I returned my Jakemy screwdriver kit from the last deal because the kit I received was obviously a customer return. The seal was slit open and it looked like the previous purchaser tried several of the thinnest bits because they were all either bent, broken or stripped. That was a smaller kit from the same company Jakemy. No idea if this kit is made w a stronger alloy.

I bought this last time and it's nice for the price.

side notes:

The plastic was hard to take off and I raked a tool across the plastic. My unit is very identifiable now.

My kit came with a brush inside. It took me a couple of min to figure out where to put the brush to close it. (good luck) I eventually left it out.

Bought this last time and can say that this might be one of my most used kits. It's nice, compact and most importantly pretty cheap for what you get.

Can't speak for how well it holds up in the long run, but for the last few pc builds I did it has performed really well.

Which is higher quality, this kit or the Ifixit?

iFixit is higher quality, but idk the price premium. It might not matter if you are repairing things infrequently.

If you make a habit out of this, then longevity and quality of the small, delicate bits (and their impact on the tiny screws of similar quality in small electronics) becomes important.

Edit: also, not wrecking the actual screws if you are repeatedly using them is also important. For resale or otherwise

Similar-ish but two of the Lidl's near me (Raleigh NC area) have this kit for $3.99 currently, reg price $7.99. Seems fine for light use to medium use.

Why leave the brush out when it conveniently sits in the 'well' right behind the last row of the tool inserts and the case closes easily with it there. (see attached pic)

Thanks OP. I bought the kit in December (same price with the same 15% off and additional promo code then) and it's a fantastic kit for the price.
Hard to beat value that leaves me thinking about getting a second kit for a backup.

I'm assuming you are talking about this kit?
https://www.amazon.com/iFixit-IF145-299-4-Driver-Bit-64pc/dp/B0189YWOIO/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?keywords=ifi... [amazon.com]

Bits aside (of which there are 94 different bits), I like that the Jakemy kit includes a lot of thoughtful items that come in handy when installing/opening/repair electronics that most kits do not including:
  • mini crow bars
  • piano picks
  • flexible shaft extender
  • emergency eyeglasses screws
  • suction cups
  • bit magnetizer

I also like that the mini screwdriver they provide is extendable to greatly increase the size for screws that are in difficult to reach places that take a long screwdriver to access. All of this in one toolbox for $18 seems to me to be a solid SD.

Good input all around, thanks (larger group of bits, "thoughtful items", general prying stuff and so forth that comes in handy). I bought the kit with that input and other folks in the thread

To expand on my view - I've bought Jakemy in the past. There are quality differences in the bits vs iFixit. You _will_ get more mileage out of iFixit bits if you are using them repeatedly on similar components. Non-iFixit bits have legitimately ruined access to certain devices of mine - mainly by stripping such tiny screw that the game sort of just ends then. I can no longer access them. That said, I don't have a statistically significant sample of stripped screws to show for it, although they're probably approaching 30 in number

Edit: for better grammar

I also bought this set last time it was the same price. Seems to work well for what it's worth but haven't tried to use it in real "tough" situations to see if they might bend or not.

The biggest issue I have with this is that the bits are held in with friction (tightness around the holes holding the bits). This makes it a PITA to try and pull one out without scraping your finger (near root of your nails) from time to time. However, if it's not held in too tight, it might fall out. I guess you could use a tweeze to pull them out but it's just a pain.

cant ask for more for this price but if it were magnetic on the bottom, that would be ideal (a different set I bought was magnetic)

If you are repairing little things like switch controllers or computer parts, it will do it's job.

Shame on Slickdeals for pushing this! I already noticed in the OTHER Jakemy post that all the good reviews have rarely used it at all. All the bad reviews that have actually used this set (also with pics) show how soft and fragile the bits are. This " deal" is posted by Slickdeals staff....c'mon , man.
