1.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect to accomplish much with this cheaply made toolkit, May 18, 2007

By	R. Weinberg - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm surprised at the positive reviews of this toolkit that I've read here. It's as if other folks received a different tool kit than the one I got.

As another reviewer says, to begin with you can throw away the vacuum, which is too weak to clean even a keyboard - it's as cheaply made as a toy you might get from a gum machine. Same with the flashlight.

The centerpiece of the outfit - the ratcheting screwdriver - is a fiasco. It has a potentially nice feature that lets you change the angle of the ratcheting head, but the feature is so poorly implemented that most of the time the shaft works itself loose - so it jiggles from side to side out of line with the handle - and you have to be constantly retightening a retaining screw in order to use the driver. Within the first three minutes I used this driver, I was longing for an ordinary screwdriver. In addition, there is a plastic screw-cap that holds the end of the ratchet mechanism in place, and it often falls off while you are tightening or loosening a screw. It's hard to imagine what a frustrating device this is until you've tried to accomplish something with it.

The kit comes with a couple dozen types of driver bits. But why does it have more three-pronged bits (say wha-a-a-t?) than regular Phillips bits? With only three Phillips bits, you seldom have the right head for the most common type of screws, so it's easy to strip a screw. (I've been using tools like these for thirty years, and know how to tighten a screw properly). And, if the screw is at all tight, the bit strips itself very easily - the bits are obviously made of cheap-grade metal, nowhere near professional quality, and not intended for extended use.

I haven't had need to use the Allen wrenches, but they appear to be made of cheap chrome-plated metal, instead of the black spring-steel you would find in a similar tool at your local hardware store. The small box wrenches also appear to made of cheaply forged chrome-plated material.

This toolkit has all the earmarks of the kind of low-budget set that should sell for less than $20, at the most, or might sell as a "gift" item because it has some pretty chromed items and a couple cute (but useless) toys with it.

If you want a toolkit that you can use for serious work around computers, just pass this one by. I'm going to see if I can return it, now that I've seen it in action. Ugh.

2.0 out of 5 stars The 85pc tool kit, August 5, 2006

By	S. Johnson "(insert witty name here)" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A good chunk of items in this tool kit i had to throw away because it was worthless. There is a mini vac that really sucks (no punn intended) and it gives you a mini flashlight wich is also crappy (mine never worked in the first place). If those items were left out this kit would be amazing as everything else in it is great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great kit, February 24, 2006

By	K. Gwynne "Kibblez32" (Eugene OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Though it does not include absolutely everything one would ever need, it is very sturdy and fairly complete.
