. Combine this with the flex extension and the tool can reach almost anywhere. Finally the spindle on top is mounted on a bearing instead of being pressed over a flange so the spinning action is consistent and smooth. This means you can manipulate very fine parts in difficult to reach spots with lots of precision and torque. The other items in the kit are all high grade. The small plastic pry tools are beautifully made and with those you will be able to open pretty much any smart phone or tablet. We are particularly fond of the nylon tipped reverse tweezers. These are one of the most well crafted hand tools we've ever used. Bottom line is this is a must-have for anyone who works on their own computer, wants to fix a cell phone, game console, or anyone who is a tinkerer in general. On top of how great this kit is, if you ever decide to follow any of ifixit’s videos or instruction guides (which I are super useful and we also highly recommend), you’ll have all of the exact same tools they're using. Persistent Innovation We’ve got a pulse on how electronics are held together. Armed with the data from hundreds of teardowns and thousands of repair guides, our teardown technicians were able to curate the most capable compact toolkit. And it packs a serious punch. Necessity is the mother of invention—and we invented the Pro Tech Toolkit to have the right precision tool to get you out of any tight spot. The new Pro Tech Toolkit is the one thing every DIYer, fixer, hacker, hobbyist, and professional needs to tackle any job. It’s all-new and it’s all-powerful. Deliberate Tool Selection Every tool in the Pro Tech Toolkit has been re-engineered to be better. From the 64 Bit Driver Kit to the iFixit Opening Picks, every tool is specially designed and selected to maximize your repair capabilities. Contained inside its sturdy compact tool roll, the Pro Tech Toolkit includes two glass-filled nylon spudgers, metal spudger, anti-static wrist strap, 7 KG pull suction cup, angled and blunt ESD safe tweezers, nylon tipped ESD safe reverse tweezers, six opening picks, iFixit Jimmy opening knife, 3 plastic opening tools, magnetic pad for screws, and the 64 bit driver kit. Quality To The Core At the core of this kit is the iFixit 64 Bit Driver Kit, designed with extensive research into what fastener types are currently used in the consumer electronics industry and which legacy fasteners are still in demand by consumers. From the Apple Watch with its new tiny Tri-Point screws to vintage Nintendo game consoles with gamebit fasteners, the 64 bit kit covers them all with the highest quality CNC machined bits. Even the sturdy case was carefully engineered, having no hinges or latches to break, and features a sorting tray inside the magnetically attached lid.
