" ...  The kit materials are nicer, organization is much better, and the actual tool quality is much better than previous kits I've worked with.  ...  "
comment
" ...  So far I love the quality of the tools and the thoughfulness of the cloth case they're in.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The build quality is very good and it comes with most of the tools that I need to repair all of my devices.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Especially handy- the magnetic mat that prevents screws from rolling around, the flexible extension for the driver, and a tiny magnetic attachment to help you fish out screws that drop into the case while you're working on something (believe me, it will happen- and it's way better than holding the computer upside down while shaking the screw out).  ...  "
comment
" ...  Also, the bit set includes the flexible drive thing (not sure of its proper name).  ...  "
comment
" ...  It really feels like it's leagues ahead of its predecessor. ... The metal feels downright strong whereas the old kit almost felt like aluminum.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I used the picks to work my way around the case and it opened up easily without any damage.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The tips of the plastic spudger and opening tools seem to hold up reasonably well, which is what I was concerned about before I bought this. ... Overall, the kit feels very durable and seems like a great choice for those dealing with any electronics!  ...  "

comment
" ...  Works great has all the things I need to do my PC work and take things apart, I originally got this to have smaller driver for working with my computer and the various pry tools which I always happen to need and end up using screwdrivers so I pulled the trigger on this. ... I am very pleased with quality of the bits and the driver.  ...  "
