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.

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.
Torx bits are going to strip ifixit kit or harborfreight quinn kit. harborfreight got a lifetime warranty on the set so it's dumb to buy the ifixit version.
I used to be repair tech in the cellphone industry and no professionals use those drivers in the set anyways, they just don't hold up....Only tool we ever did use from ifixit was the good ole jimmy.
You could probably piece together a kit for $60 that would blow this away and only get the drivers you need. Although if you needed a kit for most small repairs it will do the job.

Here's an FAQ on bits from ifixit
https://help.ifixit.com/article/2...it-on-bits
And attached is a snapshot to a delixi kit on aliexpress where the specs say material is Chromium vanadium.
Update: I just observed that ifixit model in OP as listed on amazon is not described as S2 steel, but 6150 steel which is a version of CRV. The same model as shown in ifixit website is shown as S2 steel being used for the bits. Those who are specific might want to validate with ifixit customer support prior to purchase on what you are getting for the money. If it is only CRV material instead of S2, $60 is probably overpriced even for ifixit

This is also chrome vanadium if you look at the material specifications listed, and not s2
