this product is about the only tri wing that will not work on wii or ds properly.



BEWARE of reviews below that look good since they are shill reviews from the vendor. this is dishonest of them. see "NYC R.W. "RW"" review. review only reviews products from this vendor and only gives five stare reviews -- including of such scams as cell phone antenna boosters.

I bought this product for some of the smaller torx and the bits are worthless. The drive is made of cheap platic and looks as though it will break at any moment. A waste of money.

this is what it says it is and nothing more. it will work in a bind but not an item you want to trust. the bits are about half the size length and width of standard bits. the whole package thing is made out of cheap materials. if it is something you are going to use everyday look else where. if you need it for a quick repair on a single item them it should easily do you well. also be ready to repack it. the container that it ships is similar in quality to those used for the lower end laser pointers. the bits do not stay in their spots and the lid just sets into place. no locks or hinges of any sort. anything more than a few bucks and you are going to feel ripped of.

My screwedriver set does not look exactly like the picture here, and they werent magnetic. I received 2 of these items and on opening up one, the case was broken. When I tried to put the tips into the handle, they didn't fit. The second case opened up unbroken, but the tips didnt fit into the handle either.Both were a waste of money! I threw them both away!

I purchased this set to work on the Wii. The set does have the tri-wing bit. The one down-side with this set for the Wii is that there are a couple of screws that this screwdriver has trouble getting due to the legnth of the bits.

For a general set with hard to find bits (and being magnetic), I'm happy with the set. If buying specifically for the Wii, I'd pick a different tri-wing screwdriver.

Bought this to fix an XBOX, so i really only needed two of the torx bits. I assumed I was getting a deal at only $5 shipped, unfortunately neither of the bits I needed fit properly. I wasn't able to loosen any of the bolts since the fitment was so loose, so I ended up buying another product later in order to fix my XBOX. I would advise anyone considering this product to save your $5 and go somewhere with high quality products like McMaster Carr.

Watch Out! They're lying! If you want to fix a broken DS Lite then DON'T buy this set. Yes it does come with triwing and phillips bits,However, They're to Big to fit the DS screws and you'll end up buying another set or fighting with the cheap ones you get with a new case. It could be a useful set in other applications, I don't know. Disclaimer should read "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR Nintendo DS/DS Lite!"

This is fine for single use per bit, but it strips entirely too easy. I ended up using a pair of pliers since the bit doesn't seat tight enough, it ends up spinning in the handle rather than unscrewing the screws! I had to turn the bit with the pliers because the handle was useless. Thankfully I rarely need to use this.

This is a small screwdriver set, with magnetic bits. The screwdriver is smaller than expected, but still works. I am not sure why people hate this, they are paying less than $6 for a screwdriver set (including shipping). If you want high quality you need to go $20+.
I used this set to put together a full computer from scratch. The ends are magnetic which hold the screws in place, while trying to reach into tight corners. There is a small nub of plastic on mine from the mold of the handle which can scrape may hand, but I could adjust how I hold it fine. I even had to install some fans in the case, and the screws have to drive into the plastic (read: extremely hard twisting), no part of the screw driver set showed signs of strain from this process, and that is much more torque than the average person would use with this. The only issue was that since the screwdriver was small, it was hard to put so much torque on it unless you were in a good position.

Pros:
-Dirt Cheap
-Many bits including unconventional ones
-Magnetic tips that hold the screws
-Fine case to keep all the parts together
-Small so it does fit in tight places

Cons:
-A little small, difficult to turn hard (torque)
-Had a sharp edge from manufacturing
-Plastic handle (but what doesn't?)

If you are looking for a cheap fix, this is what you are looking for it will get the job done for sure. If you are looking for a set of tools that will last you a lifetime look to spend more than $6.

I purchased these for my husband who runs his own PC repair business, he was excited that I had found these because they were small and magnetic which he needs for those tiny screws. Big let down there. These are not what was advertised..yes they are a screwdriver set but not magnetic in any way.
