    This is a pretty set, but the metal handle doesn’t allow the user to impart much torque to whatever they’re trying to unscrew. I found this system pretty much unusable for disassembling hard drives, my primary reason for buying it. The cheaper 26 kit, OTOH, works like a charm!

    Is anybody else thinking ‘sonic screwdriver’?

    Endotoxin is right, I bought a set with the same handle but a less bits. While I was happy to find a tri-wing bit (aka Nintendo screws) and a lot of small hex bits for opening cellphones etc.., the slippy handle don’t allow you to work on really tight screws. I usually need to use a plier for those hard-to-get screws. But one nice feature is the rotating “head”, which is quite rare or expensive (at least in the shops I went to in France)

  4. Timothy says:

    Sounds like they should put a handle through the shaft so you can use a cheater bar for leverage. or maybe someone could do it themselves…

  5. Stefanie Slamon says:

    This would be an ideal set if the torx bits were security bits so I didn’t have to carry around 2 sets of bits.
