Precision Screwdrivers, Bit Sets, and Warnings. |s Snap On the Best? 

Get German or Swiss made precision drivers, and a Vessel set for JIS. Tiny screws are easy to strip out and a huge pain to remove once stripped. A removable bit set is a good option if you can't get an individual driver... but individual drivers are generally your best choice.

I like that you get down to the nitty gritty of tools. Detailed information

I have Wiha, Wera, Klein, Gedore, Felo, Snap On and PB Swiss. They are all nice, but the PB Swiss with the Swiss grip are my favorites.

Hi Doug/Doc? Just FYI: changing the button on the phone will result in non-working phones. The security chips inside the button make sure that each button/iPhone pair are un-separable. Kind regards

Excellent review, many new info to me. To my experience the handle is critical in those tools, some has terrible grip. I have Wiha and Wera from Germany, l preffer Wiha handles.

Wiha has a neat precision bit driver I been thinking about picking up for myself. Enjoy'ed this one Doc!

Wera makes some amazing precision tools. I highly suggest taking a look at them!

You need to try the Wiha drivers. There is a reason they are industry standard pretty much everywhere. I've never seen anyone buy a Snap On precision driver for electronics out in the wild.

Snap on,Wera and Whia are made at the same manufacturing plant in Shusang province in China,Wera and Whia also have manufacturing facilities in Taiwan and Germany but the bulk of production is China based,fun fact

Tbh the JIS driver is vastly superior to the PH one, even for PH screws. They sit slightly deeper into the screw head so they dont cam out anywhere near as often as PH drivers do. JIS drivers and bits are pretty sought after because of this, even more so with rumors that Japan is phasing them out to fit the international market more. But yeah your point was still well taken!

Glad to see ifixit has an alumnium precision screwdriver. I had to replace a hard drive in my iMac and I bought a hard drive swap kit that included the holder and 3 bits or so. I was not impressed with the plastic one. I’ll definitely look into that full kit with the aluminum handle though.

Good video Doc, I'd have guessed you would have had the Wera Kraftform precision driver set. They make a big set of like 6 styles (torx, flat, hex, Phillips, ball hex, etc) in about a 30pc fold up wrap set. Haven't used them but they do look decent & Ive got them on my list.

Just got the torx set of the snap on precision electronic ones in the foam, havnt tried yet. I'll probably use them to take apart my pocket knives and stuff, those little t6 and t8 fasteners are easy to destroy lol along with the driver itself

You should become an ergonomics engineer. Worked at a biotechnology research department as a student ( I was a pleb nothing fancy) Fascinating field of study with every industry conceivable. From tool companies, to medical and even the military spends a lot of money in R&D. Anything from prosthetics to weapon design for accuracy. The greater the comfort, the greater the accuracy with less fatigue, increasing productivity. They even equated cancer through mathematics to insure different specialists communicate the same diagnosis and everyone is in the same page. ( Trying to avoid a cenario with 5 different specialist having 5 different diagnosis) Really cool.

Man you have a love for them like I do oh thats so cool!! Excellent video!!

I just ordered the Kaisi 133 in 1 precision set-the one that’s red inside the box

Regarding the iFixit screwdrivers, there are two versions ? why does one have a plastic grip and the other aluminum ?

Great video! I have the Ifixit kit too and have gone through plenty of laptops and other small electronics. Do you have the regular snap on bit set (SDM400)? I recently picked up a snap on kit with a regular ratcheting screwdriver and the stubby one and it had that bit set in the kit (SGDMRC108A). Got it for 200 CAD basically brand new. Is the bit set any good?

Advice on how to buy one when you need one? For the disorienteered ones... I mean types (tri-wing, torx, Phillips, etc.) sizes, terms, names & online Shops?!

A lot of Chinese made products use JIS screws. I strip a lot of TVs at work. Many of them have the little dot on the screws.

I bought a 32 pc pittisburgh bit set. the bit doesnt secure when placed on the handle. am I doing something wrong? Because it just falls out, you can't tighten it.The handle looks like the green and black one you picked up, but its not that brand

that snap on design screams to me chinesium OEM since my brother got a nanch bit driver set it came with the same driver design so the question is who designed the driver design

I have those same "snap on" precisions however some of them are roe buck branded and some are branded irazola. Who actually make those snap ons?

You can get various 6 piece Wera micro sets on Amazon for about $35 a set. They are the best quality i have ever used.

I like Wiha the best
