Wiha ESD Safe precision screwdrivers work great for thread locked screws in laptops and other computer components.
This set comes with:
Phillips: #00 x 40mm, #0 x 50mm, #1 x 60mm
Slotted: 1.5 x 40mm, 2.0 x 40mm, 2.5 x 50mm, 3.5 x 60mm
I purchased this set four years ago and I was just reminded recently how great these Wiha drivers were when I forgot my set at home (was working on an Intel NUC build during the weekend). We needed to repair an office laptop and the various screwdrivers and bit driver kits we had at work just cams out and nearly stripped the screws for the M.2 slot and HDD. Stopped working on the laptop until the next day when I can bring my Wiha. With the Wiha, removing the problematic screws was as easy as pie. Purchasing a similar set
Wiha 27399 Screwdriver Set, Slotted And Phillips ESD Precision, 8 Piece
which comes with Phillips #000 and pouch so I never have this problem again.
Only cons with the 27390 kit are (apart from price), there is no case and the tips aren't magnetized which made putting screws back in more difficult. For the pouch, you can buy the
Wiha 91118 Green Canvas Pouch for Sets, 8 positions
separately or buy the other kit with pouch linked above. Wiha also sells a
Wiha 40010 Magnetizer or Demagnetizer
. Yes, I know HDDs use magnetic recording but the risk of a dropped screw causing a short or static far outweighs the risk of the weak magnetism messing up the HDD.
