iFixit IF145-307-4 Pro Tech Toolkit

I bought this just over a week ago, and so far I've already used it to open up and clean my nephew's laptop, and open up and repair an old Panasonic sound bar. There are tools inside for almost every conceivable use, and a few that I don't even know what they're for.There are driver heads for almost everything, and a few I don't recognise (perhaps they are for some proprietary screws used by some manufacturers? I don't know). These heads are all on the small side, so you won't - for example - get a larger-girth Phillips head bit, but chances are high that those are the kinds of driver heads you already have an ample supply of. They are magnetic, though, decently so. I was able to pull out some reasonably long screws from a laptop entirely with the magnet, and they didn't fall.Unfortunately, the driver bits have some kind of non-standard, narrow shank I've not seen before, so I can't use them with my main ratcheting screwdriver or any other socketed screwdrivers for that matter, so you're stuck with using the screwdriver that came with the kit.The screwdriver itself is... fine. It feels nice in the hand and is made from metal. The blue top freely rotates, so you can hold it steady with one hand and rotate the driver below with another, and the grip is well-textured. It's on the thin side, so if you've got a particularly tight screw you might fail to get much purchase, but I haven't had problems so far. It also comes with a flexible extension, allowing you to unscrew things at weird angles in hard-to-reach places.The driver set is contained in a very sturdy ABS case. The lid is firmly held on magnetically, and the whole case attaches to the fabric container via a magnetic plate. When the case is removed, you can slide this magnetic plate out of the fabric kit and use it to keep screws in place.Other tools include various prising tools and spudgers, several different sets of tweezers (which all feel impressive to use and very sturdy), an anti-static wristband, and a suction cup (which I haven't had cause to use yet, so I don't know how effective it is).Everything in the set feels very high quality. I don't see any of it wearing out any time soon. It's a fantastic kit and should have almost everything you'll ever need to perform electronics surgery on your gizmos. A little on the expensive side (including a small soldering iron as well might have sweetened the deal, and would make this kid 'complete'), but you get what you pay for, I suppose.

As with most small items in electronics, they can be very fiddly to use the magnitised tips make this so much easier, there is a great selection of bits , especially the very awkward shapes some manufacturers use in putting items together,it has a very well made case with good selection of bits to cover every possible shape you find in , digital gear, IE laptop's, phone's, etc , so much is produced now with no means of repair, it's nice to find a company that has addressed that issue 🤗

Make disassembling gadgets and electronics super easy. There's a tool for everything along with a magnetic pad for the screws.... and in a compact sleeve.

I work in IT so I decided to purchase this for when I need to open up a device. So far I dont think there is a single thing I haven't been able to get into with this kit. The bits are very hard and don't deform like many of the cheaper sets.The screwdriver itself feels solid and works very well, only drawback I would say is that the pattern on the grip can make it really hurt when trying to unscrew something tight but I completely understand that it is meant to give you a better gripThe plastic wedges etc have helped me to open laptops and various other bits of equipment and only get slightly damaged after use. I believe replacements for these can be purchased seperatelyOverall great kit and all feels very well made

Really good toolkit, liked the selection it provided, robust and easy to use, and well priced

This set is great for absolutely anything, even outside its intended purpose which is technology. Very well built and durable, lots of tools. Your number one best friend for repairing.

It would have been five stars, but the suction cup was deformed and wouldn't hold. I read on a forum to soak it in boiling water and that did the trick, but when I pay this much for a toolkit, I don't want to have to do this.The tools are excellent quality. There is a huge array of bits that stay firmly in the driver. The tools and the case feel sturdy and great quality. I would recommend this kit to anyone looking at repairing electronic devices.
