- Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2011This screw driver was used to retrieve a mystery item inserted into our Nintendo Wii. Toddler girl said she wanted candy so she put a coin into the wii opening. Nevertheless I was not going to pay Nintendo $85 to open and retrieve what i knew was already in there. I bought this screw drive despite some bad reviews that said this thing was of poor quality. Whomever strips this tool after only one use, as some people have said, must be strong arming this very tiny screw driver. Take it from me, the quality is good and with tool care it will last a long time, that is, until you lose it. It is small so label it.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2011Looking over all the Triwing screwdrivers offered at Amazon, I wasn't sure which one to buy. Nearly every review out there mentioned that the screwdriver would "strip" after the 3rd use which suggested that a lot of these screwdrivers were poorly made. But this screwdriver looked different from the rest and I thought I might try it.
Anyway, I just used it to take apart my Wii (to repair a faulty DVD drive) and this screw driver worked great. It took out all the Wii triwing screws perfectly. The tip is still in good shape as are the heads of all the screws. No stripping! And the rotating yellow top makes it easy to work the screwdriver one handed.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2011I bought this product to open up my GBA Micro. At first I was skeptical, it didn't seem a great fit for the screws and I was nervous that it would strip the screw or the screwdriver or both, so I just took a deep breath, applied lots of pressure, and got all the screws out and the device opened successfully.
Pros: the other end of the screwdriver is free to rotate (the yellow part in the picture), so it's nice for screwing things in and out.
Cons: the shape of the head still seems to not be the ideal size, I still don't trust it completely. But you probably won't find a better fit unless you buy a screwdriver from Nintendo.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2011I bought this screwdriver to open our Nintendo Wii in order to remove the paperclips my daughter thought belonged in the disc slot. Much to our dismay, the Wii does not play paperclips! Initially the screwdriver did not work... it was just starting to strip the tiny Y-screws. I realized that the tip of the screwdriver was too sharp an angle to really grab hold of the screw, so I used some sandpaper and sanded down the sharp tip about 1 mm. After that, the screwdriver worked like a charm!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2010Many folks on YouTube and elsewhere try to convince you that a very small flathead screwdriver can replace the need for this tool. It is just not the case! Considering the low price of this tool - and the chance to get it with Free Super Saver Shipping - this item RIGHT HERE is the thing you want to invest in.
And what an investment it was! Our Wii has been victim to both the 'buzzing noise' issue and a sudden complete halt of drive operation. We knew we had to open the thing. The buzzing issue started about six months ago, and eventually got louder and louder. We started looking at the various triwing tools you could buy, but just never got around to buying the thing. Seemed too complicated! Then the second problem surfaced - the drive stopped spinning entirely. Games went from loading every 4th or 5th try to never loading at all.
So, rather than investing in a new Wii with money we just don't have right now (despite the great new lower price and black color) it was time to get a tri-wing screwdriver and open it up and see what is wrong. It couldn't possibly be broken any more than it already was, right?
I couldn't be happier about this product. My 10-year-old and I were able to disassemble the Wii by following the YouTube instructions given by by Supermodchips, and in about one hour had the Wii disassembled, tested, reassembled, and the boys are off playing it again as I write this very review!
First things first regarding the product review - the triwing screws are SO DANG TINY you will be thankful that you bought a real tool. This one is the exact quality you would expect out of a premium tool, was shipped quickly, and has a rubbery plastic black handle that makes it easy to grip and turn the device.
Second - my son and I were able to blow out the dust from all the components once the Wii was disassembled, found two small loose plastic doomahickeys roaming around inside (we still have no clue what they are or where they should go). When testing the drive out after removing those plastic doomahickeys, we followed the YouTube instructions given by WhoTNT on fixing the buzzing noise, and voila!
I am SO glad we bought this tool before we tried something else, and ended up having to buy this tool anyway after much frustration. I know there are 'cheaper' ones on other sites, but you do get what you pay for. If you do the Free Super Saver Shipping option with Amazon you will find out that this investment was well worth giving up one McFrappé.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2009My daughter was a little over zealous with the touch screen on her DS Lite and ended up damaging it. I purchased a new touch screen and screwdriver from a dealer in Korea via another site. To my surprise, the driver and screen arrived, but the triwing screwdriver's tip would not properly meet with the screw head on account of the angle of the tip's cut, rendering it absolutely worthless to open a DS Lite. This screwdriver arrived promptly, is of high quality and actually works. Now I do not have any excuse to try to open up the DS. We'll have to see now if the new screen will work.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2016I recently purchased a classic Gameboy, you remember that old brick-of-a-handheld? Well I've been feeling very nostalgic lately, and have been making a lot of purchases lately, ones that bring my back to my childhood. I plan on passing a lot of things down to my kids, let them experience childhood like I did. So in order for me to clean the device really well, I wanted to open it up, and do a proper job. The only problem was I needed a specific "X" but without one of the sides type screw driving. Little did I know it was called a Triwing Screwdriver. I purchased this one here, and had no problem at all. It hugged the screws very securely, so I never experienced any stripping, and all the screws came off without a fight. Great tool, feels very solid, handle material feels very nice, a bit rubbery for grip. Overall a good experience.
