3.0 out of 5 stars good portable small-screws driver, but not perfect., May 3, 2010

The biggest positive about this item is the portability. I like the storage in the handle, and its solid - doesn't feel flimsy at all.

with that said - in order for it to be perfect, it needs harder bits. The included bits are just too soft for any kind of work other than eyeglasses repair.

Firstly - be aware that it does not come with any sort of flathead bit. Even though it doesn't claim to - i'm adding it in case someone is just browsing quickly, and skims over that part. This is a specialty set, and you should look at their general set if you need common bits: http://www.amazon.com/Precision-Screwdriver-Set-Torx-Phillips/dp/B002Q836V4/ref=pd_sim_hi_1

What i did was scrap all the bits that came with it, and pillaged a larger precision set that i had for the bits that were appropriate for me.

for me, the need for portability outweighed the quality issues and cost... but for someone looking for a decent precision set just to have around - skip this.

I want to be able to score this higher - all it needs is better bits. As it is though - without me having another precision set laying around- this product would have been useless to me. I chewed up the included philips bit within my first two uses and rounded off two of the torx bits in situations where they shouldn't have (ie: low torque).

I would recommend the husky precision set at home depot if portability isn't your chief concern(ranges between 5-7.00 usually) which is more complete, and much heavier duty (forged bits) - but is not nearly as portable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy snap on bits, looks cheap but feels solid, June 26, 2009

I chose this over another pen-type precision tool due to the bits included and the ease of snapping the bits using magnetism rather than tightening the whole body.

From the pictures, the set looks nice and shiny but the actual thing is tarnished. Everything is dull because of the metal used which is similar to brass wherein you need to polish and it stains your fingers/hands when used. This is why I'm giving it only 4 stars.

As for the function and portability, it does the job and it's really handy. The bits are not magnetic but solid and molded correctly. Although non-magnetic, the bits can still magnetize small screws because the body where they snap on have a strong magnet attracting the screws as well. This is nice because you don't have to worry leaving the bit attached to the driver. All bits (9 of them) fit in the pen driver so you don't need to leave 1 bit attached to accommodate the rest. The middle part of the pen driver is rough for easy grip when in use. The cap that screws to keep the bits is threaded correctly meaning you can easily put the cap back on without struggling to find the right threading. This is nice for a cheap product as I've had several expriences wherein the cheap build breaks the thread or you couldn't screw the cap back on.

It's kind of cheap looking but feels solid when in use. The price is just about right for this set. So if you need a handy precision tool that is under $10, this is it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless, May 18, 2011

I bought this set to dismantle old hard drives, but the torx screws used to hold them together are made of harder metal than the bits and promptly rounded the tip of the bit I tried to use off.
