I almost bought this (again) for the Tri-wing bit. Then I realized I already owned it. When I tried to use it, the bits were too big. None of the tri-wing bits are small enough to use on the small screws in Nintendo, cellphones, etc.
For other uses, it has been a handy bit-set.

The triwing bits were too thick for the Wii, so this toolkit was useless for fixing the Wii. It probably won't work on most delicate technology.

I bought this set mostly for the tri-wing bits so I could use it with my Nintendo gear, but the tri-wing bits are tapered instead of flat, and so don't fit into Nintendo screws. I'm sure I'll find a use for the bits eventually...

I bought this to open a PS3 which has the security Torx screw. None of these fit. Based on my visual inspection, the quality of the bits are not very precise, so the sharp edges of the torx screw did not work with the dull edges of these bits. Also, the security hole didn't seem deep enough. Disgusted, I just broke out the drill and drilled out the one screw that holds the PS3 cover (out of warranty anyway, so I didn't care)

Useless to me, but the carrying case is kinda nice. Maybe it'll be useful opening some other kind of box for me some day, but for now, it'll just sit in the drawer. At least it was cheap.

These particular bits strip easy and you should expect to only get a couple of uses out of each. The bits rusted in less than a week. Also to be noted is that the bits are deformed, leaving some of the bits completely nonfunctional. I would spend the extra money and get a better made set.

I just received the product in the mail, and for the very first use, the bit collapses on itself. this is because many of the bits are hollowed out and are made with shoddy materials. warning to everyone. the price is good, but you'll end up wasting it when you have to buy new bits like me.

Stripped the bit on my first try. Most of the bits have off centered holes. Don't buy this at all!!!

At least two of the bits are off center. The back of the box describes a pair of pliers, not the bit set shipped. One of the bits was already broken and the steel was peeled back like a lemon rind.

I bought this bit set for the #10 spanner bit and it broke on the second screw I used it on. There is no warranty offered by the manufacturer. Too bad that there isn't an option to leave zero stars.

This was perfect for me. I had a small air compressor inside a box for use outside to aerate a pool of water. It stopped pumping air but still made noise like it was running. The box was sealed with screws that had heads that could not be unscrewed with the tools I had. After doing research on the Internet I found out these were "security" screws. Their purpose was to keep me from opening the box so that I had to return it to the factory for service. The factory wanted $200.00 to fix the unit. After I got this set of bits I opened the box with no problem. What was wrong with the unit was the hose had become detached from the compressor. I reattached the hose, closed the box with normal screws and everything works perfectly again. This set of bits saved me many times their cost.
