The different tweezers are also extremely good quality (especially compared to cheaper sets)
This may not be the cheapest set, but if you are looking for one toolkit for repairing electronics this is it.

This one's GOOD!
Add s2 steel to your search on any kit on amazon, they're usually pretty decent.
What you're trying to avoid is chrome vanadium which are a bit softer and wear out/ strip.
Anyway the quality of a kit will be very apparent by eye, so just buy whatever s2 kit on amazon, and inspect it. you'll see it, if the bits look poorly formed or not uniform, just return it.
There's nothing inherently special about wiha. The only truly special screw drivers, are some stuff used for watch repair, everything else just needs to be good enough.
I also want to add that the ifixit bit holder (driver) is poorly designed, it's too heavy, for small bits, it's important you can feel the torque so you don't overtighten/ strip a small screw, that is not possible with a holder that's heavy. It "feels nice" in the hand and is heavy, but this is not the proper design for detailed work.
I bought this for $40 five or six years ago and if someone swiped it from me I'd happily pay $60 to replace it.
I have literally never found myself trying to repair something electronic and coming up missing a tool. Everything is high quality and well warrantied in case there actually is any kind of problem.
And something to keep in mind is that iFixIt offers a TON of free resources for how to repair your devices, and has done a lot to fight for "right to repair" legislation that helps people be able to fix the things they own. Buying this kit instead of a cheaper version helps support an extremely consumer-friendly company.
err...it's DELIXI...btw xiaomi kits also made by DELIXI.

I have had this same kit for about 8-9 years now, have misplaced the forceps and jacked up spudging tools by abusing them, so the refresh is welcomed.
All of the bits have stayed in perfect form (unlike similar SKIL sets where things have twisted and lost form) and the actual handle is amazing with the little twist thing working just as perfect as day 1. Having some extra bits and another handle I can throw in my bag or vehicle will be awesome.
I used to think it was an overpriced kit, until I used one at work and bought my own the next day. Even at full price, the time I have owned it comes out to < $10/year for something that has saved me countless headaches.
Buy nice or buy twice! Get this rather than the SKIL or Harbor Freight ones where you'll end up having to buy this later when those fail.
I own every tool they have and never had any issues. Customer service has been great with questions.

You get what you pay for.
Get the Harbor Freight if you want to save money. Get the iFixit only if you want to support the company but I personally think it's stupid to just donate $25 to a company instead of using what you saved to buy their other products.
