The tip of the srewdriver stripped before the screw did. Never thought that was possible, clearly poor quality metal. Probably old mountain dew can or somehting. Also the tip wasn't quiet pointy enough to get down into the screws well enough. Like the one i picked up from another store better.

I bought this tri-wing screw driver after my husband spilt coffee on one of the gamecube controllers and I had no way of cleaning the inside. This screwdriver works great for removing the outer screws on the controller, but a regular small phillips is needed to fully access the L and R buttons from the inside. It doesn't appear that it will last very long, but for short term , infrequent use...it will serve the purpose.

I'm a mechanic, and honstly i've had alot of screw drivers wear out prematurely - especially small tips like this. I've used it to repair the Wii nunchuks that my son broke the buttons on, and it worked perfectly. I see no reason I won't get good life out of it. Hold it in the screw firmly, go slow, then go to the hardware store and replace those stupid triwings with phillips head screws. And like other reviewers, the price was right...

i used to release a Battery on a new macbook Pro 13 and works perfect, its a must have for apple service

I'm an Electrical Engineer and hobby mechanic. I regularly work with small fasteners and electronics. I used this screwdriver to disassemble my Wii which had a broken DVD drive. The screwdriver worked just as I would expect for any product of this type. Some people have complained about these tri-wing screwdrivers stripping the slots but I had no problems. As with any small fastener (philips, flat, tri-wing, or otherwise), you must position the screwdriver straight over the fastener, apply strong downward force, and rotate slowly. I was able to disassemble and reassemble the Wii with no problems and my Wii is working again now.

I had to replace the glass on my HTC Aria cell phone. Got the glass from Amazon, watched a YouTube video. Needed a special screwdriver. This worked beyond my expectation!

Needed to get into my Nintendo WII to remove a lodged penny. With this I was able to open the device up with no trouble.

This product allowed me to safely open my Nintendo DS, re-solder a broken component, and reassemble. Thanks!

Well, not much you can say about a screwdriver. I worked perfectly on the tri-wing screws in the DS lite.

This broke the first time we tried to use it. Didn't even get one rotation on it. I would not recommend this product
