Maxtech 16521MX 32 Piece Precision Bit Set Reviews
Using the extension as a work around solves that problem. A great selection for the price. Plastic handle causes the bits to slip down into the handle. Find myself taking apart everything just to test out the bits. Otherwise the bits are pretty tough.
Gary Peterson Everyone has need of screwdrivers from time to time and almost everyone has a small collection of screwdrivers that work, more or less, some of the time. When I need it, it's invaluable. I've used the set on a few items so far and it works real well.
When the problem becomes great enough, then a lot of time is spent (wasted) in Home Depot and other such stores seeking out possible solutions. Conventional screwdrivers are generally useless. I anticipate it will save a lot of time and effort and trips to Home Depot. Then there are those strange specialized screws that are neither slot head nor phillips head. Keep in mind that I'm not a professional "fixer." I'm just a homeowner who has occasional use for such a set. Oh well, if the problem ever comes up I've possibly got the solution. Boy, can they be a headache.
Here's a nifty little inexpensive item that I will very seldom use. A major problem of mine has been with really small screws on appliances, electronic items and things of that sort. This nifty little screwdriver set has 32 bits, some of which I didn't even know existed and will probably never use in my lifetime. I'm very pleased to store it away in my garage tool area. Ten or twenty dollars can go by real easily, not to mention the time and gas money, just for the removal of one or two fastening devices.
Good value item, it should not be used for heavy duty work, but for casual users it's perfect.
This is not recomended for a regularch tech, entusiats, just for the very casual user as it will not last longer. This set look great on pictures, but made materials are not soo great.
I only gave it 4 stars because of one flaw: The plastic collet does not close tightly enough with a standard degree of tightening on the ferrule, and so bits tend to slip inwards when pressure is applied to the handle; since the handle is hollow to allow for the extension shaft, they can slip entirely in. But one can sidestep this entirely by using the extension shaft, which then allows bits to be quickly put in and removed while leaving the ferrule just barely tight.
The bits are quite hard and haven't stripped at all. So far I have used the Torx T5 and Phillips #00 to swap out the hard drive in my MacBook Pro, and the Philips #0 and #1 and Posi #1 for fixing toys and the like, and the only sign of stripping was of a screw when I first tried using Phillips #1 rather than Posi #1 (which explains a lot of stripped screws using other tools in the past I had never heard of Posi-Drive before, and it really is different, so great to have).
This is a comprehensive, well-made, and attractive set for precision work, as it was intended. I like it a lot.
Perhaps someday the collet will break as for the prior reviewer, through overtightening the ferrule or using the driver to force a hard-put screw, but so far there hasn't been any sign of that happening. One has to tighten the ferrule a tad bit more than feels normal to get the bits to stay put.
