Having used the cheap tools previously: Suction cups - The bit where the pull ring attaches to, just rips off. Pry tools - The thin tab, the prying bit, just snaps off.. dont have to worry about breaking the handle, you'll junk the tool long before then. Screwdriver and bits - The bits are made from cheap cheap white metal. They just chew out or mush as soon as you apply any force. Tweezers - Usually fine.

The problem with those China-made toolkit is that when used on really hard to twist screws,the tips become rounded. The metallic tips are rather soft.

@GrandHighGamer 4 года назад

Yeah you're losing the hardening. But if you're more of a hobbyist they're obviously pretty much fine. The nylon spudgers and 'guitar picks' are garbage offbrand though, as they're simultaneously too thick to easily get into gaps and too bendy to be used more than a couple of times. Likewise suction cups are often bent and unusable.

@MichaelScrip 4 года назад

As a former cell phone shop employee, I'd like to point out that while iFixit bits are great for fixing a lot of different devices over time, imho they aren't great for prolonged, repeated daily use. If you need to fix a lot of the same stuff with the same bit, especially in mobile devices, the shop I used to work at used Wiha brand screwdrivers for almost everything. My manager worked there fixing iPhones for 6+ years, and has probably replaced his Phillips #000 Driver twice or three times. I've been taught to avoid iFixit bits for the long-term durability factor. Just my two cents worth. Have a nice day!

@LocoHosa 5 лет назад

I feel like this is a really fair complaint as well as a fair compromise from them. I don't want every bit to be made of the best steel ever because most bits I'll only use a handful of times. The bits I use regularly I can buy higher quality versions, or just a handful of spares. I'd also say your judgement based on a bit that is particularly small and delicate. I could use Ifixit daily for server and laptop repair and I doubt I'd have the issues you describe. Just my $0.02.

@TheSir2005 5 лет назад

If you repair devices all day you dont wanna screw around with a bitset anyway, i mean who wants to change bits constantly? Better to get a nice Wiha picofinish or Wera Kraftform set, much much quicker. A microbit set is really just only for people who from time to time need it or who need to have a set with them on the go just in case...

@amshermansen 5 лет назад

As a fellow phone repairman, I would offer a counterpoint. While not great for longterm use, iFixit has lifetime warranty on all of the bits in their kits. It makes it the best possible solution overall in my experience (for both Phone and PC needs broadly) over specialized tools.

@trevorpiccone1327 5 лет назад

@nan.a323 Год назад

@@Moody_Blues_ this is quite old, but I'd like to give some insight as someone who lives in a third world country. in Brazil, shipping prices are TERRIBLE. the products are expensive (since they're charged in USD) and the shipping doesn't help, especially when taxes are in the mix. in a nutshell, the stores that do ship here (which are almost none, when talking about the "reputable brands" we see in LTT's and other tech youtuber's videos) are REALLY expensive, so we tend to make do either with cheaper national brands or with the china stuff from aliexpress or banggood. i believe that these companies would only have things to gain if they paid a little bit more attention to growing markets like ours, sadly tho, it takes money to get money and most of them are not willing to bet on things that might not catch on.

Used that same orange kit for my professional applications for years, till I accidentally left it behind at a customers house because I was super tired and had to leave in a hurry to another job I was running behind... Replaced it for a few dollars more with a kit that included tweezers, scribe tools and all kinds of extras I still haven't needed. If you just need something cheap that works, these knock-off kits are great. Had everything I ever needed except the much larger bits that you would need full sized/specialty drivers for. (Side note - mine didn't come with the wrist strap or spudgers - which is fine, I had my own - and in the case of the grounding strap, one that actually works.)

the problem with cheap tools and low quality is not the variety...is the metal quality especially on the screwdriver noses. i had a tone of them break or become round with just a bit of extra push while trying to unscrew a stuck crews or something. they are just butter noses they produce many metal srapnels and get destroyed.

@eduardoavila646 5 лет назад

I dont think linus would do that, unfortunatly. But it would be cool to make a test in a soldered screw (every bit type avaiable like phillips, torx, etc), using a torquimeter, trying hard to unscrew it (using even a lever system if required) and measure how much force is used before the bits suffer any significant damage. It should give a really cool idea of how much of a difference in resistance there is with those. I think that maybe you guys could go in project farm's channel and ask him to do this test, this guy do this kind of tests (even tho it seems to be more related to industrial stuff), but idk.
