Stanley 66-052 6-Piece Precision Screwdriver Set
i spend a great chunk of my week working on laptops and to that end, need a good precision screwdriver set. i bought one (unknown brand) from a camera store about ten years ago that has been my 'go-to' set over the years, but as i get busier i need more sets around the shop and for my on-site bag. i've puchased a number of sets over the years only to have them fail nearly immediately (stripped tips every time) and really only purchased this set as a test. 6 months in and going strong and i've actually ordered 4 more sets for the shop because i've been so pleased.
the tips don't appear to be hardened (or magnetized) but have held up well so far. the case is nice and the entire set is amazingly lightweight. the drivers themselves are very easy to use with the swiveling, cupped, top being very comfortable and useful.
my only complaint so far is that they're actually TOO light. a little more weight would help with more difficult screws. that being said, i've only had to drop back to my old set twice in the last 6 months and both were on sony laptop drive carriage screws (which are notoriously tight).
well worth the money.
These are great for repairing the screws that fall out of eyeglass frames or for small electronics that have screws on the battery compartments. I have also used on watches to pop open the backs or replace batteries. The case alone is worth the price.
Are today's children truly so much more fragile and accident-prone that we have to lock down EVERY battery on earth?
Anyway, getting access to and changing toy batteries were driving us crazy. This little toolset now resides in the kitchen and makes that chore (and fixing loose glasses) a breeze. They are useful and well made - at the great offered price, am considering another to have one upstairs as well.
I have really used this set a lot. I keep one set in a drawer next to my favorite chair in the family room. I kept another set in my desk drawer at school. I just sent another set to my daughter when she needed to change the batteries in the doorbell of her children's playhouse. I must say they are used the most for changing batteries. These are not large size screwdrivers that you would use for full sized screws. I also like the case they are in. The bright yellow makes them easy to find in the drawer.
